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 on the Blog
Just wanted to add some new photos tonight at the request of Walterworld. I've said many times, if I know people like these, I will continue to post. Tanks WW for posting comments and requesting more posts. It's nice to feel wanted!!! :)
Thanks for the new pictures! Rest assured that your posts are enjoyed and appreciated...
I remember watching the Dancing Waters show from our Marina Tower balcony. While my older brothers were in the park at night, I would usually be back at the room with my parents (room service---YUM).
Q: Where exactly was the Crown & Pillow Pub? And do you know if the Sailmakers Den was in the same location as the current Wine Cellar?
Great pictures, bringing back very fond memories. Couple of questions I thought I'd ask figuring you may know. Didn't Jack Wrather own the Inn at the Park? I believe it is a Sheraton now. I can't find a lot of information on that. I thought I heard that in the early '70s they were talking about extending the monorail to that hotel as well. Do you know if this is true? When I went to Disneyland in the '80s as a college student visiting with friends I stayed at the Inn at the Park. Couldn't quite afford the Disneyland Hotel, but always hung out there. Also, one other thing I thought i'd read was that there were some luxury suites in the main building of the hotel. From what I read they overlooked the pool. Do you know anything about those, or have any pictures. Keep the good work with your sites. The Disneyland Hotel truly was a magical place.
We love the Disneyland Hotel posts. Keep 'em coming.
