THIS year marks the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, with lots of attractions, rides, and exhibitions popping up across the globe to mark the special occasion. <\/p>\n

Which is how I found myself at Disney100: The Exhibition – a new attraction in London that celebrates 100 years of the Walt Disney Company. <\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

The new attraction, which opened to the public this morning<\/span>, is housed inside the ExCel in London. <\/p>\n

It spans a whopping 20,000 square feet and has 10 sprawling galleries packed full of original props and costumes from some of Disney's most iconic films. <\/p>\n

At the start of the Exhibition, visitors can snap<\/span> a photo in front of a giant green screen before making their way inside the first gallery.<\/p>\n

Straight away, my arms were covered in goosebumps as my eyes darted from one piece of memorabilia to the next<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Disney lovers, both old and new, will spend hours pouring over more than 250 rarely-seen artefacts, works of art, costumes, props, and other memorabilia. <\/p>\n

"Where Do the Stories Come From" is one of the very first galleries, and it has a range of real-life props from both the animated and live-action films. <\/p>\n

For example, there's the Crystalline glass slipper\u00a0from the live-action Cinderella and the storybook from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.<\/p>\n

Before the venue opened, Walt Disney<\/span> Archives director Becky Cline revealed that two of her favourite props were based on British stories. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

One of those was the snow<\/span> globe from Mary Poppins, while the other was the Carousel Dick Van Dyke rode in the same film<\/span>, and they're both found in this first gallery. <\/p>\n

Inside the "Illusion of Life"\u00a0gallery, visitors will be able to see original artwork from Cruella as well as the red dress Emma Stone wore in the same film<\/span>. <\/p>\n

One of my favourite galleries was "The Spirit of Adventure and Discovery"\u00a0because it had a range of superhero helmets from the Marvel films, Captain America's shield, as well as plenty of Star Wars props, including a BB-8 droid.<\/p>\n

If being enthralled by the movie props wasn't enough, there were also galleries that explained the advancements in filming technology, and the role of music in the films. <\/p>\n

Another highlight, for me, was the "Your Disney World: A Day in the Parks", which gave visitors a glimpse into the history<\/span> of Disney's iconic theme parks, including vehicles from some of the parks' most beloved rides.<\/p>\n

While all of the props are preserved inside glass cabinets, there are several photo opportunities to be had too. <\/p>\n

I snapped photos next<\/span> to a cardboard cutout of the fairy godmother from Cinderella, took a selfie with Mickey Mouse, and posed for a picture inside a Spinning tea cup.<\/p>\n

There were also lots of interactive features<\/span> in the exhibition too, including a quest for younger visitors as well as interactive screens and headphones that played music. <\/p>\n

The exhibition only goes in one direction, so visitors won't miss a thing either. <\/p>\n

At the end of the exhibition, visitors are led through a gift shop with bespoke merchandise on sale. <\/p>\n

In a previous article in Sun Online Travel, Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline said: "We are incredibly excited to bring this fantastic exhibition to London.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"We can\u2019t wait for guests in the UK to experience their favourite\u00a0Disney stories, characters, and attractions in new and immersive ways as we celebrate all the wonderful worlds of Disney.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While more than 80,000 tickets have already been sold for the exhibition, there's still plenty of time to visit. <\/p>\n

The exhibition will run until 2024, with ticket prices starting from \u00a316.<\/p>\n

The ExCel Centre is just 12 minutes from Central London on the\u00a0Elizabeth Line, and can be reached on the DLR too. <\/p>\n
