A private apartment at Disneyland
A full-size carousel horse, a mechanical songbird and paintings of European castles will be among the decorations in a private living suite under construction at Disneyland.
Designers and crews are completing the project, which Walt Disney dreamed up in the 1960s and designed with the help of illustrator Dorothea Redmond and Oscar-winning set decorator Emile Kuri.
Park visitors will be able to win an overnight stay in the Disneyland Dream Suite starting next year. The two-bedroom, two-bath, 2,600-square-foot apartment will be hidden away in the New Orleans Square area.
Disney wanted to use the living quarters for himself, his family and important guests. He died before the work could be completed, and the space became offices before being converted into the Disney Gallery in 1987.
