Disney Legends
Walt Disney once said, "You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it takes people to make the dream a reality." Very special people — luminaries in the fields of music, journalism, art, performance, engineering and business — that dare to imagine and possess the skill and persistence to create those new dreams and worlds.
The Walt Disney Company honors those special few who best embody the Company's unique creative spirit, personified by its founder, as Disney Legends. Their names are memorialized forever on the majestic pillars in the Legends Plaza at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.
