#012 Bob Gurr - Interview with a Disney Legend and Imagineer

<p>In this episode I interview Disney Legend and Imagineer Bob Gurr about his incredible career working for Walt Disney. We discuss Bob's early life as a young boy through his time at WED Enterprises working directly for Walt Disney on the construction of Disneyland. Bob is often quoted as saying..."If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, I probably designed it."</p> <p>That quote is quite accurate considering Bob's impressive resume as designer of such iconic attraction ride vehicles as: the Monorail, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Disneyland Fire Engine, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride cars, and the OmniMover ride vehicle system, which appears most notoriously in the 'Doom Buggies' Haunted Mansion ride vehicles. </p> <p>Bob is not only a Disney Legend, his career is legendary but it did not end when Bob officially left Disney in 1981. In fact, Bob not only continued to work as Designer for many years after leaving Disney, he is still working today! </p> <p>Be sure to check back for a Part 2 of this podcast interview in which Bob and I will further explore his time at Disney and beyond. </p> <p>You can learn more about Bob Gurr and his incredible life by visiting: </p> <p>BobGurr.com </p> <p>Bob also conducts Bus Tours in Southern California of historic and iconic locations that are significant to Walt Disney history. You can learn more about these incredible WaltLand Tours by visiting:</p> <p>WaltLand.com</p> <p>Be sure to follow The Finding Walt Disney podcast here to keep up to date on future episodes. </p> <p><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/findingwaltdisney">facebook.com/findingwaltdisney</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/findingwaltdisneypodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/findingwaltdisneypodcast/</a></p> <p><a href= "https://twitter.com/disneypodcast23">twitter.com/disneypodcast23</a></p> <p>Thank you for listening!
