Catalogers are still reviewing the lots so descriptions and details may be updated, but here are some of the most interesting pieces.
The Disney Experiences Auction
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Customized Train Benches
There are two different listings for former Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction vehicles-turned-benches. These were removed during the recent Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment, replaced by new vehicles. Cars 502 and 105 have been cut apart and made into furniture. Car 105 retains its original look with some polished edges.
Car 502, on the other hand, was heavily modified. A faux track is underneath the vehicle, a Cinderella Castle icon is on the front, and round replica boiler plates featuring the Big Thunder Iron Works logo are mounted to the sides. It seems the cushions were replaced as well.
Tower of Terror Props
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure became Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! several years ago. But some of the attraction’s props have been stored by Disney all of these years, just to be sold.
The chair is one of two that were seen on the ride in a long corridor where ghosts appeared. The table is from the library pre-show room. It has a permanently attached tablecloth.
Last but not least is a pair of faux stained-glass lamppost decorations that used to hang near the Tower of Terror during Halloween.
Muppet*Vision 3D Props
Muppet*Vision 3D was the last great work of Jim Henson and was taken from guests in June 2025. The faux marble Miss Piggy and Kermit figures once adorned the show’s theater. Kermit lounged above the theater doors.
Miss Piggy “held up” the ceiling on either side of the stage.
Plus, there’s a wooden 3-D glasses crate. This is where guests would pick up their glasses in the pre-show area before entering the theater.
The Haunted Mansion Props
From The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, this glass side is “phase 4” of the transforming Medusa portrait.
This two-piece sarcophagus was once used in the ride’s graveyard scene.
From Haunted Mansion Holiday is this large jack-in-the-box skull. It would have popped out of a gift box in the attic scene.
Disney Trash Cans
Two retired trash cans are up for auction. Straight out of Tomorrowland is a can featuring the Tomorrowland “T” logo on two sides.
From Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World is a green trash can featuring the resort logo.
Other props in the auction include vehicles from King Triton’s Carousel of the Sea and its replacement Jessie’s Critter Carousel, a mummy from Indiana Jones Adventure, an old Spaceship Earth sign, a Vinylmation sign made of Vinylmations, and various park anniversary signs.
