The Area Was Full of Wild Cats
While building an attraction in Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California in the 1950s, Disney Imagineers discovered the area was full of wild cats roaming free. Although they appeared to be a nuisance, the crew decided they would serve to get rid of mice, except for Mickey and Minnie Mouse, of course. Today, approximately 200 cats live in various Disney Parks.
