Each building in New Orleans Square houses elaborate decorations. From the cobwebs lining the Haunted Mansion‘s halls to the sparkling crystal in Cristal d’Orleans, everything feels intentional and helps tell the land’s story. But one hidden gem within the square went so far as to inspire a character from one of Disney’s most successful franchises. […] Read more…
Toontown‘s most famous couple lives a little unconventionally – in side by side houses rather than a shared home. But this affords them the opportunity to make their living spaces completely reflective of their personalities and styles, which don’t exactly match. Let’s take a closer look at Minnie’s House. Like Mickey’s House, Minnie’s home has […] Read more…
If you’ve ever visited Galaxy’s Edge, you’ve probably spent a little time in the Millennium Falcon. Smuggler’s Run was the land’s first ride, and the whole experience of sitting in the same spot as Han Solo, Chewy, and the rest of the gang is an incredible feeling for Star Wars fans. And when the ride ends, […] Read more…

As you explore Fantasyland, you’ll no doubt catch a glimpse of a towering stone mansion, right within the castle courtyard. Welcome to Snow White‘s home. Shall we see if she’s welcoming visitors?
