Don Ballard is the premier expert in the history of the Disneyland Hotel. What started as a hobby has produced two books looking at the hotel's changes over the years. In this episode, we'll talk with Don about the early days of the hotel and find out why Disney didn't actually own it until three decades after it was first built. Plus John, John and Shawn are playing armchair Imagineers as they design the next great Disney hotels.We'd love to hear from you!
