Two short years later, Logan returned to California where he worked as the park’s director of Entertainment; he held that post until 1982 at which point he returned to Walt Disney World as vice president of Entertainment. Five years later, in 1987, Logan was promoted to vice president of Creative Show Development for all of Walt Disney Attractions.
In his most recent and last position for Disney, Logan was executive vice president, executive producer for Walt Disney Entertainment, the division now know as Walt Disney Creative Entertainment. In this post, he was responsible for creating, casting and producing all entertainment for The Walt Disney Company, including resorts, Disney Cruise Line and The Disney Institute.

Windows on Main Street - Lonnie Lindley

Lonnie R. Lindley
World’s Largest Collection of Color Samples
Lonnie Lindley began his career with The Walt Disney Company in 1963 in Disneyland’s Parts Warehouse, where his primary responsibility was supplying the maintenance team with parts to keep park operations running smoothly. Shortly afterward, Lindley started working as a painter trainee where he gained much experience, expertise and recognition for his ability to achieve Walt’s vision for Disneyland. In 1970, Lindley transferred to Florida where he joined the Magic Kingdom Construction team.
As part of this team, Lindley was responsible for all paint work on the construction of the Magic Kingdom, working with the Buena Vista Construction paint team to coordinate colors and prep materials. Toward the end of the decade, Lindley was running all of the property’s paint operations, overseeing the work of over 300 employees. In 1981, after many audits, appraisals and re-organizations, Lindley became Superintendent for both the Paint and Sign Shops at the Central Shops; he held this position until 1998, providing leadership and direction to the shops responsible for the seemingly endless stream of new projects, parade floats and refurbishments. In 1998, Lindley moved to the Ride and Show Engineering group and eventually to Architecture and Facilities Engineering, where he worked until his retirement in 2007.
Windows on Main Street - Ed Bullard
The final window in this set is dedicated to Ed Bullard:
Project Detective Agency
Private Investigations
We Never Sleep
Ed Bullard Investigator
Unfortunately, just as I wasn’t able to find much information about Bob Jackman, my research into the career of Ed Bullard turned up very little information. The only piece think I found about his career: he was the head of Walt Disney World Security. If you have any additional information about Mr. Bullard, I’d love for you to share it by leaving a comment below.
