Time for Some Cable Car Windows

Today's Main Street USA windows come to you direct from the Cable Car Bake Shop in Disneyland Paris.

Right above this Bake Shope entrance, you can see another kind of business - this one is actually a Society: the Society of Arts and Craftsmen.

We'll Make Your Molehill a Mountain

Let's have a look at the names featured on this fantastic window.

Ron Eposito was an Imagineer working in Paris responsible for colour theming, amongst other things. He also worked on the Walt Disney Studios, acting as a leader and creating art direction for this new park.

Currently the Executive Production VP at Walt Disney Imagineering, Skip Lange has been involved in some major areas and attractions for the Walt Disney Company, including Hong Kong Disneyland and the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland, California. For Disneyland Paris, Skip was the field art director for all the five lands. He worked on the rock fabrication as well as show and set installation, and facade materials and creation.

Not as much is known about John Olsen, but I believe he worked in Imagineering and was based in France for about 18 months, working on, at the time, Euro Disney.

With my powers of deduction, it appears this window is dedicated to those men who worked hard creating the Parc Disneyland that we see today - the facades, the landscaping and the colours that help each land become, well, a land!
