During Tony Baxter's Masterclass on 12 April 2012, he was asked to discuss the homages to the original Disneyland in California at Disneyland Paris.  Being a total Disney geek, I just had to track these down during my visit this weekend......
The first of these is in Au Chalet de la Marionette, just above the main entrance.



The other is in the small terrace outside Bella Notte

When you hear commitment like this it makes you sad that the same enthusiasm has been lacking for so many years at DLRP! now that Imagineering are paying us more attention lets hope things continue to improve!

Ah, so that's what it looks like. :) So how come it was originally off-centre?

A central vertical beam that was crucial to the structure of the building meant they could install the "EXIT" light there. :)
