Day 2 – May 4, 2013 – Part 12​

On our last update, we just finished going through the Disney Archives and now are at the Disney Legends Plaza to see all the different plaques of all the people that contributed to the Disney Company. I was so excited to see some of my favorite Disney Imagineers plaques during the D23 Day at the Walt Disney Studios and Archives tour. It has been a few posts since I have just been showing all the Disney Legends plaques at the Disney Legends Plaza.

Now back with more pictures of the plaques at the Disney Legends Plaza.

Ben Sharpsteen

Charles “Chuck” Boyajian

Charles Boyer

Bob Jani

Tom Nabbe

Another plaque that I was looking forward to seeing was Roger Broggie. Roger Broggie was another train enthusiastic that has helped Walt Disney build trains at the Disney parks and worked with Walt Disney to help build the Carolwood Pacific Railroad in his backyard. I met his son Michael Broggie a few times at train exhibits in Sacramento and at the D23 Expo when he was with the Carolwood Pacific Railroad group. Another interesting fact about Roger E. Broggie is that one of the steam engines at the Magic Kingdom Engine #3 has his name on it. It is the 4-6-0 “Ten Wheeler” green steam engine.

Joe Fowler plaque. Admiral Joe Fowler was the construction boss for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Another fact about Admiral Joe Fowler has his name at the dock harbor at Disneyland where the Mark Twain and Columbia ships are stored when not in service. The last one is that his name is on one of the ferries at the Magic Kingdom.

Hi my name is Denise Boyajian. I was wondering if by any chance you could share with me the picture of my dad (Chuck Boyajian) with me. I live in Florida and haven't physically seen his plaque. I am lucky enough to have his award and would love the picture you took to hang it above it.

Please let me know if this is possible.
