Marty Sklar, Marty Sklar Creative – Disney Legend and Imagineering Ambassador
Marty Sklar began his Disney career at Disneyland in June, 1955 – one month before Disneyland opened. He was hired to create The Disneyland News, a tabloid newspaper sold on Main Street for 10 cents during Disneyland’s first summer. Two weeks after he started – at age 21 – Marty had to present the newspaper concept to Walt Disney. Fortunately, Walt liked it — and Marty says that’s why his career at Disney lasted 54 years.After completing his last year at UCLA, Marty returned to Disneyland’s publicity and public relations group in 1956. He moved to WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) in 1961 to work on shows for the New York World’s Fair 1964-65. For 10 years, until Walt Disney’s death in December, 1966, Marty wrote personal material for Walt, including his messages in the Annual Report and a 25-minute film that expressed Walt’s vision for Walt Disney World and Epcot.

Starting in 1974, for 30 years, Marty was the creative leader of Walt Disney Imagineering as Vice President, President and Vice Chairman and Principal Creative Executive. He retired as Executive Vice President, and Imagineering Ambassador. In August, 2013, Disney Editions published Marty’s book: “Dream It! Do It! My Half-Century Creating Disney’s Magic Kingdoms.”
