There are so many fun hidden details throughout Disneyland that are waiting to be discovered by guests. From movie props and Easter eggs on beloved rides to an attraction with a secret guestbook, there is a treasure trove of hidden experiences guests can appreciate.

One of the most adorable details in the parks is the presence of The Little Man who lives at Disneyland in a tiny house. You have probably walked right by this hidden gem and not even realized it!

Keep reading for more details about the Little Man of Disneyland, who he is, and where to find his hidden abode. Ahead of St. Patrick's Day at Disneyland, we wanted to recount this favorite story of the leprechaun at Disneyland.

Little Man of Disneyland

The Little Man of Disneyland, Patrick Begorra, is a leprechaun who was first introduced in the Little Man of Disneyland, one of the Disney Little Golden Books published in the same year as Disneyland's opening in 1955. You can see the book available on Amazon here.

The story goes that Patrick Begorra lived in a tree among Anaheim's orange groves and saw Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto coming through preparing for the construction of Disneyland. The characters invite the leprechaun to visit the Walt Disney Studio to see the plans for Disneyland and take him there by helicopter. Patrick approves of the plan to build Disneyland but asks that they give him a place to live there, and he chooses a tree in Adventureland, where he still dwells present day.

You'll find the Little Man of Disneyland's house discreetly built into the trunk of the tree in Adventureland with the Indiana Jones Adventure sign. See a photo of his cute home below! It's the perfect little hideout for a leprechaun.

Here's the house decorated for St. Patrick's Day!

See this Instagram video we shared capturing Patrick Begorra's tiny house. It really is tucked away, so many miss it when they walk by! Make sure to also follow us on Instagram below.
