Inside Disney’s 700-acre ranch it would rather keep a secret from fans
- Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch near Santa Clarita covers about 700 acres and is largely secretive.
- The ranch sits in Placerita Canyon, about 20 miles north of Disney’s Burbank studio, with restricted public access.
- Walt Disney purchased the ranch in 1959 to preserve working movie ranching for future productions.
- Golden Oak Ranch features multiple backlots, Old West sets, a small-town district, and varied landscapes.
- The site includes the historic Guest House once used by Walt Disney himself.
- Disney uses the grounds to test future park attractions and to grow hay for Disneyland horses.
- The ranch has hosted productions for series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Little House on the Prairie.
- The site’s name appears at Disney World’s Golden Oak Outpost in Magic Kingdom.
- No public tours are offered, and the ranch is heavily guarded to protect testing and filming.
