A colorful display of Disney park memorabilia—including a vintage poster, collectible pins, themed shirt, Epcot shopping bag, Star Tours artwork, and the iconic D23 Expo 2017 sign—celebrates unforgettable moments from Disney parks history and the beloved Through the Years collection.

Guests attending the upcoming D23 Expo 2017 have some special merchandise to look forward to, in addition to an exciting lineup of panels and events.

The specially curated “Through the Years” collection at the Disney Dream Store celebrates key milestones in Disney park history, including the 50th anniversary of Pirates of the Caribbean, the 40th anniversary of Space Mountain, the 35th anniversary of Epcot, and the 30th anniversary of Star Tours.

Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain vintage Disneyland posters, featured side by side in the Through the Years collection, showcase legendary attractions that have defined Disney park adventures for generations.

The Pirates of the Caribbean poster draws inspiration from drive-in movie posters and ads from the 1960s. The Space Mountain design mixes vintage travel posters from the 1920s with 1970s futurism.

1980s arcade game packaging and VHS covers inspired the Epcot poster design, while a minimalist collage is the focus of Star Tours.

Guests stopping by the Disney Dream Store will also find a collection of apparel, ornaments, drinkware, and more.
