New Orleans Station

Morse code can be heard at the train station in New Orleans Square. The transmission is the first two sentences from Walt Disney's opening day speech on July 17 1955.

"To all who come to Disneyland, welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future."

This speech is repeated every 49 seconds and transmitted in landline telegraphy.

In the park's early days, the telegraph tapped out a "ribald message." It was quickly changed after Disney casually mentioned that his wife knew Morse code.

Miceage story on the history of the New Orleans train station.

New Orleans Square also has a stop on the Disneyland Railroad; this station was originally considered the Frontierland Station before New Orleans Square was added.

The Depot seen across the tracks from the station is a copy of the train station in the Disney film "So Dear to My Heart;" the actual station from the movie is now in animator Ward Kimball's backyard.

The tunnel which the train passes through just before arriving at the New Orleans Square Station passes over the Indiana Jones Adventure and Pirates of the Caribbean.

The tunnel which it goes through just after leaving the station crosses over the Haunted Mansion and through Splash Mountain in Critter Country.

The masts of a ship can be seen over the rooftops of the New Orleans Square buildings.
