After arriving on the historic campus and sitting down in the beautiful Walt Disney Studios Main Theatre, guests enjoyed a presentation by Disney historian Jim Fanning, who shared rare, behind-the-scenes photography and artwork that revealed the inside story of the musical fantasy’s decade-long development.

As a special gift, each guest received an exclusive pin of the famous Star of Astoroth—which features the five mystic words of Substitutiary Locomotion. Guests were also able to marvel at items from the film, curated by the Walt Disney Archives.
