This self guided walk through exhibit is often overlooked by visitors to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Personally it is one of my favorites because of it’s history and meaning. Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream is a gallery of authentic rare artifacts and finishes with an inspiring 15-minute film narrated by Julie Andrews, the voice of Mary Poppins, which brings the story of Walt Disney to life. This exhibit was created and opened in 2001 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney’s birth.
The exhibit features over 400 artifacts, scripts, photos, and props from the Disney vault. Such things including: The school desk from Walt Disney’s 2-nd grade class…
Walt Disney’s actual office from Walt Disney Studios, Burbank, CA. location 1940-1966…
The original Audio-Animatronics Abraham Lincoln figure from the 1964 New York World’s Fair…
Next time you find yourself at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and you are looking for some Disney history, be sure to stop by Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream, located in the concourse near the Toy Story Midway Mania ride.
