Looks pretty cool! Thank you for sharing with us. Is this exhibit going to be doing any more traveling? It would take some money - but this could be an awesome touring exhibit that could hit all the big museums.  It would probably end up being a money maker for Disney.

I would love to see this...but I live on the other side of the country.  It'd be great if it was a traveling exhibit.  Very neat to see some of the "artifacts"!  Thanks for sharing!

Have they removed the "No Photography" policy?   I saw it during its opening weekend at the Henry Ford Museum and Photography was strictly prohibited.  Which made the attraction vehicles that you could sit in to make not much sense in the end...

Too bad it's so expensive!!

"Dearborn Village?"

Is it possible you're referring to Greenfield Village, maybe?  Or the complex as a whole, which I believe is now called "The Henry Ford" for who knows what reason?

It might be because I'm young, but I've been in Michigan for all of my life and don't recall hearing the attraction called by that particular name before.  :)

Great job as always, Roger. I can't wait to get up to the Bay Area to see the exhibit!

I also had the opportunity to attend the event Saturday night. I was disappointed that they wouldn't let me take any pictures.

The exhibit is fabulous - my wife and I missed the entire appetizer and cocktail time cruising the exhibit. Even got an opportunity to speak at length with a reporter from the Oakland Tribune and she mentioned us in the article!

There are some fabulous pieces on display. I loved the model of the original Adventureland/Jungle Cruise Boat House from 1954! What a treat to see.

My only disappointment is that the exhibit is so large that it is broken up into three sections and spread around the museum. I will definitely be back a few times before it departs in August.

Couple of points... First, the admission price for Saturday is in addition to the regular museum admission of $8 for Adults and $5 for Children, and still a great bargain.

Second, the press was allowed limited photography of the exhibition, and alas, there will be no public photography allowed.

Look for more details and good stories in part two next week!

I actually live within biking distance from this exhibit so should be going soon. I'm excited. Though less excited than when i thought i could go on sat for $1.
