The Disney legend responsible for recommending the locations for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Harrison “Buzz” Price, has passed away at the age of 89 years old.
Harrison was a research economist who worked to determine the best location for Walt Disney to bring his dreams to life – choosing Anaheim, California for Disneyland and Orlando, Florida for Walt Disney World.
His son David Price, released a statement on behalf of his mother, Anne Shaw Price, and the Price Family:
Despite his failing health, he continued to demonstrate his trademark humor, cutting edge wit and enduring love for family and friends. His legacy of laughter, wit, love, passion and commitment leaves its mark on each of us – family, friends and colleagues in the leisure and recreation industry he loved.
We extend our condolences to the Price family during this difficult time.
