Marty Sklar was hired by The Walt Disney Company after his
junior year at UCLA, and began his Disney career at Disneyland in
July 1955, the month before the park opened. He spent his first
decade at Disney as "the kid," the very youngest of the creative
team Walt had assembled at WED Enterprises. But despite his youth,
his talents propelled him forward into substantial responsibility:
he became Walt''s speech writer, penned Walt''s and Roy''s messages in
the company''s annual report, composed most of the publicity and
marketing materials for Disneyland, conceived presentations for the
U.S. government, devised initiatives to obtain sponsors to enable
new Disneyland developments, and wrote a twenty-four-minute film
expressing Walt''s philosophy for the Walt Disney World project and
Epcot. He was Walt''s literary right-hand man.
Over the next forty years, Marty Sklar rose to become president
and principal creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, and
he devoted his entire career to creating, enhancing, and expanding
Walt''s magical empire. This beautifully written and enlightening
book is Marty''s own retelling of his epic Disney journey, a grand
adventure that lasted over half a century.
