Next time you’re on Main Street U.S.A., look up. Whether you’re
in Orlando or Anaheim, you’ll see windows that have a lot to say. These
decorative panes pretend to advertise businesses in the upper floors above Main
Street, but they’re really paying homage to the people who helped to create
this happy place. The one that reads, “Fargo’s Palm Parlor, Roland E. Crump,
palm reader” is talking about Rolly Crump who designed the Haunted Mansion and
the Enchanted Tiki Room. “The Artist’s
Loft, handmade miniatures by Harriet Burns” is for the first female imagineer
who was behind Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and the Carousel of Progress. “Wally
Boag, golden vaudeville routines” honors the greatest performer on the stage at
the Golden Horseshoe. My personal favorite is “The Musical Quill, lyrics and
librettos by X. Atencio.” Xavier Atencio wrote A Pirate’s Life for Me and Grim
Grinning Ghosts. He also has a headstone near the Haunted Mansion.
