The exhibit does not have an end date but Disney Gallery exhibits usually last about 6 months. Most of the merchandise is “open edition” so they aren’t extremely limited but Disney does not typically re-stock these kind of collectors items regularly.

  • Great photos Guy! Have all the exhibits formerly in the Opera House lobby — like the Disneyland opening day model — been removed?
