When entering Disneyland, before stepping onto Main Street, visitors pass several buildings. What many don't know is that one of Walt Disney's apartments was located above the fire department inside Disneyland. Disney wanted to keep a close eye on the constructions of Disneyland while it was being built, and since his hometown was far away from Anaheim, he spent many nights there.The apartment was designed with to look like a firehouse and included a kitchen, a bathroom, and a back patio area. Disney watched from the window in his apartment on opening day of Disneyland with his family. There are many pictures of the inside of the apartment, however, only one picture of Walt Disney inside of it.
Although, Disney did relocate to a new apartment above the Pirates of the Carribean ride later on, which was said to be his favorite ride, most of the original furniture remains inside the first apartment. At night, the Disneyland staff keeps the desk lamp on by the window in memoriam to Walt.
