Exclusive look at the Walt Disney Company archives

As the Disneyland Resort celebrates 70 years of magic, we are getting a rare look behind the scenes. From the very first ticket to old cast member costumes, Eyewitness News was given exclusive access to the Walt Disney Company archives.

Since its founding on June 22, 1970, 55 years ago, the Walt Disney Archives have been collecting, preserving and showcasing the magic of Disney. To celebrate the Archive's anniversary, Disney has released a special new video.

Follow along as a special artifact takes viewers on a journey into the Walt Disney Archives in "A Daring Journey into the Walt Disney Archives."

Earlier this year, Eyewitness News was given exclusive access to the Archives, shown in the video player above.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
