Trivia
- INA was the company that produced those nice free Disneyland guide books
for many years.
- A guest register used to lie open on the front desk of this service
center for anyone to sign. By 1973 it was put under the counter and
guests had to ask to be able to sign it.
- INA is still around, but in a different form: in 1982 they merged
with CG (Connecticut General Life Insurance) and combined the
letters of these two company acronyms into CIGNA. The history of
CIGNA and INA can be found at:
