Vintage 1970s Disneyland Hotel Channel 6 In-Room Guest Services Footage 

I believe that was my mom dancing the Tahitian dance at the end of the video. Victorine Tepiu Richmond, one of the first immigrants to come to Anaheim from the islands of Tahiti with my father, Max Richmond. So beautiful to see this footage of her doing what she loved, it’s been 11 years since she passed, and my father passed in 2006. Such fond memories of them and I’m happy to see she lives on in this video. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤

I worked security at the DLH, I walked every inch of that place, it was truly amazing! I miss it so much! My daughter and I loved going there on the weekends, great memories.

That was back when America was just grand, in every way. So many magnificent memories.

What a gem. So awesome to see the restaurants and grounds.

Fantasic footage, Don. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing. Seeing this makes me so sad of the current state of the DLH. You used to have such a wide array of activities, restaurants, and other things to do at prices that weren't as bloated as today's. Can't believe it's $600-800 a night and they're still cutting amenities like restaurants and such. Thankfully we've got our memories and videos like this.

Great memories! The first time I went to Disneyland was as a kid. I was in 5th grade and my family just moved back to the States. That first time on Main Street, that first ride on Pirates of the Caribbean, that first stay at the Disneyland Hotel…all magic. I remember my mom thought the Juliette balcony in our wasn’t safe for kids. The monorail ride from the hotel to the park was a memory I treasure. (Yes, we had paper tickets in a booklet!) Now, of course, it’s a one-bedroom DVC villa at the Grand Californian. 👍

Stayed there with my parents and another's friends family over Thanksgiving weekend during that period!

This is great, especially hosted by Bonita herself. The Wrathers really trailblazed the model of what modern theme park resort hotels ( and even some non-theme park ones ) do today. We never stayed there, but as a kid my family always made point to stop into the hotel if our travels took us through Anaheim. It was like a free theme park on it's own. The 70's and 80's were definitely the heyday but the 90's will be the version I remember the most; the jungle cruise remote control boats, the underwater arcade, Sgt. Preston's had just turned into the Neon Cactus, and the waterfall cavers were still free for people to walk at night, just before the lawsuit that ruined it for everyone. Watching this I could have sworn that was Mr. Bean making a cameo at 5:12 but I guess not.

Bonita! Good to see you. Bonita tower will always be named after you for me. Now it is just not the same. ;(.

Wow! Seems better then

So awesome and totally the era I grew up in, much happier and carefree time.

Thank you Donald. I so miss this. It was a special treat when we got to go to the resort when I was young. ❤

My sisters stayed there during that time. Wish I had had that opportunity.

I ❤ this! Love vintage Disney!

I loved going over there and wandering around and eating at the restaurants.

Fun to see these restaurants again.

Fond memories of the Disneyland hotel

Just watched the Behind the Attraction on the DLH today! Great stuff !!

Wild that you have this

The music is Outdoor Life #4 followed by Outdoor Life #1. Both are from the Capitol Records Media Music and Hi-Q lines. The latter was in the Autopia grandstand queue at Disneyland and the WEDway PeopleMover at WDW. Both were in the Superstar Limo queue at DCA. They are from Media Music Release No. 7 MEGS-8 or Hi-Q reel L-163/164

I miss that marina. Dancing Waters as well.

Who dresses up in a suit and tie to sail a paddle boat? (5:10). That made me laugh. Anyway, I'm a Southern California resident. I never go down to that area unless friends from out of town insist to go there. They now milk your bank account dry for everything. Who can I write to put the place back the way it was? :/

You know it's fascinating that except for the name, no reference whatsoever is made to Disneyland; how the cafe is perfect for breakfast before heading off to the park, or the monorail station, or for that matter the monorail bar. Maybe it was in another segment as part of the hotel channel? Or maybe it was deliberate.

Even the man in the paddle boat is wearing a suit and tie! How things have changed!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful footage!

Wow 🤩 a window into the past

love the rough editing.

luxury hotel dan resort... ❤❤❤

What waterway was the marina linked to? Too bad it's gone now. Seemed awesome

Now let me get this straight. Breakfast, lunch AND dinner! Get out of town! 😂

I haven’t been to this hotel in a decade, hope it’s not altered even more! There’s still some 60’s touches the last time I was there.

Miss the marina.

I can see now what Disney Springs was modeled after to some degree in terms of restaurants and layout.

I wish this hotel existed today for adults and couples coming to Disney and don’t want the theming!

Bonita Granville? I thought her name was Nancy Drew!

Wish I could have stayed there

This is amazing!

Monorail Cafe

I like Disneyland hotel back in the old Days

I worked at the radio station, KEZY, at the Disneyland Hotel. I’m surprised they didn’t put Top of the Park in the video. It had a great view.

Wait, what about that nightlife she teased...don't leave me hanging.

In every shot she has a different outfit on 😂. I love it

I think she is standing in front of what is now tangaroa terrace.

So how did you get this?

Do they still have a Marina?

I wonder how old she is. Did she smoke a lot?

C.g.i and modern technology destroyed Disneyland and woke !
