Snow White Adventures - Disney Gallery Poster
The Disney Gallery is an art exhibition space at the Disneyland theme park. From 1987-2007, it was situated above Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square. It was a great place to escape the noise and crowds, plus see original artwork created by Walt Disney Imagineering.
This poster was created for an exhibit in the late 1980s and features 1954 concept art for Snow White Adventures by Ken Anderson. It depicts the climatic boulder scene with the Old Hag. Measures 32" x 26".

Animation Gallery 'Snow White' Exhibit Banner
This banner hung at the entrance to The Art of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs exhibit which ran, as far as I can tell, from approximately 2009 to 2012. It was located in two rooms of the Animation Gallery, Hollywood Studios, Walt Disney World.
A video posted in August 2009 by MouseSteps/JWL Media shows the exhibit in its entirety. Music from the film's soundtrack plays in the background and adds to the ambiance of the gallery.
A few screen captures from the video reveal some of the artwork that was on display.

2015 Disneyland Cast Member Canoe Races Poster
The Disneyland Canoe Races started back in 1963 as a friendly wager between cast members from the Indian War Canoes and the Jungles Cruise. The bet was to see who could paddle fastest around the Rivers of America. The race took place before the park opened to guests. The idea caught on and the tradition continues to this day--not just in Anaheim, but at the other Disney theme parks as well.
The Seven Dwarfs were featured on a cast member commemorative poster for the 52nd annual Disneyland event in 2015. It measures 12" x 15". Not available to the general public.

'World of Disney' Store Banners
On a visit to Walt Disney World this past May, I snapped these photos of the princess banners on display in the World of Disney store at Downtown Disney.
Just a few years ago, this same upper wall area was covered with several larger banners featuring a few of the prince and princess couples together. Snow White was one of them.
These larger banners were replaced with the narrower solo portraits, which has allowed space for more of the princess characters to be included.

On May 27th, just one day before the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train "officially" opened to the public, the Disney Parks Blog was giving away a poster celebrating the new WDW attraction. The prize was free to the first 100 people who sent in an email with a “Celebrating Seven Dwarfs Mine Train” greeting of no more than 50 characters.

Charles Boyer Snow White Poster (50th Anniversary - 1987)
A 1987 Golden Anniversary commemorative poster was created by Disneyland master illustrator Charles Boyer. A limited edition, the 20" x 30" print was available for purchase in the park. It features a little girl looking into a mirror and seeing the reflection of Snow White and three of the dwarfs.
The Snow White in the poster was the actual cast member at that time who played the princess in the park, and she posed for the painting. In addition, Boyer mentions in the Summer 1987 Disneyana Collector newsletter, that the little girl model is his own grandchild.
For one day only on July 17th, the date of the 1987 theatrical re-release, these posters were given away free to Disneyland guests as they exited the park. The cast members at the gate would ask if you were coming back inside. If you said yes, you didn't get one. If you said no, they gave you a poster.
As mentioned in the earlier post, just outside the gate, the Disneyland Post Office had set up a temporary booth where they were cancelling postage with a commemorative Snow White rubber stamp. Snow White enthusiast Barbara of Harborhousee55 took her free poster over and got it stamped.
Printed at the bottom of the poster are these words...
A similar poster was also made available to Disneyland cast members. The only difference was in the footer text.
Disney Legend recipient Charles Boyer started his career at Disney in 1960 by accepting a "temporary" job at the theme park. He was Disneyland's very first full-time artist and ended up staying for 39 years.
