Jack Lindquist’s window on Main Street in Disneyland is on City Hall, bracketed by his buddy Marty Sklar’s window. 

Jack Lindquist, March 15, 1927-February 28, 2016, moved to Los Angeles with his family at age four. He started acting at seven, during the Depression, earning $5.10 a day as an extra on Our Gang.  

After serving in the military and previous jobs, he came to Disney and became a Legend!  Linquist was the master that innovated the marketing tagline known in football for saying, “I’m going to Disneyland”, after winning a Super Bowl.

He served as the first-ever President of Disneyland. He started with the Disney Company in 1955, two months after Disneyland opened, as the park’s first advertising manager. Jack worked his way up the Disney ladder until he was eventually named President of Disneyland in 1988 by Michael Eisner. Jack retired after 38 years with The Disney Company, was honored with a window on Main Street, U.S.A., and Disney Legend status in 1994.
