In 2004, Disneyland began asking guests to submit photographs of their family having fun at Disneyland - didn't matter if they were black and white, color, regular photos, or digital - Disney wanted them for their Happiest Homecoming on Earth celebration for the 50th anniversary.
Disney's imagineers have created beautiful collages from these photographs and placed them at Disneyland and California Adventure, using thousands of photos that were submitted by guests and cast members.
From a Distance, these collages seem like simple giant posters of our favorite characters and villains, but on closer inspection, the individual photos stand out.
Here are a few samples of the Happiest Faces on Earth. Click on a picture to see a larger version.
Some of these pics can be seen on the DISneyland board: Disneyland's 50th Celebration Pictures

On Main Street there are two. One is inside Walt's Theater and is of Walt himself with the Mouse who started it all.
Outside of Walt's Theater there is a huge mural of Steamboat Willie.
Up close, you can see the individual photos
Sorry this is blurred.
As you step away a bit, you see that the individual photos make up cast members faces.
And, it's not until you really step back that you see Steamboat Willie himself
You can find Malificient in Fantasyland
Winnie the Pooh is one of my favorites, and can be found in Critter Country, by his attraction.
You can find Simba and Nala in Adventureland
Hitchhiking Ghosts in front of the Haunted Mansion
Fantasmic in front of the French Market Restaurant
More to come....
