Walt Disney's Apartment at Disneyland

On Thursday August 22, 2019, I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting Walt Disney's apartment located above the Firehouse in Disneyland. This had been on my wishlist for a long time and I was extremely grateful to have the chance to finally get a tour. Many of the photos below are not my own but I have used them to capture my personal memories.

The Guest Relations Tour Guide met us outside the Firehouse and took us backstage and up the stairs to the apartment. 

You enter into a small corridor before seeing the main living space. 

The apartment is very small but incredibly elegant. The decoration is the same as it was when Walt and Lilly used it. The sofa's situated to the left and right of the room were used as beds. 

An image of Walt, Lilly and their grandchildren enjoying the room. 

Turning around and facing the exit, you see a small kitchenette.

The tour guide opened the cupboards to show us the original glasses, plates, pans etc all in place. There was a toaster and grilled cheese maker as well.

 Cups and a jar bearing the name, 'Tom and Jerry' which was the name of a drink Walt enjoyed. 

Towards the back of the apartment, past a victorian music player, is a small vanity room and bathroom. 

I didn't get to see this in person, but just opposite the door to the bathroom is a small balcony. 

This famous lamp sits next to the window for Cast Members and Guests to see on Main Street. Since Walt Disney passed away, this lamp has always remained lit. 

I will always remember this amazing experience.

It was an incredible feeling to be in this personal space of Walt and Lillian Disney. 


I found this layout of the apartment online. I great way to remember how the apartment is set up.
