Walt Disney's vision of exclusivity began with the Red Wagon Inn, Disneyland's premier dining option at its 1955 opening. Unlike typical theme park fare, it offered a multi-course menu in a lavish setting reminiscent of the 1890s. Over 10,000 square feet, adorned with Victorian décor and featuring an exclusive bar, made it a favored choice among the elite. This concept paved the way for Club 33, underscoring Disney’s affluent dining experiences. Jim Denney notes Disney's personal investment in the restaurant's design, highlighting its significance in Disney's legacy of high-quality dining.
The Red Wagon Inn was not just a dining venue; it was a carefully orchestrated experience, designed to transport diners to a more elegant, bygone era.
Walt Disney took personal interest in the design of the Red Wagon Inn, making it his favorite among the twenty-four eateries in Disneyland.
