For those who don’t know, Bob Gurr worked directly with Walt Disney and is responsible for designing many of the Disneyland ride vehicles, including the iconic Doombuggies in the Haunted Mansion. Gurr will be discussing working on these designs and other experiences he had while working on Disneyland. Guests will even get to see rare vintage footage of the park!
