Disney 50th Exhibit in Oakland

Snowflake · 07-02-2006, 10:20 AM

I know, I live under a rock, I am planning on going to this Disneyland 50th Exhibit when I get back.

Has anyone been? Any reports?

Went about a month ago. Liked it a lot. There are three separate sections so make sure you see them all. Allow at least a couple of hours.

Sounds nifty. I'd love to see it. (Is Lincoln active, or just on display motionless?)

This looks really cool, especially for those stuck so far outside the berm.

Seeing it the weekend of the 22nd. Ibelieve. I need to consult my event planner.

Saw it with Andrew. Was mostly pleased by it but it is extremely bland. As I said at MP it is a celebration, not an exploration that I would find more interesting. Though technically an independent production, it could easily have been designed by Disney's marketing department.

There will probably be almost nothing new learned for any moderately qualified Disney geek.

That said, there are quite a few things that are fun to see in person (including the original of the John Hench map) and it is worth a trip if you are in the area.

If you have time, go early in the day so that you have time to visit other parks of the Oakland Museum as well. We got there in the early afternoon and had only about 45 minutes afterwards for slowly wandering through one exhibit space.

Thanks for the info Snowflake. I might head over there this weekend.

Btw- I think the link to the website is broken.
