NEW ORLEANS SQUARE
You'll feel
right as if you're in the heart of New Orleans in this quaint and
beautiful land, complete with jazz, mint juleps (non-alcoholic), unique
shops and even a haunted antebellum mansion! Wander through the French
Quarter and check out the one-of-a-kind merchandise in the shops. This
is a great area to sit and soak in the atmosphere, and is a favorite for
many Disneyland Ò regulars.
ATTRACTIONS
HAUNTED MANSION - "Grim grinnin' ghosts" greet you in this home of 999 spooks!
Guests enter through a foyer, which magically "stretches"
before your eyes. You then walk on to a moving platform and board your
own "doom buggy" to journey through the dark mansion populated
with all sorts of ghosts and ghoulies. Although there are some dark
moments, the ride is fine for all but the most easily-scared children.
Watch out for hitchhiking ghosts! Guests in wheelchairs must transfer to
ride.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - A
perennial favorite, this slow moving boat ride (with a couple of short
"dips" thrown in for a little thrill) is a Disney classic.
Guests board their pirate boat and travel through an audio-animatronic
pirate adventure. Watch as the pirates take over a Spanish fort and
pillage and plunder the town. Recently renovated, this ride features
amazing detail and is a treat for the eyes. Just remember - "dead
men tell no tales!" Guests in wheelchairs must transfer to ride.
THE DISNEY GALLERY - This
walk-through exhibit up the stairs in New Orleans Square was originally
built to be a private apartment for Walt, but unfortunately he died
before it was completed. Now it is used for Disneyland Ò-related art and
collectible displays.
RESTAURANTS & REFRESHMENTS
BLUE BAYOU RESTAURANT - The only restaurant in Disneyland Ò to take same-day
reservations, this is a favorite for many with its cool, dark interior,
Cajun-inspire food and views of the Pirates boats as they meander by.

seafood, chicken and beef. Limited same day reservations are taken at
the entrance to the restaurant; go there first thing in the morning if
