The World of Yester-Year

Once you get through the gates you see the iconic Disneyland Railway and Mickey Mouse created with flowers, or a seasonal floral arrangement.After going under the train tracks and you enter the world of "Yester-Year" or better known as Mainstreet U.S.A. Mainstreet was designed to look like a midwest town from around the early 20th century. The land itself was heavily inspired by Walt Disney's own experiences growing up in Marceline, Missouri.

Entrance

Walt's Apartment

Above the firehouse in Town Square at Disneyland is Disney's personal apartment, fully furnished but off-limits to the public. Disney resided there so that he could quickly travel to and from The Walt Disney Company. A lamp is kept burning in the front window as a tribute to his memory, except at Christmas where a small tannenbaum replaces the lamp. It is largely decorated for both Halloween and Christmas.
