Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years is an exhibit about the history of Disneyland. It is located on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Opera House, which since 1965 had housed Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. In the lobby are displays featuring models, photos, concept art and sculptures associated with many Disneyland attractions. There is also a scale model of Disneyland as it appeared in the summer of the opening year 1955.

The second portion of the attraction is a movie which is shown in the Opera House's theater. It features Steve Martin, who once worked at the Magic Shop on Main Street, and Donald Duck. The movie is a 17 minute long humorous look at how Disneyland has changed throughout the years. After exiting the theater guests walk through the Disney Gallery, which includes many original paintings which adhere to a Disney theme. The Disney Gallery was moved to the exit lobby of the Opera House to make way for the Disneyland Dream Suite above Pirates of the Caribbean.

This attraction premiered on May 5, 2005, and is playing a temporary but indefinite run. It is unknown when Mr. Lincoln will return to Main Street, U.S.A.
