Magazine Monday: Holiday Inn Magazine - August 1965

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Well, yes its been a little while since I've done a blog post, but not much has changed since 2017 right?  Daily blog's will not be occurring, but expect another one in a few days. 

From August 1965 it's Holiday Inn Magazine... For Today's Traveler.  This appears to be the magazine you'd find in your hotel room. 




Did You Know...



Neato (crane shot?) photo of the Castle and crowd.



Decent 5 page article here. Lots of stats of the Park and Anaheim.  The Big Head Mad Hatter is always unsettling. 





Peak employment at the park occurred in 1964 at 4,426! Up from 1300 in 1955.



Cool update on all of the additions in Disneyland's first 10 years.   Let's all meet at the Coffee Host, its Out of this world!



Sea World is just a baby in 1965.  The little island and amphitheater are still there, sort of (Link





And how about some neat vintage advertisements?  In 2025 things still go better with an ice cold Coke. 



Free MapQuest service from Gulf, with their gas stations clearly marked of course.



This is technically an article but its also technically an ad.



JFG, never heard of it, it appears to be a commercial brand that's still around (Link).

The back cover has these awesome pastel color safety strips. I just moved into a mid-century house and I have the exact same bathtub, tile and fixtures! 



I wonder if anyone will see this?   If so, stay tuned for more.
