History Comes Alive with Walt Disney

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Event Details

Join Walt Disney (portrayed by Chautauqua scholar and actor David Skipper) for an evening of delightful nostalgia, as he reminisces about the creation of the most popular animated character or all time, Mickey Mouse, and the building of a motion picture and entertainment empire. Meet a few of Disney's animatronic creations, learn behind the scene stories on some of his most successful film projects, including “Mary Poppins”, discover how Disney's fascination with trains led to the development of Disneyland and his plans for an experimental proto-type community of tomorrow. Disney will also share some of his Colorado connections. So dust off those Mouseketeer ears, because May 5 is "Anything Can Happen Day."
