The end of Route 66 in Santa Monica ?
None of those. I thought at least one person on here would have guessed by now.
Disneyland at Anaheim
last guess !
sunset strip? (start or end)

Someone is right. But I refer back to the original question of where exactly is it and what is it said to signify?
Without sounding bug headed, I'm goi g to assume Tinks is referring to me as the one who hasn't guessed yet, so that leads me to either}
Is it California Adventure, something to do with the World of Colour area?
Or is it part of the parade route marking/HSM rally thing?

Yes Neil I am referring to you. You wanted a Disney pic so I obliged. You still haven't got the right answer though.
The spot at which Walt dug the first earth out of the ground at Disneyland?
We can get better, because we're not dead yet
The exact centre of Disneyland as originally built?
Oh, I can't remember it exactly, but it isn't where Walt first dug, but it is something like Taurus has said, the supposed centre of Disneyland, but isn't that not true though. I'm sure I remember something said about it when we did our KTTK tour at WDW last year.
Judging the debate on several forums, the logical suggestion is it's just a survey marker to align the centre of Main St with Sleeping Beauty's Castle. 
A quick google gives:
In the courtyard, just behind Sleeping Beauty's castle, there is a brass spike driven into the ground. It is not marked. This was the exact geographical center of Disneyland before expansion.
.....................
The brass spike is there but it's no longer the center of Disneyland, not since Toontown was added.
...............
When you walk through the castle toward the carrousel if you look down right as you come out that gold thing in the ground, it's a rail road spike, is actually the very center of the park before ToonTown opened. It's usually overlooked as a pole hole like the ones in Main Street used for the parades.
......................
On the Fantasyland side of the main archway of Sleeping Beauty's Castle there is a copper colored stake that has been driven into the ground. This copper stake is the exact center of the Disneyland park.
...........................
this is a popular notion (often perpetuated by cast-members). However, it is neither the center of the park nor is it a spike. It's a survey marker. This particular one designates the centerline of Main Street. As far as the park center is concerned; using the DLRR as a perimeter boundary the 1955 center would have been located nearer to the central plaza, a few meters west of where the 'Partners' stand today.
........................
If you walk directly in the to Sleeping Beauty's Castle, look down and you can see a spike. It marks the exact center of Disneyland.
Seems some confusion .................
But that photo doesn't seem like a brass spike....
