The Behind-the-Scenes Experience offers D23 Gold Members the opportunity to visit unique places where the magic of Disney flourishes. Kicking off 2016, you’ll be part of the first D23 group to enjoy a private tour of Walt Disney’s newly restored 3H office suite, filled with original furnishings, awards, and items from his personal collection—all curated by the Walt Disney Archives.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the Archives’ efforts to digitize its vast collection of photography during an exclusive presentation by Disney Photo Library archivists. During the discussion, you’ll see the team’s latest discoveries and learn more about the challenges and importance of preserving the collection of more than 4 million historical images!

This one-of-a-kind event will also include an exclusive gift created just for you, as well as time to shop at the Disney Studio Store.

The experience will conclude with a three-course meal at a classic eatery that was of special importance to Walt Disney: the Tam O’Shanter. This iconic restaurant was a favorite destination for Walt and his staff, who often referred to it as the Studio Commissary when the company was located on nearby Hyperion Avenue. Guests will need to provide their own transportation from the Walt Disney Studios lot to the Tam O’Shanter; complimentary valet parking will be provided at the restaurant.

We are very excited to host you as some of the first guests inside Walt Disney’s office suite. As previously announced, there will be additional opportunities to tour office suite 3H, including D23 Days at The Walt Disney Studios and Archives! Be sure to keep an eye on D23.com for updates and announcements.
