Disney Legends Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company at Walt Disney’s Historic Mansion
On the evening of Monday, October 16, 2023, the Friends of Woking Way hosted an intimate gathering at Walt Disney’s historic Mansion to commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. Event coordinator Dusty Sage and publicist Jeffrey R. Epstein brought together a distinguished group of attendees, including Disney Legends like Tony Baxter, Bill Farmer, Bob Gurr, and Floyd Norman, along with Bret Iwan, Michael-Leon Wooley, John Stamos, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, and members of the Disney family.
[We’re celebrating] the fact that Roy talked his brother Walt into coming to California and that [their] Uncle Robert welcomed them into his home… and gave them the garage of his house when he saw that grandpa needed someplace to do his art,” said Walt’s granddaughter Joanna Miller. “Thank you so much for having this party, so we can be in this special place to thank Roy and Walt.”
During the event, guests savored delectable hors d’oeuvres provided by Well Done! Catering while mingling in the enchanting mansion that Walt Disney constructed for his family in 1932. The Disney family resided in this remarkable residence until 1950, a period during which the Disney team created iconic cinematic masterpieces such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, and Cinderella.
The evening’s program included a special tribute to the legacy of Disney, a sneak peek at the upcoming season of the “Wonderful World of Walt” shorts, skillfully crafted by Creative Capers. The celebration also featured a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday” in honor of Bob Gurr, who will celebrate his 92nd birthday next week, humorously noting that he is only eight years younger than the company itself.
“We put together this little soiree so we could do a proper celebration of the gentlemen who made the Disney company something we all love so much,” said event organizer and house historian Dusty Sage. “Here’s to Walt and Roy Disney—and all the people with us here today who are themselves a piece of Disney’s magical century.”
Dusty Sage – MiceChat
Guests had the opportunity to explore the historic mansion through guided tours and were treated to a soul-stirring performance of Walt’s favorite song, “Feed the Birds,” delivered by Michael-Leon Wooley. As a remarkable parting gift, attendees received a unique print of Walt Disney, drawn by Floyd Norman and autographed by both Norman and Bob Gurr.

Disney Cast Member Makes Positive Waves in Florida
Yesterday, Disney spotlighted the inspiring narrative of Danny Paltjon, a Walt Disney World cast member and the founder of Oceans of Hope Foundation. Danny is creating positive waves within his community in Florida, dedicating himself to establishing accessible spaces and organizing enjoyable activities for individuals with disabilities.
In 2003, after sustaining a spinal cord injury, Danny initially felt like his “world was over not being able to move anything.” However, he soon realized that this setback marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Motivated to empower others facing similar challenges, he founded Oceans of Hope—a nonprofit organization based in Florida that facilitates water activities like surfing and kayaking for individuals with limited or no mobility, ensuring safe and inclusive experiences.
Blending his passion for his organization with his love for Disney, Danny orchestrated a special event for his fellow cast members in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Nearly 30 Disney VoluntEARS and Oceans of Hope volunteers collaborated to provide an exclusive adaptive surfing lesson at Typhoon Lagoon for cast members, their friends, and families.
At Disney World, the commitment to inclusion and ensuring that all cast and community members feel seen, heard, and valued is evident. Recently, Disney World made a donation of $1.5 Million to 19 nonprofits, including the Conductive Education Center of Orlando and Limbitless Solutions at the University of Central Florida. These organizations empower confidence and enhance accessibility for children and adults with motor disabilities or limb differences.
For more information about the incredible cast members and the initiatives undertaken in Florida, one can visit DisneyFlorida.com.

Apart from Rise of the Resistance, guests can anticipate lower wait times for attractions like the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, Slinky Dog Dash, and the iconic Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
The character encounters are set to be a memorable affair. From meeting the classic duo of Mickey and Minnie Mouse to catching up with Edna Mode from “The Incredibles” or dancing with Powerline Max and the quirky duo Phineas and Ferb, there’s no shortage of festive fun.
Entertainment is the highlight of the night with exclusive shows. Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy lead a musical extravaganza at the Theater of the Stars. Fans of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” can sing their hearts out at the Hyperion Theater. And of course, the much-loved Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! will light up the night with its special effects and stunning projections.
