The tradition of using animated window figures on Main Street started at Disneyland in the 1960s. These window "books" give a little history...




This Disneyland Emporium diorama has been on exhibit since the 50th anniversary of the park in 2005. It features the original figures that were used years ago in early window displays. Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio and Peter Pan are represented here...
