I was watching a YouTube by Adam Rucker last night about things you may not know about Disneyland. In one segment, yhe points out a brick pattern behind the water foundain near the lockers. One part of the wall is normal and the other has a "wavy" look make of bricks of different sizes and shapes. He said that when they began to build Disneyland, they could not decide which brick to use, so they made a small section of different examples to select from. They did not change the wall, but rather let is remain as it does till now.

I'll admit, this seems a little odd since everything else has a strategic design to them, but at the same time what other explanation could there be?

Anyone else heard this?
 
Yes, I've heard this story. I've seen the wall too.
 

No photos yet, but I did find this by accident just now:

Disneyland Sample Bricks – When the park architecture was being planned, Walt Disney wanted variety in the appearance of the buildings. He decided that while the structures should resemble each other, the bricks used to construct them should differ. When you are walking down Main Street in the direction of the Castle, on your right you’ll pass an area with locker rentals. To the right of the lockers is a brick wall made up of all the different bricks that were considered for buildings, walkways and facades. Take a close look and you’ll notice every brick is different, some rough, some smooth, some wavy, and some irregularly shaped. When Disneyland was completed it was decided to leave the wall up. A fun family activity is to take rubbings of the most unusual bricks then to see if you can find each brick type as you walk through the park.
