Disneyland Hotel 1970 Part 2
From the 1970 stay at the Disneyland Hotel. I really like the landscaping.
We BEGGED my dad as kids to stay here (we lived in Palos Verdes at the time). Of course it never happened. After I got married, many years later, one of the things I wanted to do was 1. Stay at the Disneyland Hotel and 2. Visit Santa's Village, which I'd passed a zillion times on the way to Lake Arrowhead to visit relatives.
The ONE time I was at and able to stay at the Disneyland Hotel, it was sold out because of a convention...
We didn't even bother to beg to stay there. My parents religiouly booked into the Peter Pan Motel. From '57 to '68. There was another dozen trips to D-Land before my wife and I finally stayed there in '92, '93, '95 and '96, which was a great trip. We did the early entry thing with about 20 other people the first week the Indiana Jones was operating. First one on the ride! Got a great shot of the castle with a mop bucket in front.

Maybe one of these days...
Ha, you managed to post something this morning! At 6 AM no less.
ReplyDeleteThe hotel building seen in the second photo is pretty typical of the day, but the landscaping is definitely lush and nice.
This is a nice place to visit. I hope I can visit in the future!
