Being a Disney-loving family, it’s no surprise that we were thrilled to learn about Disney100 The exhibition. Our visit exceeded expectations from the moment we stepped inside, greeted by an enchanting atmosphere akin to the start of a Disney movie—filled with magic and mesmerizing projections.
Embark on a magical journey spanning a century of Disney wonders across ten creatively themed galleries. Encounter iconic artifacts like Mary Poppins’ carousel horse, Cinderella’s glass slipper from the 2015 live-action film, and glimpses of Disneyland’s fantastic rides.
Disney 100 is a must-visit for enthusiasts of all ages, with interactive features that captivate younger hearts. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed immersing herself in the interactive elements, especially the enchanted Sleeping Beauty book and interactive treasure chests inspired by beloved Disney films like Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Our visit had several highlights. I adored listening to the smash hit from Encanto, ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno,’ in different languages — the song remains fantastic no matter the language. Additionally, spending quality time with my daughter and introducing her to the Disney shows and movies I cherished growing up was truly delightful. She’s now excited to watch High School Musical after our visit.
While suitable for the entire family, the nostalgia-laden experience truly resonates with older visitors, adding to the enchantment and ensuring a truly memorable time.
Is the price justified? Tickets begin at £20 and increase based on your preferences. As a devoted Disney enthusiast, I can affirm that it’s indeed worth the cost. Personally, I’ve always been fascinated by the inner workings of Disney, and having the chance to view original artwork, costumes, and props was truly fantastic, making the expense worthwhile.
Additionally, it’s noteworthy that children under 5 can enter for free. For potential discounts, new users of the Fever app typically enjoy a £5 reduction (usually sent by email when you sign up), so be sure to purchase your tickets through the app for added savings.
