To me Walt and Roy O. are the ones that are responsible for building the base of what we enjoy today. They deserve statues. Others can be honored with windows.

I posted a thread about the following idea a few years ago. The partners statue should be moved outside of the park and have Walt face the MK, pointing in to the entrance. It makes a hell of a lot more sense this way. He is directing people inside. If it was a living image of him, he is also showing Mickey the future location of a theme park modeled after DL. Have that area of the hub finally completely open. Roy O's statue is ok where it is.

Are you all serious???
No one of you guys know that Roy actualy already have a statue named ''Sharing the magic'' in the MK?
''Sharing the magic'' at WDW Magic Kingdom
The ''plaque'' at the base of the statue
Like the ''Partners'' Statue of Walt and Mickey ''Sharing the Magic'' was sculpted by Blaine Gibson.
And I think Roy has all the right to be there... I mean, HE build the park after Walt's death.

Re-read the original post.

That's not a bad idea.. Why not on a bench with Donald outside Walt Disney: One Man's Dream?

Actually read the thread and then become disgusted with yourself instead of everyone else.
Not even read the thread. Just the title! Especially since they posted a pic of the plaque that says "Roy O Disney" and the thread title says "Roy E Disney".

Roy E. will forever have my gratitude and respect because he created Save Disney and helped oust Michael Eisner.
And he initially wasn't all that crazy about Bob Iger either. Iger managed to sweet-talk him though. Pity. You should have listened to your instincts, Roy...
Here's a very good article about him: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/remember-roy-e-disney-shi_b_3976548.html

Why not Diane and Sharon? They had more of a direct impact on at least one park by selling Retlaw's Disneyland attractions. That's more involvement than Roy E. had with the parks.

Ok now I look stupid!!
In my defense I'm not familiar with those middle name, this is not usual in french. My bad.
So to respond to the real question, No I don't think Roy E. Disney sould have a statue. He did great thing for the company, but he was not a visionaire like Walt or Roy O.

I think one of the more direct quotes is an interview clip from Waking Sleeping Beauty where he talks about the primacy of the film studio and how its output determined everything else and specifically names Disneyland.

LOL. Martin would win hands-down.
While I have a decent memory recall and know a lot of minutae that I've been exposed to, I'm closer to my roots as a librarian whereby I know where to find information, and how to find it quickly, rather than knowing everything off the top of my head.
