Celebrate the 70th Anniversary of “The Happiest Place on Earth” with a replica figurine of Walt Disney, the man who dreamed up Disneyland and made it a reality. Seven decades after Disneyland’s grand opening in 1955, this sculpture reminds us of Walt Disney’s legacy of creativity, which continues to captivate, entertain and inspire the young at heart the world over.
This collectible keepsake depicts Walt Disney sitting on his desk and plays an audio track of his voice delivering Disneyland’s dedication speech:
”To all who come to this happy place: welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”
The sculpture depicts Walt Disney’s desk from his office at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA with books and maps on the desk. The figurine is also part of the Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary Nostalgia Collection and depicts Walt in a similar pose as guests will see him in “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” which opened today in the Main Street Opera House at Disneyland featuring the first-ever Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic figure.
The figurine comes boxed and can be purchased online at DisneyStore.com or at the Disneyland Resort for $169.00*. Guests will find the figurine at Disneyana at Disneyland Park, Off the Page at Disney California Adventure Park and WonderGround Gallery at Downtown Disney.
