Small World doll, Mansion portrait going up for auction

LOS ANGELES (AP) - An animatronic doll from Disneyland's It's a Small World ride and an original "stretching portrait" from the park's Haunted Mansion attraction are hitting the auction block.

Van Eaton Galleries announced Wednesday that the items will be among myriad pieces of Disney memorabilia available at the "Souvenirs of Disneyland" auction next month. Other lots include an animatronic sparrow from the Enchanted Tiki Room and original concept art for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

I'd LOVE to have either one of those items. But, I'd have to sell my house before I could afford them. I was lucky enough to snag a Disneyland park bench several years ago. It's brought me lots of joy.

 

I content myself with just buying the Auction Catalogs. I don't seem to be able to afford the actual items. Plus, the souvenir type items that I do own that get auctioned, seem to go way above what I think is reasonable. But the catalogs are nice resources.

 

I'd love an animatronic Small World doll, but I don't know where I'd put it. I wonder what happened to that little Hawaiian boy on the surfboard who got Liloed out. He was one of my favorites.

 

Me too! I was so bummed when they decided to take him out.

 

I know, right? It's a Small World is tainted.
