Originally, he had approached leaders of Walt Hilton and other hotel chains are well known, in hopes of convincing them to fund the construction of a first class hotel adjacent to Disneyland.

In 1954, Anaheim was a known community, largely composed of orange. The whole town had only seven small motels and hotels, with a capacity of only a total of 87 people. Wrather admitted at the time was a bit skeptical about building a small community (about 30,000), next to an amusement park still experimental and unfinished.

Wrather spent several days with Walt Disney, looking at the potential expansion area. Legend has it that Walt had tears in describing his dream of Disneyland Wrather. Wrather spoke for the first time to place it near the entrance to Disneyland. Walt said: “Jack, our customers will not think of a hotel when they begin their visit to Disneyland’ll start looking for a room directly through the park The best place to build your hotel is near the exit to Disneyland .. “. Wrather according to the logic of Walt and leased 60 hectares of land, owned by Disney in West Street opposite the exit of Disneyland. He built what became known as the “Official Hotel of the Magic Kingdom.”

On March 18, 1955, Jack Wrather, Bonita Granville Wrather (his wife), and Anaheim Mayor Charles Pearson, using a spade three, officiated at the ceremony of the Disneyland Hotel.

The Disneyland Hotel opened October 5, 1955, nearly three months after opening for live television Disneyland Grand July 17, 1955. The first guests registered in a hotel with only 104 rooms on five two-story complex, built at the southeast corner of the leased property. These are the rooms of the South Garden, later known as the oriental gardens. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Arnone of Inglewood, California, is the first guests at the hotel recently opened.

The Disneyland Hotel was the first major station to be built in southern California since the early 1940s. Created by Hodges and Vergrift Construction Company, this new addition is called the Garden Room of the North, later renamed The Garden Villas.

While construction began on the garden rooms further on the northeast corner of the property, construction was underway in the administration building, which house the rooms a lobby, restaurants, shops and assembly . The gourmet restaurant opened in a converted ranch house on the property, redesigned C. Tony Pereira. This ranch has become the management of Disneyland original building.

The original design of the hotel, by the architectural firm of Pereira and Luckman, called the 300-room motel rooms and hotel suites and garden apartments. There were also plans for three swimming pools, tennis courts, a golf course, bars and four restaurants. The original plans designated a total of 10 buildings to the east or south lawn garden section.

Richfield Oil (also a sponsor of Disneyland Autopia) offers complete car care. Even in the 1950s, each room was equipped with a TV and air conditioning. Even Walt must have been surprised by the huge success of his dream. Disneyland has proved all doubters wrong, and Disneyland was designed to make major changes in what had been a dream of the community, orange grove.

From the beginning, the Disneyland Hotel was one of the highlights of outstanding Orange County. Celebrities like Jack Benny, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Billy Graham, and Cary Grant are often seen at the hotel.

In 1960, Anaheim has become the largest city in Orange County with a population of over 100,000. As Walt had promised on the opening day, the park continued to add attractions (the Monorail, travel underwater and Matterhorn all opening in 1959), and the hotel has continued to grow, with over 300 rooms in 1960. A convention center of 13,000 square feet was also added at that time.

Time Walt had planned rapid transit system for major U.S. cities, and this addition to the monorail to provide a working model. Dick Nunis, who made his way from a summer job in 1955 to become president of Disneyland in 1980, testified that he saw Walt the monorail as more than attraction, Walt saw the transportation system aÊworkable. I wanted to show its potential for rapid transit in urban areas, and plans to extend the monorail to the hotel.

Monorail park was closed for construction on April 10, 1961. Disneyland Autopia was also closed to facilitate the installation of new towers in their motivations. The expansion cost was 1.9 million (500,000 dollars more than the original cost of the monorail at Disneyland when it was installed less than two years earlier.) Construction took more than 118,000 hours, 10,760 tons of sand, 66,700 bags of cement and 702 tons of steel. New style Mark II trains were introduced by the wide monorail train, including a new gold.

The hotel has announced its intention to annex de la Torre, an expansion of the existing tower, which now gives the 616-room hotel. An additional six conference rooms (for a total of 28) was added to the building. These conference rooms would be designed to accommodate 15 people to two thousand people.

Both had planned a course in the 1950s for the future of tourism and the Orange County Convention, which forever change the fate of Anaheim. Jack Wrather also succumbed to cancer in 1984.

Shortly after the death of Walt, Walt Disney Company began numerous attempts to acquire control of the hotel. Finally in 1988, 33 years after the original innovation, the Disneyland Hotel would become a part of the empire that Walt founded.

In a little over 11 years, the Disneyland Hotel had risen to 104 rooms and a handful of facilities in a resort with 616 rooms, spacious dining and shops, a golf resort complete, and a wide range of conventions and meeting rooms meeting. The hotel also has helped introduce a mode futuristic rapid transit in the form of the monorail, and the hotel has helped to change the agricultural economy of Anaheim before a tourist destination it is today.
