Haunted Mansion[]

Initials[]

Mickey Mouse's initials have been affiliated with the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. When put into numerical code in which every letter is represented by the number in which it appears in chronological order of the alphabet, Mickey's initials go from, "MM" to, "1313". Because of this, the official address of Disneyland in California was slated as 1313 Harbor Boulevard.

Due to this and the number 13 being frequently featured in the Haunted Mansion due to its affiliation with the paranormal, 1313 has sometimes been used as the number address of the Haunted Mansion. One example is in the Magic Kingdom where a luggage sticker on Ezra's case says Anaheim 1313. 1313 is also the page which Madame Leota's spell book is opened to, featuring an illustration of the Grim Reaper, a reference to the film Blackbeard's Ghost and Leota's incantation. Because of this, 1313 has become affiliated with Madame Leota in merchandise.
