The Henry Ford Reschedules Opening Day of Disneyland Exhibit; Public Opening Now Scheduled for Friday, September 30

DEARBORN, Mich.--Sept. 21, 2005--Opening day for the exhibition Behind the Magic: 50 Years of Disneyland at Henry Ford Museum has been rescheduled for Friday, September 30.

An unanticipated obstacle has arisen in the mounting of this exhibition.

Tickets purchased for time slots prior to September 30 will be honored throughout the run of the exhibit. Timed tickets at $10 for adults and $6 for kids 5-12 are on sale now and can be purchased at www.TheHenryFord.org or by calling 313-982-6001. Kids 4 and under are free. General museum admission is also required.

The Henry Ford is collaborating with Walt Disney Imagineering, to create this unprecedented exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of Disneyland - Disney's original theme park. Behind the Magic: 50 Years of Disneyland(R), is the first exhibition of Walt Disney Imagineering art and artifacts focused on Disneyland to be widely displayed in the United States.

Included in the 7,500-square foot display are 250 pieces of original Imagineering artwork, hand-crafted models, construction drawings, and marketing materials tracing the growth and history of the California landmark. Visitors will have the special opportunity to view--and, in some cases, interact with--more than 40 three-dimensional artifacts, among them figures from "it's a small world(R)," unique original arcade games from the "Pirates of the Caribbean(R)" attraction, and the Model T-like vehicle used in "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride(R)."
