Wasn’t the 30th wedding anniversary party at the Golden Horseshoe also the time when Walt climbed over the balcony at the stage and shimmied down a pipe – and nearly gave everyone there a heart attack thinking he might fall?? I read that somewhere … Can you imagine… one of the most famous men on the planet at the time – falling while climbing down a pipe, right before the opening of Disneyland??? yikes …
Great memory! That does sound right to me. There are some great stories about the early days of Walt Disney and the parks.
I knew I saw it somewhere – on the d23.com site – that must have been a great time:
After their journey along the Rivers of America, guests gathered inside the Golden Horseshoe Saloon for a buffet dinner and to enjoy the musical talents and comedic antics of Wally Boag, Donald Novis, and the original Slue Foot Sue, Judy Marsh. But it was actually Walt who stole the show, leaning over a balcony and interacting with the performers. Climbing down onto the stage, Walt’s enthusiasm was met with eruptions of applause and calls for a speech.
What a wonderful tribute to an incredibly special person. My Family and I love these articles. Thank you for this and all other fantastic stories!
One minor (but important) correction. The late Martin “Marty” Sklar was not only a Disney Imagineer. He is also a Disney Legend and had a window at Disneyland. Just wanted to note the correction to spelling Marty’s last name.
Hi John, thank you for the comment and the positive nature. We are thrilled to keep you up to date with these. We try to balance moving quickly with getting all the great details like this into the story. Thank you for reading.
