Although we love taking part in the magic in the Disney Parks, it’s an absolute blast to go behind-the-scenes of our favorite entertainment.

And, another famous spot will be bringing guests backstage from Disney’s popular productions through next year!

According to D23, the exhibition  Inside the Walt Disney Archives will be stopping at the Graceland Exhibition Center beginning on July 23rd, 2021. While it previously stopped at the D23 Expo Japan in 2018 before heading to the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, the 10,000-square-foot exhibition in Graceland also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Walt Disney Archives with more than 450 objects of artwork, costumes, and props.
