Where would you find this?

Answer:
You would see this on the wall at the entrance to Disneyland's Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante, in Frontierland. I used a fountain on the other side of the entrance in a previous mystery photo.

Is this in the lane way down besides Rancho del Zocalo heading towards the bathrooms?

The walkway near Rancho del Zocalo.

Where would you find this?

Answer:
This is in the back yard of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. The queue for the attraction files past these back walls, but usually only on crowded days. If attendance is light, they normally do not route the queue through the back yard.

The responses I received were:

Shannon
Complete guess here - Haunted Mansion?

Jeff Toro
We can see these while waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion.

Richard Blythe
The back wall of the queue of the Haunted Mansion.

Why is there a walkway down there? Is it to keep the people in the queue from touching the stones?
-- Beats me. I have no idea what the walkway is for. Edited 7/14/07: I think it might be the exit for the ride's evacuation route. I've since seen people exiting through a door in the wall next to the crypts.

Where would you see this building? What famous store was originally located inside it?

Answer:
This storefront, which is of course on Main Street U.S.A., was originally home to Hollywood Maxwell's corset and intimate apparel shop, sometimes playfully known as The Wizard of Bras.

The responses I received were:

Shannon
On Main Street and that is the old brassiere shop...

Jeff Toro
I know its on Main Street, but don't know what store. Was it the one Steve Martin worked at, the Magic Store?

Kirby
This building on the east side of Main Street U.S.A. was originally an Intimate Apparel shop - Hollywood Maxwell's ("The Wizard of Bras"). It closed within a year of the park opening.

(I can't find my copy of Disneyland - the Nickel Tour, which has more information! How could I misplace that book?)
-- I hope you find it! A quick look on Amazon shows me that used copies are going for nearly $200. I'd hate to lose that!

That sure looks like one of the pics from the Haunted Mansion..but the background confuses me. I will say..it IS one of the pics from the Haunted Mansion but it is on display somewhere else.
-- I hadn't thought of the Haunted Mansion, but I kind of expected someone to think it was from another attraction I was going to mention here, but I think I'll save that for a future mystery photo instead.
