After my faux pas of calling Walt Disney World in Florida “Disneyland” a few people submitted the real Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

Bisected by the Arctic Circle and reaching to the Arctic Ocean, Canada’s Yukon is one of the most remote locations visited so far by Google Street View. The territory is larger than Sweden but has a sparse population of 34,200 people. Today we begin a two-part journey crossing Yukon from west to east starting with the Top of the World Highway.

that’s it? sure looks small. I remember it being alot larger; but I was only 8.LOL what is the large white building to the south(not true compass setting) and the rectangular white building to the northwest (again not the true compass setting)?
The building to the south is the Anaheim Convention Center. The one to the northwest is the Mickey & Friends parking structure. It was built because the former parking lot for Disneyland that was to the south of the entrance was taken out and Disney’s California Adventure was built in its place. DCA is the park between Disneyland and the convention center.
It is so weird to see Disneyland from the air, “landlocked” by the city of Anaheim around it. I grew up in Orlando, where Walt bought thousands and thousands of acres, where Disney has its own little “empire” well away from any other commercial development.
