Thousands walk up and down Main St., USA in the Magic Kingdom every
day, yet few probably look up and take notice of the 2nd floor windows
on all of the buildings. Imagineers put the names of Walt Disney,
his family and other people closely connected with the Walt Disney
Company on each window, making them look like the buildings housed
businesses.
Here are a selection-
