Now, however, I want to turn your attention to Disneyland Park, where a fan-favorite St. Patrick’s Day display has returned!
The Little Man of Disneyland Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day
When visiting Adventureland this weekend, we were thrilled to see that Patrick Begorra, aka the Little Man of Disneyland, has put out his St. Patrick’s Day decorations.
1955’s Little Man of Disneyland. A Little Golden Book
For those unfamiliar, Patrick Begorra is a leprechaun said to have lived in the orange groves of Anaheim. According to a 1955 Little Golden Book, one morning, he spotted Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto walking by with construction tools in hand.
Annoyed by the noisy commotion, Patrick stopped the gang to find out what they were up to.

Before long, Mickey and his friends whisked Patrick away on a helicopter ride to the Walt Disney Studio, where he got a firsthand look at the plans for Disneyland. After seeing Walt’s vision for the park, Begorra ultimately agreed to allow construction to move forward.
Patrick Has Decorated His Home
As The Happiest Place on Earth’s resident leprechaun, St. Patrick’s Day is the Little Man’s time to shine.
It is only fitting, then, that Patrick’s house is decked out in festive decor.
As you can see, his front door now features a green bow and a new welcome mat.
Here is another look.
Nearby, rainbow-colored ribbons lead to a pot of gold.
All in all, Patrick’s house looks amazing!
So, if you plan on visiting Adventureland this week, make sure you stop by and check it out.
