San Francisco, CA, USA — Urban Planner and Community Engagement Specialist Sam Gennawey will host past Disney CEO and Museum Founder Ron Miller and architect David Price to discuss the innovative (and now-forgotten) year-round mountain resort that was one of Walt’s last major projects. This program gives context and detail to a destination resort project that Walt assumed was a fait accompli upon his passing, and explains the forces and opposition that led to its ultimate abandonment. Illustrated with rare images, art, photos, archival documents, and film clips; this program offers insight into Walt’s vision at the height of his final career phase.
The event will take place on January 21, 2012 at 3:00 pm in the Museum’s theater. For tickets or further information, visit the Museum website.
