BOB GURR
One of the last direct links to Walt Disney himself is legendary Imagineer Bob Gurr. Walt Disney asked Bob to design cars for Autopia. Walt was so impressed with his work, he asked Bob to join WED where he helped breathe life into the Disney Parks by designing many of the vehicles including the monorail, the submarines and the fanciful vehicles you see up and down Main Street. Bob is also the designer of King Kong for the Universal Studios tram tour, and helped bring excitement to Las Vegas with his pirate ship design for Treasure Island Casino and Hotel. Bob received the prestigious Disney Legend Award in 2004 and his handprints adorn the Court of Legends at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. After such a long spanning accomplished career, Bob still makes time to delight fans young and old by speaking at a variety of special events and meetings. Bob currently hosts a monthly Disney History Bus tour in Los Angeles. He can be seen frequently around Southern California appearing at various events and panels. Bob is humorous and loves to tell stories and always up for questions and answers segments.
