Charles Corson worked in the Casting Department for Walt Disney Studios and became Director of Entertainment for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
He helped cast for such acts as the Dapper Dans, the live Mermaids, the high-wire Tinker Bells, and other Disneyland atmosphere entertainment and Meet Me at Disneyland TV show. He was responsible for bringing the Osmonds to Disneyland for one of their first public performances. He helped cast the Mickey Mouse Club show and helped with the first firework shows at Disneyland. His background in production and first love of live entertainment led
him to Disneyland where he served the creative genius of his mentor,
Walt Disney, and rose to become Director of Entertainment for the
world's two largest theme parks, Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Instrumental in the opening of Walt Disney World, many of his creative
contributions are still in place today and he is honored with a window
bearing his name on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom.
