Oh, and welcome to the boards.

That's all.

I do not see the room sizes being affected. What will be affected is the overall look of the Disneyland Hotel.

I hated to see the large Disneyland Hotel signs at the tops of the Sierra and Marina Towers come down. I sure do miss the original Disneyland Hotel.

Me too! And it is decisions like this that make me suspicious for the future.

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!

Thanks for sharing your info with us original_dh (or at least what you're allowed to share). And may I second the "welcome to LoT". Grab a cocktail, pull up a comfy chair - and read the entire Soooo... thread.

Welcome aboard. Always good to have a new voice!

Isn't that part of the agreement when new people sign up?

Well, good luck in your Wrather recognition efforts. Let us know if there's any petitions to be signed, picket lines to be formed, or manager's offices to be occupied.
