I don't know if I can do one of these daily, and it may be moved to another section, I don't know but here we go anyway - An historical post to read, enjoy, and hopefully spark discussion.

Feb 19 - On this day in 1958, Disneyland won a court action forcing the nearby "Wonderland Hotel" to change its name, and remove a sign depecting a Walt Disney Studio "character" (the original newpaper account never mentions which one) Disneyland's claim at the time was that the hotel's name led people to believe it was associated with the park. (The Disneyland Hotel itself was still a year away from being opened)

Does anyone remember where this hotel was?
