Palm Motor Lodge


Located two miles North of Disneyland on Harbor Blvd, the Palm is a survivor indeed. The motel predates the Magic Kingdom but managed to corral it's share of visitors, including Doris Huffman of North English Iowa. She arrived by bus and stayed a week before making her way home via Canada. This was back in August 1961. Today's modern guests are more of the extended-stay, down-on-their-luck types. Here's how she looked on June 20th, 2007:


If you're in the mood for a swim in the heated pool, you'll need a time machine:

HEY, BRO-------THANKS FOR DOING THE TAGUS POSTING!!! I REMEMBER IT AS A HUMMING PLACE IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES HEADING DOWN TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM WITH MOM AND DAD AND ALL OF YOU. THE FLY-CASTING POND PIC WAS GREAT. YOU MUST'VE LINED-UP THOSE WILLOWY PALMS IN THE BACKGROUND TO LOCK THAT ONE IN. OH, THE LAST THREE PICS OF THE PALM MOTOR LODGE DIDN'T ZOOM??--G
