Disneyland Resort

The Disneyland Resort is an entertainment resort in Anaheim, California, and is home to two theme parks, three hotels, and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining, and entertainment district. Originally developed by Walt Disney in the 1950s, the property consisted of Disneyland, its 100-acre (40 ha) parking lot, and the Disneyland Hotel. After the success with the multi-park, multi-hotel business model at Walt Disney World in Florida, Disney acquired large parcels of land adjacent to Disneyland to apply the same approach in Anaheim. Disney purchased the Disneyland Hotel from Walt's business partner Jack Wrather in 1988, and in 1995 purchased the Pan Pacific Hotel from the Tokyu Group to become today's Pixar Place Hotel. Land purchases continued through the 1990s and the company now owns 489 acres (198 ha) and has long-term lease rights to develop an additional 52 acres (21 ha). A major expansion came in 2001 when the property saw the addition of the Grand Californian Hotel, the second theme park, and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining, and entertainment district.

Hidden Mickey Found	I recently found out that the address to Disneyland is 1313 S. Harbor Blvd. The 13th letter of the alphabet is "M"...leading one to belive that the address stands for the parks most famous resident's initials...M M. I called the City of Anaheim planning and Zoning Dept. and they assured me it was only coincidence ... UPDATE: As of 2023, the address of Disneyland is:  1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA  92802

Decor	Throughout the area of the ticket sales booths there are a number of benches available to sit on. Every one of them has a Hidden Mickey for the end of the bench, rotated to one side. The legs of the bench are the large circle and one of the smaller ones, the other smaller circle points straight up to anchor the back of the bench. DECOR: I had to make a comment about the hidden Mickey sighting that is number nine on the general sightings list. The mickeys that are the bench legs in the ticket area are decor...they are easily visible due to the fact that there are about 15 benches with this on them and the Mickey's are about two feet tall.

Hidden Mickey Found	We found one in the concrete swirls in the Mickey & Friends parking structure.  It is large with the "head" circle being almost two feet in diameter.  Thousands of folks just walk over it, never looking down.  It is on the 2nd floor between 2A and the walkway.  It is just outside of the stall, so even when a car is there, it remains visible.
