Bring back the sign!There's a great discussion over on the laughingplace boards regarding a proposed hotel at the east entry to the Disneyland Resort.
While there are many logistical issues (most of which are easily solved by looking at what was done in Paris and Tokyo) I'm most intrigued by the potential theme of such a property. Many make the case for a Victorian themed affair. Me? I think Disneyland should tip its Mouse Ears to the Harbor Boulevard of old and build a Googie-inspired space age hotel.
Perhaps inspired by a local landmark?
Something clean, white, optimistic, and fantastical. Something that celebrates a purely-Southern Californian vernacular. Something that makes amends for mucking up the once-beautiful Tomorrowland '67.
Bring back the old Disneyland sign at that entrance, provide a backdoor into Tomorrowland for these hotel guests. Houston: I think we've got a winner.
