What does Mineral King, X Atencio, Winnie the Pooh, Marc Davis, and a Vacation Hoedown all have in common? None other than the Country Bear Jamboree… Well, The story goes something like this… In 1965, with Disneyland celebrating its 10th anniversary, the 1964-65 New York world’s fair a success – creating 4 attractions that would soon be relocated to Disneyland – and the land acquisition for the Florida Project secretly underway you would think Walt had his hands full, right? Wrong. When the Sequoia National Forest invited proposals for a ski resort in California’s Mineral King Valley, Walt Disney Productions including Walt Disney himself envisioned an “American Alpine Wonderland”. A Ski-Resort that would include a five-story hotel with over a thousand rooms, a movie theater, general store, pools, ice rinks, tennis courts, and golf courses not to mention the actual ski complex which would include 22 lifts and gondolas with ski runs four miles long. The complex would also feature 10 restaurants.

2017 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Disney Legends Award, and the opening of the D23 Expo featured the “Legends Ceremony” honoring the 10 newest Disney Legends representing film, movie, television, theater, animation, publishing and voice personalities.  For 2017, the inductees included: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oprah Winfrey, Stan Lee, and Garry Marshall among others.  Personally, I’m partial to the Imagineers, the people behind the Disney Parks…the people that “found a way to get it done”.  The final panel of the D23 Expo focused on the Imagineering Legends, and the newest being Wayne Jackson.  One of Wayne’s many accomplishments? Moving It’s a Small World from the 1964/65 NY World Fair to Disneyland!  It sounds easy enough, but how do you do that?  Where do you start?  Wayne found a way to make it happen; after all, that’s what Imagineers do…make it happen.  The panel was really a history lesson.   Hosted by John Stamos, yes the John Stamos, who has the “D” from the Disneyland sign in his back yard, (he might have been on television at some point too J) no doubt he is a Disney Nerd!  John was joined by Disney Imagineering Legends Tony Baxter and Marty Sklar.   The majority of the panel was a walk down memory lane with Marty and Tony reminiscing about their personal experiences with iconic Imagineering Legends…personal accounts of working with Walt, John Hench, Herb Ryman, Ken Anderson, Mary Blair, X Atencio, the list goes on and included personal stories outside of the parks.  It was a fascinating hour of history and storytelling from some of the best storytellers in the business.   At the time of this recording, there was no way of knowing that this would be Marty’s Sklar’s last public appearance.   Marty has been a Disney Imagineering Ambassador since his retirement from Imagineering in 2009.  Marty retired July 17th 2009 after 54 years of service, receiving windows on Disneyland’s Main Street.  Marty’s window reads “Main Street College of Arts & Sciences – Martin A. Sklar, Dean”.  Of course, July 17th is Disneyland’s Birthday, a fitting day to retire and get a window on Main Street USA.  Marty retired on Disneyland’s 54th Birthday with over 54 years with the company, starting as the editor of the Disneyland Newspaper one month before the park opened.  Marty is the only Disney employee to personally attend the opening of every Disney Park around the world. Marty, Thank You!  Thank you for the countless stories, the kind words you had for me during our brief encounter at D23 2017, and thank you for the autograph inside my copy of “One Little Spark” – I will always remember “Without a Story, You Have Nothing!”

Francis Xavier Atencio, known simply as X Atencio, is one of the true living legends of the early days of the Disney Company. He's responsible for such Disneyland greats as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. I'll tell you much more on this week's Word of the Week – X Atencio. He helped animate Monstro the Whale, created the Auctioneer Scene in Pirates of the Caribbean, and wrote two of the most famous songs in Disney history!

X Atencio began his Disney career in 1938 in animation, working as an assistant animator on “Pinocchio.” He went on to write dialogue for attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Submarine Voyage in Disneyland and El Rio del Tiempo in Epcot, among others. X also wrote songs for many of the … Continue reading Interview: X Atencio (Working in animation and writing for Disneyland and Disney World) →
