New Orleans Square transports park guests to a simpler time in New Orleans when it was a port town for trade ships, etc. Disney was not one to miss out on any detail and if you look at the right angle, you can see evidence of another waterfront just beyond the train tracks behind Royal St.

I love Disneyland history. Recently, Disney Parks Blog posted this amazing look back at the construction and creation of one of the park’s flagship and most iconic ride:
This picture was one of my favorite shots from the piece:
I had never seen a photo quite like this one before and it’s shots like these that really excite me. If I were a kid back in the 1960s, this would have been the cornerstone of the Disneyland trip’s photo album. I have a lot of photos of the creation of Ariel’s Undersea Adventures, World of Color, and the Finding Nemo Submarines.
What are some of your favorite ride construction photos?
We all know the standard hidden mickeys (and if you don’t, check out this book here)
But some of my favorite hidden mickeys are the ones you stumble upon and once you share it, you notice people eavesdropping and then telling their friends. You might say that hidden Mickeys are one of the original viral campaigns.
This one is a favorite of mine.
