It takes 30 seconds to double-check this stuff on your smart-phone. :rolleyes:

If my experience is any guide, the copywriter may well have had this correct, and the mistake crept in via the graphics department. (I could tell stories - such as the time that I wrote a series of plaques for visiting VIP guest and then AFI President Charlton Heston. His name wound up misspelt on all the finished graphics as Charlatan Heston!)
Or maybe you actually can visit the new Disneyana in it is new location.
Copyediting Disneyland is a task filled with despair. Obviously, what happened is that this sign stole the apostrophe from the Mens room next to Zocalo.

I've got my eye on another extraneous apostrophe at Jolly Holiday...
There's so many misspellings in Critter Country I wrote a MouseAdventure puzzle based on them (though those are all intentional). But mostly to snidely give vent to my frustration at how many unintentional errors there are.

*There're
I'm not bothered by typos in casual communication.
But just to possibly aggravate you further, I did it on accident.

Ugh, I hate seeing that on "professionally" produced signage
