The Disneyland Resort, commonly known as Disneyland, is an entertainment resort in Anaheim, California. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks and Resorts division and is home to two theme parks (Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure), three hotels, and a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex known as Downtown Disney.The resort was developed by Walt Disney in the 1950s. When it opened to guests on July 17, 1955, the property consisted of Disneyland, its 100-acre parking lot (which had 15,167 spaces), and the Disneyland Hotel, owned and operated by Disney's business partner Jack Wrather. After succeeding with the multi-park, multi-hotel business model at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Disney acquired large parcels of land adjacent to Disneyland to apply the same business model in Anaheim.During the expansion, the property was named the Disneyland Resort to encompass the entire complex, while the original theme park was named Disneyland Park. The company purchased the Disneyland Hotel from the Wrather Company and the Pan Pacific Hotel from the Tokyu Group. The Pan Pacific Hotel later became Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. The property saw the addition of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, a second theme park, named Disney California Adventure, and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining, and entertainment area.

Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160acre site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955.Since its opening, Disneyland has undergone a number of expansions and major renovations, including the addition of New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country (now Critter Country) in 1972, Mickey's Toontown in 1993, and the forthcoming Star Wars Land. Opened in 2001, Disney California Adventure Park was built on the site of Disneyland's original parking lot.
Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. The original components, designed by Adrian Wilson & Associates, opened in July 1967—including a basketball arena followed shortly by the convention hall. It holds many events, like VidCon, BlizzCon, Anime Expo, competitions, etc.The center has subsequently undergone five major expansions (1974, 1982, 1990, 1993, 1999–2000). It is the largest exhibit facility on the West Coast.HostingsOriginally, the arena was home to the Anaheim Amigos of the American Basketball Association during the first ABA season, 1967–68. The franchise relocated to the Los Angeles Sports Arena and became the Los Angeles Stars following the season. The team eventually moved to Salt Lake City and became the Utah Stars, capturing the 1970–71 ABA Championship. The Stars' subsequent fan support in Utah set the foundation for the NBA's Utah Jazz. The San Diego Friars of WTT played some of their home matches in the arena between 1975 and 1977. In 1978, the Anaheim Oranges of WTT used the arena as their primary home venue. The arena was also home to the California Surf of the NASL for one indoor season (1979–80).

Hi Everyone, I’m Kelly Rogers and this blog is hobby turned reality. I taught business courses at Chapman University in Orange, California for years, and absolutely fell in love with the campus and the surrounding area. Old Town Orange is home to the famous Orange Circle and freckled with craftsman homes and antique shops. This is where my love for antiques began to develop. Trading Post 1908 started out with a small physical location at Vintiques Home Decor in Orange, California where our found treasures were displayed for sale in a small booth. Before we knew it we expanded from one booth to five. However, we wanted to be much more than items for sale and that’s why the online store and blog was created. After brainstorming more ways to expand with my long-time mentor, Jennifer Kerstner, we decided to partner. Jennifer is already a successful business owner, running a market research firm, and we share a deep love for antiques and the stories they tell. We wanted to create an online space to allow buyers and sellers of anything vintage, antique and handmade to come together in a much more comprehensive way than just an online store. Mainly, we wanted to help small vintage, antique and handmade sellers have a place to successfully market and advertise their businesses. The name Trading Post 1908 comes from two ideas: First, while I was watching Frozen with my girls, I asked my 5-year old daughter what she would call the store. Just then, the movie played the scene of Princess Anna stumbling across a trading post in the forest. My daughter asked what a trading post was and it clicked. Since ‘trading post’ is pretty generic I needed to personalize it.My friend Brittany Deneauthought of 1908 because it is the year my Great Grandma (Grandma GG) was born. I proudly display many of Grandma GG’s family heirlooms in my house and Brittany took note of my love for family history. This was the beginning of Trading Post 1908.
