The Disney Legends program was established in 1987. Each year, the program recognizes individuals whose imagination, creativity, talents and dreams have created Disney magic.  The Legends Plaza at the Walt Disney Studios in beautiful Burbank, California was dedicated in October 1998 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. The plaza is an amazing place where visitor and employees can reflect upon those who have made Disney magic and history. 

I hope you enjoy this glimpse at a truly remarkable place.

Each Disney Legend, whether recognized posthumously or while living, are memorialized with their own bronze plaque. In the upper right corner is the plaque belonging to the beautiful voice of Snow White.

Annette Funicello, everyone’s favorite Mouseketeer

Dick Van Dyke – Bert himself!

Look at Ward Kimball’s plaque. Always a joker, check out how many fingers are on his hands… Also check out the company he keeps: Ollie Johnston, Marc Davis, and Frank Thomas

Hayley Mills and composer Buddy Baker and company

Fred MacMurray, the absent minded professor

Most near and dear to my heart, Cicely Rigdon, the woman who turned the Disneyland tour guides into an incredible and historic Disneyland institution. She is also credited with creating the Disneyland Ambassador program.
