1. I was known for my musical contributions not only to Disneyland but to Disney films and television as well. In film I scored the music for "Napoleon and Samantha" in 1973, earning an Oscar nomination. I composed the music for "The Mickey Mouse Club" on TV. For Disneyland I co-wrote the theme for the Haunted Mansion, "Grim Grinning Ghosts", and I am responsible for scoring the "Innoventions" attraction. I retired from Disney in 1983. Who am I? Buddy Baker X Atencio Robert Sherman Richard Sherman

2. I was trained in art at the Chicago Institute of Art and worked for MGM when I met Walt Disney. Walt was so impressed by my work he invited me to join his studio and eventually I served as the art director for "Fantasia" and "Dumbo". I spent an entire weekend with Walt Disney in 1953 sketching the concept art for Walt's idea of "Disneyland" in order to show the financer’s what it would look like. They must've liked it, because they funded the park's development. Who am I? Peter Ellenshaw Bill Justice Sam McKim Herb Ryman

3. My voice can be heard throughout Disneyland on many different attractions. Most notably, my voice and face can be found in the Haunted Mansion, where many guests mistake my image for that of Walt Disney himself. With my quartet, the Mellomen, I sang in many Disney pictures, including "Lady and the Tramp" and "Cinderella". Oh, and outside of my Disney work, I was also the voice of Tony the Tiger -- "They're GREAT!" Who am I? Thurl Ravenscroft Pete Renoudet Dick Nunis Jack Wagner

4. I love a challenge! A retired Navy Admiral, I was asked by Walt to oversee the construction of Disneyland, and later I was responsible for planning and building Walt Disney World. I'm one of the few men to hold the title of Chairman of the Board for WED (Walter Elias Disney) Enterprises, and a harbor on the Rivers of America is named for me. Who am I? Jack Lindquist Marc Davis Card Walker Joe Fowler

5. The first female Imagineer, I was hired by Disney the same year Disneyland opened, 1955. I worked on many of the audio-animatronics attractions, including "The Haunted Mansion" and "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln", and I was responsible for the design of all of the singing birds in the "Enchanted Tiki Room." I also designed many of the figures for Storybook Land. Who am I? Alice Davis Betty Taylor Mary Blair Harriet Burns

6. I was a voice actor for Disney and other studios for many years. I was the primary voice of Ludwig Von Drake during the 60's and 70's, but my most famous work can be found in Disneyland. I am the voice you hear when you hear these words: "Welcome foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host; your Ghost Host." I'm also the voice you hear in "The Pirates of the Caribbean": “And mark well me words, mateys -- dead men tell no tales....” Who am I? Dallas McKennon Clarence Nash Sterling Holloway Paul Frees

7. If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, I probably designed it. My Disney career started as a consultant for the Autopia, after which I was hired full-time as an Imagineer and helped design such attractions as the Monorail and the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world, the Matterhorn Bobsleds. After my Disney career I helped design the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics and the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. Who am I? Ward Kimball Bob Gurr Rolly Crump Tony Baxter

8. My time with Disney and my influence on the company may be less than any other legend. I was actually a "cast member" (employee) of Disneyland from the time I was 10 until I was 18. I studied the comedy routines Wally Boag at the Golden Horseshoe and worked in the Magic Shop for 3 years. Since my Disneyland career I've gone on to perform as a comedic and sometimes dramatic actor in many movies, including the Disney films "Father of the Bride" and "Bringing Down the House". Who am I? Steve Martin Bill Murray Danny Glover Jim Carrey

9. An artist by trade, I worked for the Disney Company on the feature "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and am credited with the design of the submarine Nautilus. My Disneyland claim-to-fame is as the primary designer of the "Jungle Cruise" attraction, near which a window with my name inscribed is located. I was also a banjo player for the Disneyland-based jazz band, the "Firehouse Five Plus Two". Who am I? Milt Kahl Harper Goff Bill Cottrell John Hench

10. I was a good friend of Walt Disney's and was fortunate enough to be asked to be part of the broadcast team on the day Disneyland opened. I was a well-known name and face prior to the Disneyland opening, having had hit shows on both radio and television. In fact, I was the only person in TV history to have five shows run concurrently on network TV. Walt didn't have enough money to pay me for my services, so instead I received as my fee the profits from the film concessions at Disneyland for ten years, which worked out pretty well for me. Who am I? Art Linkletter Bob Cummings Ronald Reagan Merv Griffin
