My hope is the return of a swanky top floor lounge/bar - I recall how excited my parents were to go there in the mid-sixties to ride the glass elevator to the bar to attend a private Christmas party. That was one of those moments of childhood where I looked forward to being able to do such "grown-up" things

Especially when the koi are seething.

My suggested new names for the towers:

Lohan Tower
Raven Tower
Hannah Montana Tower

Sigh - I'm missing the swank already. As I mentioned already, I still remember how cool the place was growing up in the 60's - it set a standard for the time, which sadly seems to have become commonplace. Still, the nostalgia runs deep for me - thanks original dh.

Hey original_dh, if you have any input can you encourage them not to follow the modern trend of super soft beds with 19-inch thick mattress pads? If I do ever stay there I'd like to not end up sleeping on the floor.

Just one reserved room with granite-like mattresses and I'd be happy. Or put select-comfort beds in each room.

Really, Kevy, that was quite the quibble. You might as well have pointed out the much more obvious that it wasn't the Hotel's monorail.

I bet that's not even their water in the waterfalls.

Let me rephrase this:

from

First west coast Hotel with its own radio station KEZY.

to
First West Coast Hotel with a radio station (KEZY) broadcasting on its grounds.

How's that?

Yeah, its a quibble, but most of the Disneyland discussions that occur end up boiling down to quibbles. And I'd say that the "first" part of this trivia only gains interest for it actually being the hotel's radio station.

Lacking that, it really isn't all that more interesting a bit of trivia than knowing where the first church with a radio station on the premises was. Or the first downtown high rise. Or the first whatever building type. And it isn't like it sparked a trend of hotels housing radio stations (so far as I know).

But it is interesting to learn that there used to be a radio station on the premises, which I did not know.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to make a big deal about it. Just the way I read it and was trying to make a clarification.

innerSpaceman · 05-22-2007, 12:29 PM

I don't so much care about the firsts. It's old, and there's bound to be a lot of firsts.

The book was great ... I enjoyed thumbing through it and checking out all the cool photos. I dig the story of the Disneyland Hotel .... alas, I've had to stop purchasing books I look through once and have no shelf room for.

In other words ...Sorry I put no money in your pocket, but I enjoyed your work. At least I didn't steal it over the internet.
