More Disneyland Hotel

It's time for even more November 20th, 1980 photos from the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel - photos taken by Lou Perry, and scanned and shared with us by his daughter, Sue B. It's hard to believe that these are over 45 years old!The Marina was built in 1970, and changed the look and feel of the Hotel in a major way - it's fairly incredible that they devoted so much space to this miniature "ocean". But I love a good water feature. Especially a swamp; I told Jack Wrather that people want to see smelly swamps full of alligators and snakes and nutria, but he had other plans. FINE! It's hard to get a sense of scale, but those boats look kind of teensy - maybe they were built at 5/8 scale? I also wonder how deep the water is in the Marina - my guess is that it is several thousand feet deep. There were giant squid and gulper eels at the bottom.The next two photos were taken from what looks to be a 5th or 6th-floor height, presumably where Lou's room was. He had a nice view of the Marina!…
