Disney4me Posted Wednesday at 08:35 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:35 PM The Walt Disney Company’s former CEO, Bob Iger, just received one of the most cherished honors you can get at Disney! Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Bob Iger has officially been given a personalized window on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Iger’s window is located above the entrance of the Emporium, recognizing him as the “Chief Architect for New Century Builders.” The new window on Main Street captures Iger’s approach with the motto, “Looking forward to your tomorrow!” The window also features a series of descriptors that commemorate his leadership during his time at the company, including “courageous,” “confidence,” “excellence,” “innovation,” “curiosity,” and “optimism.” ©Disney “I stand here with a deep sense of wonder and humility and appreciation and gratitude for having the opportunity not just to work for the company that Walt Disney founded, but to run the company that he founded, and then to have the opportunity to be given this,” said Bob Iger. “It’s just so special to me to stand here, Town Square, Main Street, thinking about this place over 70 years ago, thinking about the millions and millions and millions of people that have come through, thinking about the thousands and thousands of cast members that have worked here and contributed mightily to what this is, and thinking about the legacy of the people who are represented in these windows, and realizing I’m now among them.” ©Disney Bob Iger exclaimed that this moment is more than a dream to him. “It’s actually not even a dream come true, because I never could have dreamed this was possible,” Bob said. The celebration took place on August 16th, and it included the Dapper Dans harmonizing on the Sherman Brothers’ “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.” ©Disney Josh D’Amaro, the new CEO of the company, had some kind words for Bob. “He expanded Disney storytelling around the world. He was unrelenting in his focus on creativity and innovation, and he honored our past while always keeping his eye on the future.” ©Disney Bob Iger had a long and impactful career as Disney’s CEO. He’s done a ton for the company’s film and entertainment industry, parks and experiences, and more. His legacy is now cemented at Disney with this new window at Disneyland. Having a name emblazoned on a Main Street, U.S.A. window is a tradition as old as Disneyland itself, and now he’s there with the greats! ©Disney We’re always on top of all the latest Disney news and updates!
