Disney Theme Park Items Sell for Crazy Prices

The D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is Disney’s major fan convention, held every two years in Anaheim, California. The event featured exclusive presentations from the company, behind-the-scenes experiences, entertainment, and announcements across the company’s many brands. You can read more about our full coverage, including new theme park announcements, at D23.

This year’s event featured an auction from Disney Experiences. The Disney Experiences Auction- Rare and Remarkable Finds was hosted by Bret Iwan (official voice of Mickey Mouse, Disney Fine Artist), and guests took part in live and online bidding of verified pieces from Disney’s theme parks and resorts.

The auction featured items from beloved theme park attractions that have since closed, including the original Disney California Adventure version of the Tower of Terror, which was transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, and Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which recently closed to make way for the upcoming Monsters, Inc. land. Also featured were Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride vehicles, likely leftover from the major refurbishment at Disney World, which replaced the track and the ride vehicles.

Let’s get into the final sale prices for the most popular items from the auction, with some selling for over $100,000!
