Yeah, I miss those signs. It's not as if the buildings aren't eyesores in and of themselves. The signs detracted from that, rather than drew your eye to the fact of their 60's boxness. IMO, that is. As I understand it, though, it was some sort of Anaheim requirement and not a Disney choice. Not sure if that's correct, 'cause I don't find it credible.


The hotel could sure use some beautifying. The lobbies of the towers are as plain wrap as possible. The Bonita lobby was recently refurbished ... to pleasant blandness.



With Granville's recently changing its name to Steakhouse 55 ... I wouldn't hold my breath for any recognition of Wrather, beyond a hidden plaque somewhere.



Whatever happens, for god's sake, save the Waterfalls!

We are losing our history, bit by bit.

Yes, you are correct. The city of Anaheim had some law on the size of signs atop buildings. I guess they over-looked the law for years until other establishments complained it was unfair.

Yes, I believe I have a huge uphill battle for any recognition to Mr. Wrather. I just know after talking with his kids how important the Hotel was to him and how much he loved the place and not to mention Walt Disney, if he were alive today would agree, they need to acknowledge Mr. Wrather for what he did for his friend. You know, I would even pay for the cost of creating some sort of acknowledgement. I will not give up!
