It would also be interesting if they included something from the planned-but-never-executed Snow Queen stage show at TDS with music by Alan Menken, though I suppose they didn't produce much gallery-worthy artwork before cancelling the show

I was thinking that too, but I wonder how much artwork there is to show. Since it's showcase for Marc Davis' works and stuff from Frozen I'm going to assume that there won't be any detailed models or schematics of the Snow Queen ride on display. By the way, where was this ride supposed to be built?

They were also planning a Mary Poppins dark ride around that time, I believe
