This is the place for photos of anything in DCA between the entrance gate and Carthay Circle, i.e. the area known as Buena Vista Street. It's also the place for shots east of the Carthay Circle in Hollywood Land.
Walt Disney's first big-time cartoon star wasn't Mickey Mouse, it was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Walt, as you know, wasn't so lucky, as he was swindled out of the rights to Oswald and most of his animators. Years later, the Disney company regained the rights to Oswald in exchange for sportscaster Al Michaels.
Many years ago, Mickey Mouse got off a train in Hollywood with just a suitcase and a dream. The newsboys gathered around him and sang inspirational songs. That's how it really happened, right?

The Storytellers statue commemorates Walt's 1923 arrival in Hollywood with a cardboard suitcase, $40 and a dream. Mickey, however, was a few years in the future.
It's not a Disney theme park without live music, right? Five & Dime perform regularly at the Carthay Circle (the roundabout, not the restaurant) in DCA.
5 & dime, a really good swing/jazz band that performs a few times a day, and yes they were good enough to cause a small group of pixel maniacs to go fanboy and chase their car down the street and catch their set a few times
