Walt Disney's Disneyland apartment was concealed from the public, but his family often stayed with him there. In an interview the Huffington Post conducted with Diane Disney Miller, one of Disney's daughters, she recalled what it was like to stay there. Miller said that the apartment was a private refuge for her parents, and it was filled with trinkets and decorations from their travels. The design coordinated with the firehouse, and it was set decorator Emile Kuri — who designed sets for "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" — who did the interior decorating. The Disneys were fans of the Victorian aesthetic, and it was used as an inspiration for decorating the apartment.

Disney and his family spent a lot of time at the apartment, as he was a busy man. According to Miller, her father would spend the daytime at the studio and then head to Disneyland to spend time at the amusement park. With the apartment there, Disney didn't have to go back and forth to work. However, it wasn't just about the convenience; Disney genuinely wanted to stay at the park (via Walt Disney.org).
