Online bidding is open for 50 verified pieces from Disney parks and resorts before the Disney Experiences Auction's live session at D23 on Sunday, August 16.

Every lot opened at $1 without reserve. Winning bids carry a 22 percent buyer's premium, with a $29 minimum per lot. The floor session begins at 5:30 p.m. Pacific at the Anaheim Convention Center, and online bidding will continue through Heritage Live.

The final catalog includes a purple sea lion ride vehicle from King Triton's Carousel at Disney California Adventure. The 60-pound fiberglass figure carried guests from the park's 2001 opening through March 2018, before the carousel became Jessie's Critter Carousel.

Other lots include a 72-inch Spaceship Earth exit sign from EPCOT, an Indiana Jones Adventure mummy and a changing-portrait Medusa slide from Haunted Mansion. A Mad T Party armchair and footstool, DisneyFest sign and giant Disney Store ceremonial Magic Key are also in the sale.

The 50-lot lineup retains the park-used Big Thunder Mountain vehicle section and Muppet*Vision 3D pieces detailed in CrowdLevels' July 14 catalog preview.

A D23 ticket is required to enter the auction room, and in-person access is not guaranteed. Registered bidders can participate online without attending the event. Heritage Auctions will follow this sale with a separate Disney Experiences auction of more than 1,500 lots from October 23 through 25.
