Windows With a View continues! In this episode, we take you further down Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland to uncover the people honored in the next three windows: Claude Coats, Elias Disney, and Wathel Rogers.
From Claude Coats’ towering artistic legacy, to Elias Disney’s place in Walt’s family and the town-squared storytelling of Main Street, to Wathel Rogers’ groundbreaking work in early Audio-Animatronics — these windows reveal the fascinating histories behind the facades we pass every day.
Along the way, we explore:
✨ The evolution of the Emporium’s many façades
✨ The original lockers, storage companies, and early tenants of Main Street
✨ The model builders, early Imagineers, and park designers are represented in the windows
✨ Hidden details and fun facts woven into the architecture
✨ How these windows connect to the broader story of Disneyland’s design
This episode is filled with history, tributes, clever Imagineering touches, and Disneyland deep cuts — all straight from the extended Emporium block on Main Street.
Join Kevin as he shines a spotlight on three influential figures who helped shape Disney animation, Disneyland, and the early days of Imagineering.
