Location: New Orleans Square, Disneyland
Sitting above Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland
is an empty apartment that was once intended to be used by Walt
Disney and his brother Roy during their overnight trips to the park.
Most people know of Walt's apartment above the Main Street Fire
Station, but this one would have offered up more space and more
bedrooms for family and friends. In 2005, during the Year of a
Million Dreams giveaway, the space was converted into the Dream
Suite where one lucky guest could stay in the room for a single
night:

One of the most overlooked parts of the suite can be
seen from New Orleans Square in the ironwork on the patio
overlooking the Rivers of America. Here in the ironwork guests can
see in gold the initials WD and RD reminding us that this place was
once intended for Walt Disney and Roy Disney!
