Scott oversaw the conception and production of everything from the Block Party Bash at Disney's California Adventure to the daily Parade of Dreams along Disneyland's Main Street USA to the nightly "Remember . . . Dreams Come True" fireworks show, featuring a new flight by Tinker Bell. His team also crafted how the 50th Anniversary would be celebrated throughout the parks, including design of advertising, logos and graphics for every Disney theme park worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the word anniversary:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
