One of my favorite places in Disneyland to stop and soak in my magical surroundings is at Snow White’s Grotto. I love the story of eight marble figurines – seven dwarves and Snow White – showing up at the Walt Disney Studios from an anonymous artist in Italy. Did you know that all of the figures are actually the same size? Imagineers decided to force the illusion that Snow White was actually much larger by placing her on top of the waterfall and each of the dwarves lower down on the mountain… I think it just adds more to the charm.

When I was thumbing through old pictures for Flashback Friday, I was pleased to find this one and see that Snow Whites Grotto has always been a favorite place for a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of the Park.
