Golden Horseshoe, Western saloon and theatre in Frontierland, Disneyland Anaheim, US.
The Golden Horseshoe is a saloon and theater building in Frontierland at Disneyland where guests dine and watch live performances across two levels. The interior with its wooden elements and furnishings conveys the look of establishments from the American frontier era.
The building opened in 1955 as part of the original Disneyland opening and quickly became a popular entertainment venue. Over the decades it kept its status as a place for regular live music and theatrical shows.
The name references a symbol of luck from the Old West, and visitors find themselves in a room furnished with wooden beams and period pieces from pioneer days. The decor tells of the atmosphere in early saloons where music and meals came together.
The venue sits in Frontierland and can be reached on foot from nearby park attractions. Windows offer views of adjoining park areas, making it easy to stay oriented.
A designer who had previously created saloon sets for films shaped the interior layout of the building. His background in film production influenced the spatial design in an unusual way.
