Disneyland is a very magical place that opened in 1955. It isn’t just home to Mickey Mouse and his friends; it is home to some hidden spots that the public rarely sees. Millions have walked the streets of Disneyland, but they have never walked on these sacred spots.
Lilly Belle
The creator of Disneyland Walter Disney, loved trains. The Lilly Belle is one of the park’s most historic train cars. The rain car has been on the train tracks since Disneyland opened in 1955. The Lilly Belle was named after Walt’s wife Lillian. It still carries VIPs across the park, but they try to keep access restricted because it is a historic piece of the park.

The Disney Dream suite was designed by Walt Disney himself and is a two-bedroom luxurious suite located above The Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Walt planned very inch of the suite, but died before it was completed. Disneyland honored Walt by finishing the suite and bringing all of his ideas to life. There is even a special switch that you can flip and the lights change color along and music starts to play.

The hidden apartment located about the fire department on Main Street USA was Walt’s home away from home. The apartment was created in 1955 so he could oversee all of the construction of the park. The apartment has barely been touched since the park was completed. The Victorian details remain along with family photos on the wall and the Regina Music Box. Even though no one really goes to the apartment, a light remains on in the window as a symbol of Walt.
