Book Signings at Disney Springs This Coming Weekend Include Disney Legend Martha Blanding
There will be two signings at Disney Springs’ Marketplace Co-Op on February 15.
Disney Springs has announced multiple book signings taking place this coming Saturday and Sunday, including an appearance by Disney Legend Martha Blanding.
What’s Happening:
- All the signings will take place at the Marketplace Co-Op at Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs.
- First, from 11:00am - 1:00pm on Saturday, February 15, authors Tim O’Day, Steven Vagnini, Kevin Kern, and Fabiola Garza will be signing their book A Portrait of Walt Disney World: 50 Years of The Most Magical Place on Earth.
- Then, from 3:00pm - 6:00pm on Saturday, February 15, O’Day will return alongside Disney Legend Martha Blanding to sign their book, Groundbreaking Magic. O’Day and Blanding will then be back for a second signing together from 3:00pm - 6:00pm on Sunday, February 16.
- A part of 2024’s group of inductees as a Disney Legend alongside the likes of Harrison Ford, Frank Oz, James Cameron and Jamie Lee Curtis, Blanding sadly was among the many who lost their homes in the recent Los Angeles wildfires. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist Blanding and her family.
- The first full-time Black tour guide at Disneyland in the early 1970s, Blanding’s remarkable 50-year career, prior to her retirement, included becoming the first Black woman in management at Disneyland, where she became the Senior Manager of Disneyland Resort Merchandise Special Events.
