Get ready to bid on Disneyland items as the World’s Largest Single Owned Disneyland Collection gets ready to hit the auction block

If you’re a Disney enthusiast or a fan of the magical world created by Walt Disney, get your auction paddles ready. The largest individually-owned Disneyland collection in the world is about to hit the auction block in less than a week. The Joel Magee Disneyland Collection, consisting of over 1,500 items amassed over a 30-year period, will be auctioned off at Van Eaton Galleries in Los Angeles, California, starting on Monday, July 17, 2023.

The anticipation surrounding this auction is immense, as the collection showcases a visual history of Disney Parks, including many rare artifacts that haven’t been seen by the public for over 60 years. The exhibition, which began on June 28, 2023, has already attracted over 40,000 visitors who were captivated by the extensive display of Disney memorabilia. If you haven’t had the chance to witness this extraordinary collection, you still have until Sunday, July 16, 2023, to visit the exhibition at the Burbank Town Center Mall in Burbank, California.

What makes this auction truly remarkable is the sheer magnitude and diversity of the items included. From iconic vehicles like the 1917 Model T Ford Moving Van from Main Street, created by Walt Disney himself, to rare animatronic figures like the set of three Hitchhiking Ghosts from The Haunted Mansion, this collection is a treasure trove for Disney aficionados and fans of the beloved theme park.

Among the standout pieces up for auction is a Peter Pan Ship Ride Vehicle, estimated to fetch between $50,000 and $100,000. Also in the spotlight is a Haunted Mansion “Doom Buggy” with an estimated value of $30,000 to $60,000. Another noteworthy item is a restored set of Tiki Birds from the Enchanted Tiki Room, which is expected to sell for $80,000 to $100,000. These are just a few examples of the incredible range of artifacts that will be available to the highest bidders.

The auction also features items from Walt Disney World, such as a Tower of Terror (1994) Twilight Zone Bellhop Costume and an Original Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Sign. The inclusion of these pieces ensures that Disney enthusiasts from both coasts can participate in this extraordinary event.

Walt Disney’s vision and creativity revolutionized the entertainment industry, and his legacy continues to inspire millions of people around the world. The Joel Magee Disneyland Collection auction is a fitting tribute to Walt Disney, Disneyland, and the enduring magic that has brought joy to generations of visitors. Whether you’re a serious collector or simply a fan of Disney, don’t miss the chance to be a part of this historic event.
