Central Plaza
Central Plaza

The Central Plaza was the second
miniature  of the Robert Olszewski
Main Street,USA collection to be
released. This piece sells for $95.00 at
the Disneyana, Disney Gallery,  World
of Disney and Off The Page, at Disney's  
California Adventure.

The Central Plaza has become one of
the most photographed locations in the
Disneyland Park. The design of the
plaza was quite remarkable. Disneyland
was planned with a central point of
orientation, a "hub".  The plan was to
have a center point to all the "lands" in
the park.  The garden setting of colorful
flowers and breathtaking views of
Sleeping Beauty Castle, make it a
wonderful place to take a break, or wait
for loved ones.

In the year 1993, a bronze statue of
Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse was
added to the center of the Plaza. The
statue was named "Partners"  and sits
among beautiful ever changing flowers.
The statue captures Walt and Mickey
as they gaze down Main Street smiling
at the kingdom they had created.

Robert captured every detail of this
truly special place.  Just a glance and
you notice  the green park benches
where you have taken a break or
smelled the aroma of the popcorn
vendor.  He also included the smallest  
detail of the Disney Characters on their
pedestals. The "magic"  of this piece is
when you turn the lights on and the
twinkling of the trees come to life. The
amber glow on Walt and Mickey could
not be any more like the real thing.
