Above Disneyland Fire Dept- is Walt Disney’s personal Apartment
Since Disney’s death in 1966, the 500-square-foot studio apartment has remained virtually unchanged.
Original furnishings include:
* Victorian décor
* Crushed red carpet
* Twin floral fold-out couches
* Victrola phonograph
* Regina music box
* Personal photographs
* Family china
* Kitchenette with refrigerator
* Fully stocked liquor cabinet
The one major change: A fire pole connecting the apartment to the firehouse below was removed soon
after a visitor shimmied up it into the residence.
Built in 1954, the firehouse was the Anaheim theme park’s second structure, after the opera house,
which doubled as a sawmill.
“In those days, he would often spend the night going over blueprints, then get up at 5 a.m. to talk to Imagineers,”
After the park opened in 1955, Disney often used his secret hideaway for entertaining celebrities — including John Wayne and Frank Sinatra.
Today, Disney brass employ the suite for corporate meetings. Soon, Disneyland will start offering
$3000 VIP tours that include a visit to the firehouse apartment.

Walt had a personal apartment above the Fire House that he used when the park first opened.
