Saddened at the loss of Disney Legend and Imagineering Ambassador, Marty Sklar. I can't imagine so many Disney Parks attractions without his input and guidance. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time. #martysklar #imagineering #disneylegend (at Disneyland)

I just heard that Marty Sklar passed away. I was grateful enough to meet him at D23, he was such a lovely person. I am praying for his family and anyone who has ever been lucky enough to have Marty in there life. You will be missed by many and I am glad Walt gets to show you around his crazy theme park up in the sky. 💔🙏🏼 #martysklar #hesinabetterplace
DAY TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR - 7/28/17
“IMAGINEER: A SHORT TRIBUTE TO MARTY SKLAR” by DJS
Marty Sklar passed away yesterday. For those who don’t know, Marty was a mainstay at Walt Disney Imagineering and the Disney parks for over 50 years. For a good chunk of that time, he was President of Imagineering. By all accounts, he was an incredibly creative and inspiring person. He was even there working on opening day at Disneyland, with this short play dramatizing a moment from that day.
Acknowledgments must be made to a Vanity Fair article published today for the inspiration: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/07/marty-sklar-disneyland
RIP Marty Sklar.

Disneyland, July 17th 1955.
There is a feeling of general chaos, with Marty caught in the center trying to help a bunch of guests at once.

FESS
Hey kid!!
MARTY
Mister Parker, yes, uhhh, how can I, I mean what do you, can I be of—
FESS
Yeah, I gotta get backstage.
MARTY
Back—
FESS
The horse!
MARTY
What?
FESS
Quick! Before he hurts somebody! The horse!
MARTY
Oh. (small pause) Oh! Yeah, yeah…
FESS
Which way?
MARTY
Over here. Uhh, yeah, just let me try and clear a— Okay.
(to crowds) HELLO. EVERYONE? SORRY, CAN I—WE JUST NEED TO GET MISTER PARKER THROUGH HERE. HIS HORSE NEEDS A LITTLE WATER, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, A LITTLE DRINK. THEN WE’LL BE BACK OUT AND YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS— ALL THE PHOTOS YOU WANT, AUTOGRAPHS—IN NO TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THAT’S—
(to Fess) Right this way, Mister Parker.
(The crowd parts, making a path for Marty and Fess on the horse.)
FESS
‘preciate it, kid. And I’ll be sure to mention how you helped me out when I see the boss next.
MARTY
Oh, you don’t have to do that Mister Parker, I mean I was just doing my job—
FESS
A man with that much clout, who could single-handedly make your career, you can get on his good side, only a fool would pass up a chance like that. So just say thank you and leave it at that.
MARTY
Thank you, Mister Parker.
FESS
Thank you, uhhm…?
MARTY
(pointing to his nametag) Marty. Marty Sklar, sir.
FESS
Marty. Well, good luck. And welcome to the Walt Disney Company.

Another sad loss for the themed entertainment industry and the world as we say good bye and farewell to Marty Sklar, International Ambassador for Walt Disney Imagineering and long time Imagineer. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him and anyone who ever ever touched by his work. With his passing another finite thread of imagination has left the world. Thank you Marty, for all the joy your brought and shared with us, we miss you already. #disney #imagineering #martysklar #wdi
