The Story of Disneyland Auction

This is a re-blog written by our friend Inthia over at This Little Disney Life about the recent (and, unfortunately, now closed) “Story of Disneyland” exhibition and sale at the Van Eaton gallery in Sherman Oaks, CA.  Here’s a slide show of the photos we took when we went to visit the gallery last week:

Can you believe this stuff all went for just under $2 Million!? Did you get over to see the exhibit?  Let us know in the comments below!

Today is the last day to set your eyes on one of the most amazing Disneyland memorabilia collections that is completely up for auction at Van Eaton Gallery in Sherman Oaks, Ca. If you’re out of the area, they have a wonderful online catalog for your viewing pleasure.

We made the short drive over to check out the exhibit last week and it did not disappoint. Well, only in that I can’t afford a thing there. Well, I could but then I wouldn’t be able to pay rent or eat or anything trivial like that.

The galley is held in two room but it packed wall to wall with all sorts of artifacts. Costumes, signs, furniture,  concession containers, souvenirs, models and more! All of them amazingly displayed for my up-close and personal viewing.

I picked out a few awesome favorites to share here but there is soooo much. I know I’ll be hitting up some flea markets and eBay this summer.

Cheers!

Disneyana: Shag

Adding to our list of Disneyana here at Remain Seated Please, I wanted to share this piece my wife and I just got from Disneyland.  Online, it looks like this piece is pretty old but I absolutely love it!

Our Shag as it appears in our home!

This piece shows Shag’s take on New Orleans Square.  It depicts a family between Pirates and Mansion with the father taking a photo.  This picture, minus the kid, basically is my wife and I at the parks!  I love Shag’s 60s style, I love that it has a 60s take on the Mansion, and I love how the characters look so enamored with the park.  I can only hope my kid is as cool as this one some day.

Do you have a favorite Shag piece?  Let us know in the comments below!

Shag!

Disneyland Custodial Artwork

This was one of the coolest things I have seen at the park.  A quick google search will show that the custodial team at TDA has been at this for a while, but with as much time as I have spent at the parks I have never seen this!

We had just finished out Fantasmic! 20th anniversary showing, had already ridden on Big Thunder Mountain and were headed to Pirates… when we saw a few people admiring something on the ground.  We saw some water on the ground and as our eyes adjusted to the ground in front of Riverbell Terrace, we realized that it was artwork!

Here are some pictures we snapped of a few of the characters drawn on the ground and to boot, I caught some video of the cast member drawing a huge Mickey Mouse in front of Pirates!  Enjoy!
