"The [Disneyland] Hotel Resort also was home to the Seaports of the
Pacific, a complex of shops and arcades, together with a wide variety
or restaurants but today it is undergoing a major reconstruction. The
old lagoon and paddle boat area is being transformed into Neverland, a
lush tropical/evergreen area of lagoons, islands, waterfalls and more.
This is scheduled to be completed by mid-summer '99, but is slightly
behind schedule at this time. Look for this new area on your next trip
to Disneyland. Among the changes, the old Shipyard Inn (seafood
restaurant) will be Hook's Pointe, still seafood but themed to the
area. Other theme changes will occur throughout the general area, and
when completed, it should be beautiful and far more Disney-esque than
the old nautical theming of this centerpiece of the hotel complex."

There are a few image links from Seaports of the Pacific about 3/4 way
down this page:

These images are likely from its "discounter" phase in the 90's.
"At the DL HOTEL DL often takes over the SEAPORTS OF THE PACIFIC shop
and turns it into a clearance center. BALOO'S BARGAINS, as it's
currently known, is filled to the brim with Hunchback and Electrical
Parade overstock at 50% off right now."

Also, the shop, and the mall/arcade are often found mentioned in
Disneyana brochures. Check auctions to see if any are currently 'on
the block.' There may be "images for sale" in some of them. Here's a
Google Cache page, showing a completed auction with a Disneyland Hotel
brochure with references to Seaports of the Pacific:

Hope this helps :)
