Frank's beloved bench at Disneyland has returned with a new plaque, honoring the memory of a cherished guest. Frank, affectionately known as 'Porch Potato' and 'Mayor of Main Street', spent countless hours sitting on the Palm Parlor porch, greeting visitors with warmth and charm. His passing in August 2025 left a void in the Disneyland community.
The bench, temporarily removed after his death, has been restored to its original spot on Main Street, U.S.A. It now bears a plaque with a quote that reflects Frank's spirit: 'Every day is my best day.' This sentiment, attributed to the New Century Historical Society, was one of Frank's favorites, capturing his positive outlook on life.
CEO Bob Iger and CEO-hopeful Josh D'Amaro paid tribute to Frank's legacy, expressing their condolences and highlighting his impact on the Disneyland experience. Their statements underscored Frank's daily presence and the joy he brought to guests.
The return of Frank's bench with a new plaque is a heartwarming gesture, inviting visitors to reflect on the life of a beloved individual. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of dedicated guests like Frank, who contributed to the magic of Disneyland. The plaque's quote, 'Every day is my best day,' encapsulates the spirit of positivity and appreciation that Frank embodied.
