Desert Inn Disneyland Itinerary - 1962

Let’s take a mini vacation in 1962 at the Desert Inn, Anaheim California. It looks like a great place doesn’t it? A Heated Pool (with TWO slides!), phone, TV, A/C and Soundproofing? How cool are those lights on top of the chain-link fence?





The Desert Inn has prepared this fine Itinerary of Disneyland for our use and enjoyment. I just dialed (714) PR2-5050 and the guy answered “Desert Inn Anaheim, how may I help you?” – Wow - talk about time travel!

There are a few typos but it lends to the authenticity of using a typewriter in 1962 instead of Word2010. Free diapers, really? NO SITTERS THO! 25¢ to board and feed my dog, outrageous! What’s the “America Information Center”?





The accompanying ticket books from October 1962 are naturally devoid of tickets – evidence of a good time had by all.







The attraction list with Tinkerbell favoring Tomorrowland (me too).






Well what do you know; the tickets might be all gone but they left us a little trace. 2 A’s, 2 B’s, 3 C’s, 4 D’s and 4 E’s, yup, that’s 15 alright.
