[Brian]

The Walt Disney Family Museum is reporting that Disney Legend Marty Sklar has passed away.

Thank you Marty, for all those "little sparks" of inspiration you brought to the Disney parks.

My heart is heavy tonight. Got to meet the legend and hear him talk with passion about the Parks and Mr. Disney. My favorite story is how Disneyland Sleeping Beauty castle, the top part is rotated...

Truly will be miss

Sad to hear.

A true loss. Glad he got to write his book. I was surprised to see him at multiple D23 panels, still sharp as ever. A legend who literally gave the Walt Disney we came to know his voice.

Saw him at Epcot's 30th. Gonna miss his wisdom and ideas.

no way - he's like the last link to the first generation of WDI, isn't he?

OMG He will be very missed though never forgotten!

Will always remember his interviews in the Disney park documentaries. RIP Marty

My goodness. Just reading this now from the BoardWalk after our first day back on property since April. Heartbroken but there's no better way to celebrate his legacy than to visit the world he helped create.

Rest In Peace Marty... praying for the Sklar family. Can't believe I was already getting excited to see him for the first time at D23 Expo in 2019.
