Just like in 2011, the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives was the most spacious and least crowded exhibit to visit, although again we did it right after it opened at 10 a.m. We enjoyed seeing the items on display, although I did not like the thick carpeting they used in this area, as it made it harder to push Mik's wheelchair around.
The items on display this time included some props from the new Disney Channel movie, Teen Beach Movie, and from the Once Upon a Time show.
The most interesting area was probably the Oz props. It is was not about the recent Oz movie, although it may have had stuff from it, but rather it was about older Disney Oz projects including how Walt Disney tried to get the rights from MGM and concepts for Oz project such as having Oz in the Storybookland Canal Boats scenery. There was also stuff from the 1980s Return to Oz movie.
Of course, my favorite part of the exhibit was the Mary Poppins props, photos, and fan art. This area had costumes and props from the movie including Mary's carpetbag and a carousel horse. I think my favorite was the storyboard for the Jolly Holiday sequence. There was also some interesting photos from the set when they were making the movie. The last part featured fan art from a contest in honor of the 50th anniversary of the movie.
