This is the Pope House in a back stage parking lot at Disneyland. At one time, this house had two full time residents living in it, Owen and Dolly Pope. They were hired by Walt Disney in 1951 to advise imagineers on the use of animals in the parks. The animals however needed after-hours care so Walt Disney had this house built for them to stay on property and be there for the animals. They lived in the house from July 1955 until they retired in 1971.

When in Start Tours, if you hear: “paging Egroeg Sacul. Please move landspeeder THX1138”. This is a nod to George Lucas in two ways. THX 1138 refers to the first movie he directed and the Egroeg Sacul is George Lucas spelled backward.

There are a number of certificates a guest can possibly get in Disneyland, often being the very first person to ride that attraction that particular day. Here is the certificate given out to the first person to ride the Haunted Mansion.

There are a number of objects within the Indiana Jones attraction that Disneyland does not own. For example, this truck, one of the original trucks used in the filming of Raiders of the Lost Ark, is actually owned by George Lucas. This is one of the last six trucks still around from the movie. George Lucas also owns the mine cart and a few other original props in the queue that were in the movies.
