Over the years, I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting and conversing with quite a few Disney Imagineers and Legends, many of whom were speaking in panels today at Destination D: Walt Disney World. But I had never found myself in the same room as one particularly important notable name from Disney history – until today.

Imagineer and Disney Legend Bob Gurr is the man who designed some of the most iconic Disney vehicles in history. Monorail? Yep. The Haunted Mansion’s Doom Buggy? Yep, that too. And today I finally got to meet him. He happened to be standing in the Archives exhibit at Destination D when I went in before lunch, so I said hi, got an autograph, and snapped a quick photo with him. There were others who wanted to meet him as well, so I moved on without much of a conversation, but it was still great to see him in person, finally.
