New Orleans Square meets Joshua Tree

I was not expecting a Disneyland connection during my recent Joshua Tree trip, but there it was. I rounded one of the corners at the Inn, I noticed this bench. I told Justin, the Inn employee, that it looked like a bench from New Orleans Square. I pulled out my phone to look at my website, and bingo.

I believe New Orleans Square has multiples of this bench, as seen in the photos I shot in 2015:





This style of bench has been around the park at least as far back as November 1965, when my Mom and brothers enjoyed a Welch’s frozen bar in Fantasyland:



I wish I knew where Walt found these, as well as where the Joshua Tree Inn obtained their bench.
