Look who has decorated for the holidays. Christmas tree and all! We all know Walt Disney’s apartment will normally have a lit antique lamp in its window overlooking Disneyland’s Town Square. It is a tribute to the man and his dream, and it signifies that his spirit remains in his beloved park. Folklore has it that the only time the lamp’s light would be extinguished would be if Lillian or one of Walt’s daughters was visiting Disneyland Resort.
As this park transforms into a twinkling and sparkling winter wonderland, Walt’s apartment is not overlooked.
Walt Disney’s Christmas Tree!

| The Hook and Ladder Company performs Christmas ditties outside Walt’s window. I bet he’s listening!! |
We can feel it; Walt Disney walks here; most especially during #DisneyHolidays.
Need more history? The Disney Parks Blog takes you on a virtual tour of Walt Disney’s apartment HERE.
That is SO COOL that they replace the lamp with a Christmas tree! What a neat Disney touch!
I had never heard of this Heidi- thank goodness I looked up in my usual "hello Walt" way!!
I bet he is! What a wonderful tribute replacing the light with a Christmas tree! Thanks for sharing and for joining in The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop fun!
I have to tell you Deb, it set the mood for our entire trip!
I love that story, It really is amazing to see it in person. It's on my list to now see it decorated for Christmas. Beautiful.
Now I REALLY want to take the "Walk in Walt's Disneyland Footsteps" tour Diane!!
I love that they put in a tree for Christmas. Truly magical <3
Gotta love those Disney details- I know Walt did!! 😀
That is such a beautiful tribute to Walt! #DisneyWordlessWednesdays
It is Michelle. I always wonder how any thousands of folks walk past Town Square never knowing Walt's apartment exists; it absolutely raises the magic quotient!
Would love to see that in person some day!
I'm betting you will Jodi!
Another awesome post Donna! I am sure Walt's spirit will be at Disneyland this Christmas season! I am so jealous you got to see it in person…maybe one day I will have the pleasure.
I know your TA research will take you to great places Donna- I hope I can one day tag along for the ride! 😀
I saw that and din't think to take a photo…yeah…one day is too rushed! I love the history of DL and dare I say, its better than WDW. Shhhhhhh!
No, I'm in total agreement Julie; the living history at Disneyland is unmistakable. I'm so happy you were able to carve out a day with Walt!!
