The Grand Hotel was located in this position, namely, to the right of the Matterhorn when viewed from the Fantasyland Skyway station. Disneyland acquired title to the hotel for $13.3 million in April 1996. The hotel was demolished on March 22, 1998 and the 11-acre site is now just a parking lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-84296745893588567312008-09-25T15:21:00.000-07:002008-09-25T15:21:00.000-07:00Hello Major---The bucket close-up shows the soon-t...Hello Major---The bucket close-up shows the soon-to-be Grand Hotel under construction I believe. <BR/><BR/>It was imploded around 1999 (I have a film clip around here somewhere).<BR/><BR/>Dave---Another in your long line of great daily posts...

It's something rare these days, unless they are visiting from another country. The nuns always were the silliest, and were more like children when it came to Disneyland.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-71624721710429869372008-09-24T11:30:00.000-07:002008-09-24T11:30:00.000-07:00Oh, how I still miss the Skyway!
