Q: There have been many rides that are no longer in some of the Disney parks, such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, the cable cars, etc. Are there any plans one day to display them in a museum somewhere in one of the parks? I think it’s important for people to see them close up and the evolution of the rides that started the Disney parks long ago.

A: The Walt Disney Archives has a collection of ride vehicles and show elements from various removed park attractions. Some have already been shown at D23 Expos and at the current Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum.
