First Look Photo and Video of Disneyland's Upcoming Attraction Featuring Animatronic Walt Disney
Disney has released a first look at a new attraction coming to Disneyland park that will be a show akin to “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln,” but this one will feature Walt Disney himself, and the animatronic they created is pretty incredible.
The show utilizes archival voice recordings to have Walt tell his story to guests in his own words. The figure itself is modeled after how Walt Disney would’ve appeared in 1963. This time in his life was chosen due to the many exciting projects he had in development at that point, including “Mary Poppins,” the 1964 New York World’s Fair, and planning for Walt Disney World and EPCOT.
The new show will open to all guests later this week, on Thursday, July 17 — the 70th anniversary date for Disneyland. It was first announced at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2024 and was previously scheduled to open on May 16, but was delayed by two months.
Check out the clip below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing the attraction in person on your next visit to Disneyland.
