Description
'One of the key themes of this book (and of Disney as a whole) is the power of imagination and
the motivation to follow your dreams. Marty clearly believed this and allowed creativity and wonder
to guide the design process of Disney World and Epcot. When corporations doubted the
marketability of Walt Disney's vision and projects, Marty refused to let their doubt weigh him and
his team down. He also became well known for Mickey's Ten Commandments-timeless rules for
capturing your audience's attention and creating a sense of wonder and magic in them-where
knowing your audience, telling one story at a time, and maintaining a clean and professional
appearance are ingredients to success. Marty completed an initial draft of Travels with Figment but
sadly passed away before he could properly finish it. One of the most touching chapters in the
book is a series of personal tributes from several longtime friends and colleagues. You can sense
the love, respect, and gratitude they have for Marty from reading their messages of appreciation.
He was more than a boss at Disney: he mentored aspiring dreamers, maintained friendships that
went beyond business and money, and shared his wisdom and experience with countless others.
In a way, Marty Sklar truly embodied the values of Walt Disney's legacy: creativity, friendship,
inspiration, and storytelling. Travels with Figment captures a little of this magic.'―Rotoscopers

more Marty Sklar was a student at UCLA and editor of the Daily Bruin student newspaper in 1955
when he was recruited-a month before Disneyland opened-to create The Disneyland News, a
'small town' newspaper that would be sold at the park on Main Street for ten cents. After
graduating in 1956, he joined Disney full time as a member of the Publicity Department at
Disneyland. Walt Disney told Marty he had 'something more important' in mind for him, and in
1961 Marty was moved to WED Enterprises-the forerunner of Walt Disney Imagineering-where he
worked on attractions for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Marty took on this role while also
writing personal materials for Walt Disney for use in publications, on television, and in special
films, including the important film introducing Walt's vision for Walt Disney World and the EPCOT
project. After Walt's passing in 1966, Marty became instrumental in making Walt's vision a reality.
By 1974, Marty, as vice president of concepts and planning, guided the creative development of
EPCOT Center (now Epcot).For another three decades, Marty remained the creative leader of
Walt Disney Imagineering. He served as Vice-president, President, and Vice Chairman and
Principal Creative Executive during the design and construction of nine of the twelve Disney parks.

Marty was named Imagineering Ambassador in 2006 and he retired on July 17
