[...] Also on display in the museum’s main lobby is a furniture set that used to be housed inside of the Disney Family Apartment, which is located inside of the original Disneyland theme park, above the Disney Fire House on Main Street U.S.A. I had never actually heard about the private apartment until fellow stalker Kerry pointed it out to me last summer after the two of us had eaten at Club 33. According to Kerry, whenever Walt stayed at the apartment, the lamp in the main window was lit to alert Disney Cast Members of his presence. Following his death on December 15, 1966, the lamp was turned on and has been left permanently lit ever since. The Walt Disney Family Museum also boasts an absolutely GINORMOUS 3-D diorama of the “Disneyland of Walt’s imagination” in one of its galleries and if you look at it closely you can see an apartment located above the Disney Fire House – and there is, of course, a lamp flickering inside of the window. So darn cool! You can read more about the Disney Family Apartment and see photographs of the inside of it here. [...]

Thanks for sharing this bit of Walt’s life. I can totally relate. A couple of years back we visited the sites in Marceline, Missouri that Walt often talked about — the train station, the “Wishing Tree,” a replica of the barn that he and his younger sister Ruth played in, and, of course, the house that he and Ruth painted much to the consternation of his father Elias. I would think that a visit to Walt’s apartment would be, pardon the expression, a religious experience.

I did a quick Google search and came up with this for a Tom and Jerry.
Tom & Jerry Punch

1 Cup. Dark Rum
1 Bottle (750 ml) Brandy
6 Eggs*
2 Cups Sugar
4 Cups Hot water, milk, or coffee

Seperate egg in two bowls. Add Rum & Brandy to the yolk and beat together until frothy. In th other bowl beat the egg white until it peaks then add sugar and bet until stiff. Fold into the liqour mixture. Pour into a coffee mug and top with the water, milk or coffee.

Just thought it was interesting.

I was lucky enough to see Walt’s apartment as part of Backstage Magic with Adventures by Disney. It was probably my favorite part of the trip. It was a moving & overwhelming experience for me to be where I knew Walt had actually spent so much time.
I wish we had able to been take pictures like you did. They did take a group shot of us in the apartment which I treasure (even though my nose is red in the picture since I shed a few tears).
Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been to Walt’s apartment twice. Once when a friend won a trip for the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disneyland, and once during the Adventures by Disney Backstage Magic Tour. But neither time we were allowed to take pictures. Thanks for that.

And Tom & Jerry has both brandy and rum.

Loved the story and pictures!

I agree with Corey, I’m seriously jealous!
