Opera House - Main Street USA: This ordinary wooden bench, has an extraordinary history. According to Walt Disney, the idea for a Disney-themed amusement park came to him while sitting on a park bench. He thought about creating a new kind of amusement park, while he watched his daughters ride the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round. The park bench that Walt Disney sat on, while he imagined what would become Disneyland, is currently on display in the Opera House lobby.
