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.

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.
