It's difficult to get an image like this
in your inbox and not want to jump in your car and head straight to Palm Springs. I got an email from a friend and photographer David Zaitz last week vaguly mentioning a new rental pad he had been working on. A mid century rental? in Palm Springs? He forwarded photos and I started panting like a puppy - it's my sad reality to foam at the mouth over something like this, but I haven't had a real vacation this year I'm tired and frazzled. Just what the doctor ordered!
as I cruised through the specs I got more excited...3 bedrooms, 2 baths, HD TV [hey, I haven't splurged for a flat screen yet this is exciting], oooh memory foam mattresses we've been wanting to try those too, potential skinny dipping opportunities. THIS, could be oodles of fun. At $395 a night starting this weekend [November rates] it definitely will require friends to accompany so skinny dipping might be out but still really affordable between three couples or a bunch of friends.
check out the full house tour even if you're not a rental-type person because this is midcentury puppy love. I mean how can you not LOVE the people mover poster-please already!

@richie rich: Many thanks!
The cool Disneyland posters are only available at Disneyland, as far as I can determine. I got mine at the Disney Store at Downtown Disney (the free retail area adjacent to the Disneyland entrance). Inside is a self-serve kiosk where you can browse/order posters. Once you pay for them, they output them on-site (which can take up to 1 1/2 hours if the store is busy).
They have many vintage posters available for output at a couple different sizes. Other cool attraction posters include the Monorail (my fav) and the Skyway-- but they have tons more.
Good luck!
Thanks post&beamer! Do you remember waht you paid for them?
@post&beamer: Awesome - thanks for sourcing that poster.
Now...when will I make the trek to Anaheim...
I can't remember for sure, so don't quote me, but I think the largest poster (shown in photo) was around $85. It is printed onto a fairly heavy paper that feel like a good-quality archival medium.
The posters are available on line from here:
