The bus driver had a great trivia question. I even loved his answer. But he was wrong.

The Toy Story Parking Lot is still rather new. Its grand opening was March 19, 2010. Located on what was once the Fujishige family strawberry farm, it provides much-needed additional parking capacity for the Disneyland Resort. And if youre driving from the south on Interstate-5 or Harbor Boulevard, its much more convenient than the massive Mickey & Friends garage.

After a day at Disney California Adventure, it was time to return to the Toy Story Parking Lot on Harbor Blvd. My wife and I turned to the right at the park exit toward what was once the Lion King parking lot tram stop.

An exceptionally friendly bus driver welcomed us as we boarded a bright blue Toy Story Shuttle Bus that doubled as a travelling billboard for Toy Story Mania . We sat down for the short ride down Harbor Boulevard.

Nobody had an answer, so the driver continued, “When Walt Disney built Disneyland, the City of Anaheim allowed him to name the road that ran along his property. It was just a dirt road at the time. Walt Disney had two daughters. Their names were Kate and Ella. He put the two names together to make Katella!”

What a great trivia question, I thought. I had no idea what the answer might be. Perhaps its a Spanish word? Or maybe an unusual last name?

“Well be crossing Katella Avenue, the southern edge of Disneyland. Does anyone here know how Katella got its name?” he asked.

After a warm greeting and sincere remarks hoping that everyone had a good time at the parks, the driver offered a trivia question.

The driver looked dejected. “My boss told me that story,” he said, “I thought it was true.”

“Thank you for the great service. I love the idea that Katella is a concatenation of the names Kate and Ella. Its true that Walt Disney had two daughters, but their names were Diane and Sharon,” I explained.

When we reached our destination, I spoke briefly to the driver. I tried to be nice.
