It might be hard to believe,
but over the years, Disney theme parks have produced a number of souvenirs for
visitors to take home. And some of those were souvenir buildings. One of the
best, in my opinion, is the large metal 3D replica of the Cinderella Castle,
which were produced and awarded to Disney Cast Members (employees) for a
certain length of service.
I’ve seen at least 3
different versions of the Cinderella Castle awards with flat backs. Bases are sometimes different and one
castle seems to be from Disneyland in California and the other from Disney
World in Florida.
There is also a metal
set of salt and pepper shakers of the Cinderella Castle.
A nicely made pewter replica
of Spaceship Earth Geosphere at Disney’s Epcot Center sports a Mickey Mouse
figure atop and a metal replica of the MGM studios water tower which features
mouse ears.
Another larger Spaceship
with the Monorail is a child’s play set.
Two ceramic coin banks – one
is a replica of the Hotel Disneyland and the other is the Emporium on Main
Street USA.
Resin replica of Space Mountain,
an indoor outer space-themed roller coaster in the Magic Kingdom theme park at
Walt Disney World.
A resin replica of the
Walt Disney Feature Animation Studio building
Two different replicas, one
resin and one pewter, of a temple ride from the Indiana Jones movie at
Disneyland.
This last one is a building
at a Disney theme park, but is related: The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed
by architect Frank Gehry in downtown Los Angeles, Califorina.
Can you think of other Walt
Disney related souvenir buildings?
I collect 3D metal souvenir building replica of architecture from around
the world. If you have any to sell or trade, contact me via my email address in
