Walt Disney's Light Keeps On Shining at Disneyland

Hi, AllEars readers! If you would like to read more information regarding the temporary closures at the Disney Parks, please click here for a list of closures at the Disney Parks, or click here for some of our most FAQs. From all of us at AllEars, our thoughts are with those affected. While the Disney Parks are closed, we will continue to write articles and bring you AllEars TV videos to enjoy and for our readers to use once the parks reopen.

Disney parks around the world have been closed for several weeks, but the traditions that have lasted for decades are still alive and well.

Disney World Security is still raising the flag over the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, U.S.A, and Disneyland is keeping the light alive with some special help.

Most Disney fans know that Walt Disney had a private apartment installed above the Disneyland Firehouse for late work days and to spend time with his family.

As Walt said at Disneyland’s dedication, he hoped the park, “…would be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” The spirit of Walt is still shining in his Disneyland apartment through an old Victorian-style lamp to do just that. Rebecca Campbell, President of Disneyland Resort, shared an image of the still-shining light on her Instagram account today.

Inside Walt Disney’s apartment overlooking Town Square at Disneyland, a light has shone through the window above the firehouse for decades. It glows as a source of inspiration to our cast and our guests as a remembrance of the man who once looked out that window to the sights of happy families making memories below. Today, even in a world filled with so much uncertainty, that light still shines, bright as ever. I’m looking forward to the day when families can make memories once again. #disneycastlife #disneymagicmoments
