Overview
- The Walt Disney Archives debuted Walt Disney Archives: Uncrated in Hall D at the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday, presenting more than 200 objects in the largest Archives display ever shown at D23.
- The exhibition is laid out as a warehouse recreation with four themed zones—Delivery, Receiving & Processing, Object Storage, and Magical Containment—that group props, costumes, puppets, and attraction artifacts by provenance and genre.
- Archives staff run a live uncrating program four times daily at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7 p.m., and some sessions let fans help choose which mystery box is opened next.
- On‑site coverage and photos confirmed key artifacts on display, including Muppet pieces (Rizzo’s Mickey suit and Miss Piggy’s Statue of Liberty garb), the Ark from The Great Movie Ride, Tron and Flubber props, and costumes from Hannah Montana and High School Musical.
- Led by Archives director Becky Cline, the temporary D23 installation answers frequent fan questions about where items are stored and offers a rare behind‑the‑scenes look at a 50‑plus‑year collection that may shape future public programming.
