When my gal pal and I saw this event posted on Charles' website, we knew we would have to go. What is there NOT to love about vintage Disney nostalgia supported by a very cool slide show?
We got ready and headed out to the Happiest Place on Earth. I wore a tiki dress knowing that we were having drinks at Trader Sam's after. The event took place at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. This hotel was modeled after The Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park located in California.
The main lobby of the hotel.
Right outside the ballroom where the slide show took place were displays of vintage
clothing and other sweet things. We hurried in as we were running late and met up with our crew just in time to see the show.
The show was a sweet collection of vintage family slides that Charles had found at thrift shops and estate sales. They were mostly of families from the 50's and 60's and took place at Disneyland. It was lovely to see how the park looked back then and how sharp all the people dressed. There were also some slides of the very cool MCM hotels and motels in the surrounding Disneyland area! We enjoyed it so much. When it was over we headed down to the Disneyland Hotel where Trader Sam's is.
Entrance to Trader Sam's
Inside is small but it is where the magic happens! If you can manage to scare up a seat I advise that you stay and enjoy!
The décor is very TIKI ROOM and besides all the fantastic drinks,
there are a lot of bells and whistles going on here. At first there were no seats in sight so we got some drinks and headed out to the patio!
Yummy!
We grabbed some grub and had a drink or two outside. Soon after that my husband let us know that bar seats were available and so we took this party inside!
Sitting at the bar, happy as clams!
The drinks continued to flow inside.
Then Volcanos started to erupt.......
and we got a little scared.....
But it was all in fun!
A great time was had by all at Trader Sam's!
We can not wait to return!
