One of the best things about the Opera House is that it not only holds the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction inside, which is one of our very favorites attractions at Disneyland, but it also is a bit of mini-Disneyland museum, with oodles of old Disneyland, and Walt Disney, paraphernalia. So not only do you get to get see a great show about one of America's greatest presidents, but you also get to learn a lot about the history of Disneyland as well! You just can't beat that!
So we're including some of our favorite photos from around the Opera House today. The next time you're at Disneyland, if you haven't already, or heck even if you have already, take a look around inside for yourselves, and let us know what you like about the Disneyland Opera House.

We LOVE this diorama of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle
There's always loads of Disneyland history and memorabilia to see here
Early Disneyland ticket books - Yes, once upon a time you needed TICKETS to ride all of the attractions

What great pictures! It's so interesting to have all the memorabilia on display in the park. I would love to see Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln again. I saw it at the World's Fair in NY (I am THAT old;) and was blown away by it...along with everyone else!
I adore the Disneyland Story in the Opera House, and I especially love that they retained the 50th anniversary movie with Steve Martin and play it in the lobby. :) I have a confession though, Mr. Lincoln makes me fall asleep almost every time... :D Thanks for an awesome post! :)
Pretty pictures!
YES! This is now on my list for January!!!
What a beautiful building...and so full of interesting things. Nice photos.
Thanks Deb :)
You're only as old as you allow yourself to think you are. I think I might be turning five next year ;)
Thanks Alyssa!
Falling asleep in Mr. Lincoln should be a crime, though! Where's your patriotic fervor for the greatest president of all time? ;)
PS. We love the Steve Martin movie too =D
Thanks Jenn :)
Glad we could give you something else to do in January, :DIS! We need to meet up and say "hi" if you're coming this way :)
Thanks Lucinda :)
It's an amazing building with many awesome finds and Disneyland history inside. One of our favorite places to hang out and we find ourselves in there very frequently :)
Absolutely! I'll be in for the Tinker Bell. Will you be around that weekend?!
