But itās also not the first mention Iāve heard of a Saturday in Juneā¦ Isnāt Saturday a traditionally slower day on MK? Wonder if there is any actual pattern of a particular day Disney does these type of thingsā¦
LA 23 (Highway 23) is the main highway from New Orleans down to the marshy side of the Bayou. It follows the Mississippi River. While itās swampish on that side- thatās the side I fish on and itās definitely more marsh than bayou. You go west for Bayou.
But if you take that as LA 123 it just makes no sense. Not really bayou/ swamp. More farm lands.
Now, there is an actual address of 52872 Hwy 23ā¦ in West Point a la Hache, LA (kinda a locally know town for fishing. Also has one of the ferries that will get you across the Mississippi River down there since there are no more bridges).
Coincidentally, when I was 20 my car broke down at the x. We went across the ferry and were on our way back home. Apparently youāre suposed to change oil in a car or you can throw a rod or two

I donāt know if it means anything at all. But looking at the license plate the LA 23 jumped out at me as being a highway. And around here the addresses on the rural highways are often 5 digits. And Iām fairly familiar with LA 23. And it certainly fits the ābayouā theme. Now the address could just be a coincidence but when I googled it I found it soooo close to where I had to call a tow truck decades ago (back then it was $150 to tow me halfway home to my uncles house, lol).
And the ferry isnāt far from there to take you across the river. Not sure if that even fits but water and all why not throw it out there, lol

@drvillarejos that makes sense too with local knowledge. I hope one day we find out exactly what the meaning behind it is with all the different theories!

Some podcast I recently listened to said they think the license plate is the opening dates for WDW and DL- 5/28 and 7/2 respectfully. That makes sense too. Also, a little less obscure than my hypothesis

I love that they are sharing it from the Imagineering perspective. I had never seen the original bird. 
Louis was just incredible. It is making me thinking about Frozen and the first time I rode it. We were in the front of the boat and came around the corner where Olafās look of joy at seeing us made me and Ryan gasp.
Maggie was telling me that she cannot wait for this ride. I am so excited that it should be open for our visit! I have plans.
(Also bring those adorable droids to WDW!)

We put together a theory that LA is 23 - the year the Disney Brotherās Studio opened, 72 - the year the woman who voices Tiana was born and 5-28 was the date Disneylandās Mine Train Through Natureās Wonderland opened - that was the ride where all the animatronics for Splash came from - and some of them will still be in TBA!
