Presented by Christopher Crump & Chris Nichols

Rolly Crump (1930-2023) is a Disney Legend — he even had his own window on Main Street, USA! But many people do not know that he was also a prolific artist beyond his Disney work. His son Christopher Crump and special guest, Chris Nichols (Los Angeles Magazine) will present highlights of Rolly’s distinguished career and provide those in attendance with some of the Rolly Magic. The book The Great Crump Presents His Magic will be available for purchase.

Chris Crump retired from Walt Disney Imagineering in 2016 after contributing to projects worldwide for over 28 years.

He and his team received the 2002 Thea Award for Best New Theme Park: Tokyo DisneySea. Chris began his career working alongside his father, the legendary Imagineer, Rolly Crump. FACEBOOK
