Thanks for sharing these rare pictures. Really neat to see the old facilities, playgrounds included.

Sure miss the old Pre-Disney Disneyland Hotel. Next thing to go will be the (renamed) towers; then there won't be anything left from the old days...

Donald---

On the latest pics of the Coral Club...That original Garden Room Structure in the background was the one that housed a temporary video arcade circa 1981. I played there extensively that year while attending two conferences with my Dad.

The arcade would be to the far right from where the pictures were taken; in the last two (converted) rooms on the bottom floor if I remember correctly. The Atari Adventure would have replaced this location I think.

Thank you for your continued posting about this wonderful Hotel---I've got a ton of great memories from my times staying there.
