Photos/Video: Step Back in Time at the Disney+ Throwback Experience

The pop-up experience this weekend only!

Over on Los Angeles’ iconic Melrose Avenue, Disney+ has taken over for a throwback celebration of iconic Disney films and TV shows from the 1990s and 2000s.

Tonight, June 11th, Laughing Place had the early opportunity to check out the new Disney+ Throwback Experience pop-up!

Taking over the Rock Etiquette store at 7550 Melrose Ave, the Disney+ Throwback experience features several themed window displays, giving passersby a chance to see what awaits them inside the pop-up.

Walking into the lobby, you’ll find a maximalist design of Y2K aesthetics, with posters, props, and decorations. Keep an eye out for items with pink tags, as those are actual costumes and props used in the filming of these fan-favorite projects.
