The 1313 Club is hosting an event with Ape Pen Publishing on September 18 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Walt Disney’s Marvelous Mechanized Magic Kingdom will bring together Disney Legends such as Bob Gurr, Alice Davis, Blaine Gibson, Rolly Crump, X Atencio and more alongside actual audio animatronics from Garner Holt Productions.
The event will illustrate Disney’s incredible mechanical achievements by spotlighting attractions, characters, and memorable devices created by the Disney Studios and, later, the MAPO arm of WED Imagineering. Using rare images, video, and authentic props and animatronics, guests will gain insight into the fascinating MAPO division as never before. Disney Legends will shed light on this little known but highly intriguing aspect of Disney history—plus performances by Disneyland entertainers and the World premiere of the world’s most advanced animatronic figure.
This once-in-a-lifetime evening will honor Disneyland as one of the world’s great storytelling environments, with special emphasis on its technological wonders. Combining history, entertainment, and lots of surprises, it’s an event not to be missed by any Disneyland Fan.
Prices for the event range from $82 to $120. For additional information or to register for the event, see here.
