Happy 60th Anniversary to the Plaza Inn! After a ten year lease with Swift’s Red Wagon Inn (Walt did not operate any of Disneyland’s “feeding operations” in the early years of the park), Walt remodeled the restaurant - notably with Disney Legends John Hench and Dorothea Redmond - and made the Plaza Inn his own. It made its debut as part of Disneyland’s Tencennial celebration. When the eatery opened, Walt insisted fried chicken be served. I love that it’s still offered all these years later. #eatlikewalt

Thanks to my pal, Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald, I was able to see the first show of Walt Disney: A Magical Life on Disneyland’s 70th anniversary ✨
A dream come true for this self-avowed geek! Not to mention the honor of watching it with Tom❤️

Many small celebrations for Disneyland’s 70th and this is one of my favorites! My pal, Sandi Baldwin, longtime Cast Member and VIP Tour Guide, spent ten years bringing this costume to life! (And much more Disney VIP Cast costume history that won’t fit in this post.)
Pictured with Sandi is a reproduction of a 1961-62 Winter VIP Hostess costume. Every detail is meticulous, including the shoes, purse and gloves.
This elegant time capsule is on display in the lobby of the California Grand Hotel. Brava, Sandi!
