Daily Photo Tour - The Plaza Gardens Stage
On any given day at Disneyland, the air may carry to your ear a tune from the Plaza Gardens Stage. That melody may come from a choir, an orchestra, or a jumpin' swing band. It's a unique facet of the park and the Plaza Gardens Stage has an incredibly rich history. Musicians the likes of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Harry James & Benny Goodman have graced this venue. All within a hop, skip and a jump from Sleeping Beauty Castle. Can you imagine anything more magical?

Thank you so much for this photo! My freshman year of college my choir, Bel Canto, sang on that stage for Music Days... it was a day that I will never forget! Looking at this photo it takes me right back to that day. Amazing as always you guys (and gal)!
You're welcome Christy. Thank you! I bet that was a lot of fun. I would have loved to do something like that.
Great shot of something a majority of guests pass by without a second glance. I was a drummer in a stage band that played "the plaza" in June of '73. The biggest moment of my young life. My love of music expressed while performing in my favorite place on earth. A ride on an electric cart with my drum set through Disneyland's backstage was the topper on the day I will always remember. Thanks so much for the picture, and this site.
