Dave Smith at the Magic Kingdom -- Weds ss03.16.2005
Dave Smith is visiting Walt Disney World this week. He is director of the Disney Archives, located at the Studios in Burbank. This photo shows yours truly Steve S, Dave Smith, and our own Jim Korkis, who MC'ed the afternoon.

 

Dave shows us a particularly interesting bit of Disney history, as Jim Korkis waxes brilliant.

 

Dave signed copies of his books for many of the attendees.

 

Dave and a group picture with many of the CM's who helped who helped with the seminar. Thanks to the Learning Centers for making this event happen.

 

Some of the many books on display -- available to you at the Disney Learning Centers.

 

Dave shows us some extra special Disney history.
An ORIGINAL cel from Steamboat Willie! And a
copy of the FIRST Donald Duck comic book.

 

A closer view of the Steamboat Willie cel. Jim Korkis joked
that "This cel alone could probably serve as Dave's 401K plan."

 

And a closer view of the Donald comic, Vol 1. No 1.
Note the price. (my apologies for the flash glare)

A writeup of some of the detail of the seminar will follow soon.
