Zorro in DISNEYLAND

In the late 1950's, Zorro was a huge hit with kids, almost as big as Davy Crockett a few years earlier. While a contract dispute with ABC sidelined the dashing hero, DISNEYLAND took full advantage of Zorro's success to feature him in the park's Frontierland.

Now this wasn't just actors pretending to be Zorro and friends; it was the actual stars of the show! Imagine the excitement of seeing your actual heroes at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom? It was quite literally a dream come true for many excited kids.

While Zorro isn't quite the draw he used to be, he is not forgotten at the Magic Kingdom. The next time you findO yourself enjoying a meal at Rancho Del Zocalo inside Frontierland, look above the serving area. You'll see the Z that stands for Zorro!
