Join me for a trip through the World's Most Exciting Hotel. This blog covers the evolution of the Disneyland Hotel through the Wrather years, 1955 to 1989. Hope it brings back some wonderful memories.

New photos
I am uploading several photographs received from Molly Wrather Dolle, the eldest daughter of Jack Wrather. Molly and Jack Jr (deceased) were the children of Jack and his first wife Molly O'Daniel who herself was the daughter of former Texas Governor, W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel. Jack Wrather was of course, the original owner of the Disneyland Hotel along with Helen Alvarez and Jack's mother Mazie. Hope you like these pictures. Jack would later (1947) marry actress Bonita Granville which would produce two more children Linda and Christopher. Chris wrote the introduction to my book on the history of the Disneyland Hotel. http://www.magicalhotel.com.
Donald,
ReplyDeleteI just go two copies of your book yesterday! I am so excited to start reading it.
Where did you get them? Thanks for the purchase and I really hope you like the book.
ReplyDeleteI too have your book and am glad to see that you're supplementing it with the blog.
ReplyDeleteVery much looking forward to seeing more and getting to know the old place better.
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
