Dude, Hatter drives down to Yorkshire to get on the internets. They don't have those in Scotland, because there's no electricity yet.

That really is exciting. I would love to sit down with Mr. Sklar and listen to any single story he wanted to share with me. Now THAT is a meet and greet I would wait in line for.

[Bob Saget]

Holy ****! Who the .... is Marty Sklar?

Marty Sklar is the lead role played by actor Michael J. Fox in Back To The Future.

Or was that Marty McFly?

"Hello? Anybody home? Think, Sklar, think!"

Meeting Marty is one of two things on my "Unrealistic Disney Bucket List".

Correct! Why only last night I was outside getting fresh water from our wishing well and putting on my Tattie on the coal fire for my dinner.

Oh, well he is one of the best imagineers of all time who helped build every park except Disneyland and was a main designer of classics like the tiki room and its a small world. He is retired but also appointed a Disney legend.

i love Disney with a passion and the Imagineers but this is seriously the first time i'm hearing of this guy.

Then you are truly living under a Disney rock. Mary Sklar is the epitome of Disney legend.

Marty Sklar wrote the famous Disneyland opening day speech Walt read. That should tell you something about how much of a legend this guy is.

I have a hard time heaping tons of praise on Sklar after his role in the reaction to the changes that took place at "it's a small world" in Disneyland. He lied to and insulted some of Disney's and Imagineering's biggest fans.

Well after seeing some in the "other thread" you can't blame him. Did he really lie? Nope Did he insult? Nope. Just trying to get the message out before the crazy online Disney fans do.

 

[PlaneJane]

My Imagineering heroes are Bob "da man" Gurr and Marc Davis. Sklar is eh to me. He seemed to be a bit of a "do" boy.

Holy ****! Who the .... is Marty Sklar?

Marty called, he wants you to look him up.

 

[Patricia Melton]

Holy ****! Who the .... is Marty Sklar?

Saying "Who is Marty Sklar?" on a Disney fan site is like asking "Who is Barack Obama?" or "Who is Queen Elizabeth?".

Don't be surprised if people look at you funny and don't react well.

That's him on the left standing on the spot where Cinderella Castle is about to be built. One of my favorite photos.

 

[wdw71fan]

Only thing better would be seeing Walt Himself....... Creepy, but better.

 

[Donald96]

What about Neil Gallagher, how much of a legend is he? Just curious...
