It's still uncertain when the day will come when Disneyland will once again open its doors, so in the meantime I've rounded up all the Disney related spots, walls, and photo ops for you! These locations may be closed now but they could be open sooner than Disneyland, so it may give you a little Disney magic until then.... 1. Bowers Museum - Exhibit of " INSIDE THE WALT DISNEY BARN First stop, Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA. The 'Inside the Walt Disney Archives" opened in the beginning of March. The exhibit has a lot of vintage pieces, movie props, wardrobe and cars. The exhibit was originally scheduled to end August 20, 2020, but it may be extended. 2. Walt Disney Barn Walt Disney Barn is located in Griffith Park. This is Walt Disney's original barn, where he worked on his love for trains. It holds a bunch of memorabilia. The barn is normally open once a month...check their website for dates. 3. Founders's Park - Walt Disney's modeled the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse after the Moreton Bay Fig pictured here Founder's Park in Anaheim, CA is a historic park with a victorian style house. It is also home to this Moreton Bay Fig, that was said to have been Walt's Disney model for Swiss Family treehouse (now the Tarzan Treehouse). The home is only open a few times a year for tours, check their website for updates. 4. Stanley Ranch Museum & Historical Village - home to Walt Disney's Garage Stanley Ranch is located in Garden Grove, CA, just a few miles from Disneyland. It is the garage Walt used as a studio to work on his animation machine. It was transported here from Walt's uncles' home in Hollywood. There's pictures and a few Disney things inside. The museum is only open twice a month. Keep an eye out when they open back up. 5. Walt Disney Studios Walt Disney Studio is located in Burbank, CA. The studio is closed to the public. D23 usually offers tours and special events that lets you in. We attend their Christmas event every year and its amazing; you even get access to their exclusive gift shop. 6. El Capitan Theatre El Capitan Theatre is located in Hollywood, CA. It is the best place to watch new Disney movies. They usually have, special performances, photo ops and/or props and costumes from the movies. They also show older films throughout the year. We went to their 4-D Nightmare before Christmas show in October and the downstairs had props from the movie. 7. Hollywood walk of Fame The Hollywood Walk of Fame has several Disney stars: Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, Tinkerbell, Winnie the Pooh, Kermit the Frog, The Muppets... 8. Funko Pop Store Hollywood Funko Pop Store in Hollywood, CA. This store is so amazing. It has huge size Funko pops, many are Disney: Little Mermaid, Star Wars, Frozen, Disney villians. They also have lots of disney merch for purchase and admission is free. 9. Los Feliz Passenger Station Los Feliz Passenger Train Station located in Griffith Park. It takes you for a train ride around the park and I caught this Disney surprise. It only costs a few dollars to ride and it's fun for the kiddos. 10. Walt Disney Concert Hall Walt Disney Concert Hall is located in Los Angeles, CA. It was designed by Frank Gehry. It is the home to the Los Anagles Philharmonic. The building itself is beautiful, it's also great for photo ops. There's a hidden little garden too. Sometimes they have art exhibits. I went when they had 'Nimbus' on display. 11. Hollywood Museum Hollywood Museum in Hollywood, CA. This museum has so many props and costumes from so many different movies. Their website says they have High School Musical costumes on display. I didn't catch a photo of that so that is why there's the Batmobile photo. Once the museum reopens I'll have to go again to update the photo and let you know what else I find. 12. Peterson Automotive Museum Peterson Automotive Museum is located in Miracle Mile in Los Angeles. It has a various amount of amazing cars on display. A couple of them happen to be Disney cars including Herbie. (This photo was taken at the Inside Walt Disney Archives exhibit not at Peterson Museum). Check their website for opening dates and to confirm the Disney cars are still on display. This posts is only the beginning. My next posts will include all the restaurants, bars and cafes. There's also a bunch of Disney murals scattered around SoCal. Stay tuned.... ***Also, please remember due to the stay at home orders, these locations are temporarily closed. Once the orders are lifted, check these locations' websites for opening dates, Stay safe everyone. Comment if I missed anything.
