Little known fact: Walt Disney and Ronald Reagan were homies. Both, for instance, viewed life through rose-colored glasses (or at least provided rose-colored glasses for the rest of the world to look through) and both had a special place in their hearts for California.
To commemorate their bromance and everything it represented, the Official Walt Disney Fan Club has put together an exhibit of Disney memorabilia at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The exhibit has more than 500 artifacts and is the biggest ever curated by the Walt Disney Archives, so if you count yourself among the Mickey-crazed, you should head over to see it--you have until April 2013 to check it out.
In the meantime, we got a hold of some photos of a few of the items on display.
