I came SO close to visiting Walt's Apartment last year when I visited the Park with a friend.
We stopped by City Hall at the end of a late evening to leave some compliments for some experiences my friend had that day while traversing the property.
I had encouraged him during his multi-day visit to stop in and give feedback to the Guest Relations CMs if he had outstanding experiences with certain characters , Cast, or services.
So we stopped in, and the 'plaid' behind the desk enjoyed talking to us.
He was also likely relieved we weren't there to complain about something like they typically have to deal with.
We talked for quite some time.....about 40 minutes....and at one point he took us outside to stand in front of the Disneyland Firehouse.
There we stood for another 20 minutes or so talking about Disneyland history, and then he confesses he wanted to surprise us with something special since we seemed to be the type of fans who could appreciate it -
Turns out he wanted to try to get us both up into Walt's Apartment, but then realized the person who had the key had left for the night.
It was pretty late...but man, so close!
Of course my friend was pretty blown away by the offer....and I thought it was a nice gesture.
One of these days...
Only at Disneyland.
