The window with a lamp
 


do you glance up to the window with the lamp on your visit to Disneyland?

i do - with reverance and gratitude, thanking Walt for the rich legacy he has left all of us. with reassurance that the lamp is lit and a feeling that Walt is nearby, i then begin my stroll down Main Street to enjoy my day in Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom.

but what is behind that window?

what does it look and smell like inside Walt's apartment?

have you ever been inside or dreamed of a chance to see for yourself what is behind that window?

:confused:

Are you talking about that thing on Disney auctions or something where you get a bunch of stuff including a tour of Walt's apartment? It's pretty expensive.

Oh, found the link: http://disneyauctions.go.com/cgi-bin...aunbr=67110342.

And yes, it's very pretty inside Walt's apartment. It was amazing looking through the window from the inside down onto Town Square.

I don't always give Walt the nod or wave, but some days, the lamp does catch my eye. I think it especially beckons when we close the park and saunter our way slowly to the exit.

I love showing it to day guest friends.

"That was Walt's apartment, above the fire station. He'd stay the night up there sometimes, and be up early to walk the park and make sure things were perfect. The workers knew he was here if the lamp was on in the window. After he died, they left it on all the time, to show that Walt is always here."

Everyone that I've related this short tale to seems touched by it, regardless of how much of a Disney person they are. What a lovely symbol of Walt's commitment.
