A Special Treat: Espresso with Walt Disney

Recently I shared a photo of Walt Disney enjoying a cup of coffee at the Plaza Inn, and the reaction to this rare photo was so positive, I thought you might enjoy another “caffeinated photo” featuring Walt.

Shortly after New Orleans Square opened in 1966, Walt posed for this photo with Cast Members at the Creole Café. Later renamed Café Orleans, you can still find delicious desserts, and of course, espresso there.


The day I found this photo, I took a walk out to Café Orleans where I was pleased to see the very same espresso machine pictured with Walt still in-residence after all these years.


These little connections to Walt Disney are always a special treat to discover at Disneyland park. Do you have a favorite place or item in the parks that especially reminds you of Walt?
