No good history of Walt Disney Imagineering could be written without in-depth focus on Bill Martin’s career.
In 1953, while working at 20th Century Fox, Wilson E. “Bill” Martin received a surprise phone call: Walt Disney was seeking help to create his new theme park, Disneyland. Eager to expand his talent as an art director and set designer, Bill accepted the challenge. He went on to contribute to the designs of many attractions, including Sleeping Beauty Castle, Snow White’s Adventures, Peter Pan’s Flight, and more.
