More Disneyland Hotel - November 20, 1980

Let's continue to enjoy a series of November 1980 photos taken around the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel by Lou Perry. His daughter Sue B. scanned them for us! The last post featuring images from this batch was in October, so it's been a while. 

It looks like this is another view of the Sea Port of the Pacific (at least I think it is), where you could order a deep-fried whale. Don't worry, just a little whale! Ask for extra dipping sauce. Lou has gotten artistic on us, with the cool bluish pine branches contrasting with the warm sunlit wood of the SPotP.

Here's a nice view of the Marina Tower. Like Town Square at Disneyland, they had armaments "just in case". A pair of guests are enjoying the view from their third-floor room, and they're thinking of throwing a paper airplane or two.

Hey! It's the SPotP again! It's nice that they made an effort with the landscaping, it appears that there might have been a babbling brook, for its pleasant sound and sparkling water. Or was it just a pond full of Vampire Koi? They'll leap out of the water and latch themselves to your neck! Why did they put them there in the first place??

I wonder if this was the view from Lou's room? He's also got paper airplanes on his mind, it's only natural. "I'll put a small paper clip near the front to add some weight, for stability!", he thought to himself. We can see some of the actual marina, though it is in shadowy darkness. There's what looks like some sort of cable car or trolley, I'm not sure if it's a genuine antique or a simulacrum. There's a mysterious colorful yurt to the left of the trolley.

I think it's safe to say that Lou liked the look of that Seaport of the Pacific. Maybe he appreciated the way the setting sun changed the colors and overall atmosphere? No Vampire Koi would dare to mess with him.

There are more Disneyland Hotel photos to come, with thanks to Lou and Sue!
