Disneyland honors nine employees for 50 years of service with a ceremony in the Golden Horseshoe restaurant and a cavalcade along Main Street USA.
During his 50-year career at Disneyland, Jimmie Payton was the first to climb Matterhorn mountain with Mickey Mouse and scaled the man-made peak more than 300 times — including during the 50th anniversary of the park when he planted a flag at the top.
Disneyland cast member Jimmie Payton takes part in the service awards cavalcade along Main Street USA. The Matterhorn climbers developed a few regular show routes traversed by Mickey and Goofy while also carving out more than 30 alternate routes of differing difficulties while practicing on the mountain.
The highest peak in Disneyland’s famed mountain range offers a commanding view of the Anaheim theme park. Payton’s last trip to the top of the Matterhorn was also the highlight of his Disneyland career: Planting a “50” flag on the peak for the 50th anniversary in 2005.During marketing tours in the 1970s, Payton traveled with Mickey Mouse aboard Walt Disney’s plane to promote Disneyland to all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
“This will be my 51st Christmas parade,” Payton said. “It’s a lot of fun. I’m not a Scrooge. I love Christmas.”
