 + + + About the *imaginative* Ron Schneider + + +
Ron Schneider was at Disneyland the day after it opened.  A lifelong
fan of Disneyland history and live themed entertainment, he was lucky
to understudy Wally Boag in Disneyland's ORIGINAL "Golden Horseshoe
Revue" for 2 1/2 years starting in 1980, working with Disney Legends
Fulton Burley and Betty Taylor.
Ron used his talents in the making of Kodak's "Journey Into Imagination"
EPCOT pavillion at Walt Disney World, ultimately replacing Chuck McCann
as the Company's official voice of the Dreamfinder.  When EPCOT opened in
1982, Disney brought him to Orlando to create the first strolling
Dreamfinder and Figment characters.  He worked with the lil' purple lizard
for 5 years, while writing, voicing, consulting and performing a wide
variety of roles for WDW Creative Entertainment and Imagineering.
In addition, Ron has worked as a tour guide, performer, writer and
supervisor for Universal Studios L.A. & Orlando (including helping to
creating the USFla Look-Alike program) and did time as a ride-
op/performer/animal handler over 6 years at Six Flags' Magic Mountain.
He created the original Fort Liberty Themed Dinner Show for Orlando
Entertains, as well as several other themed dinner attractions and
live shows for special events and conventions; and is writing a
textbook tentatively titled "Zen and the Art of Themed Entertainment".
