Hey all -

So my friend and mentor's father this year is being honored as a Disney Legend. Love him or hate him, he was Art Babbitt, creator of Goofy and the man who led the strikes against Walt Disney and eventually got fired by him.

Regardless, he's being honored this year posthumously as a Disney Legend (apparently alongside Michael Eisner, whoopee! :rolleyes:) and I have a few questions about this, if anyone happens to know the answers.

1. I've heard conflicting reports as to whether or not Disney Legends are awarded Golden Passes. Does anyone know if this is certain?

2. If the award is given posthumously, does the family still receive the Golden Pass?

(I ask because there's a good chance I'll be the one to get it, if one is given! :D)

3. Does the bronze statue given by Disney stay at the studio or is it given to the family to keep? (Again, I've heard conflicting reports.)

Thanks so much, guys! And if there's anything else I should know, please go ahead and post it. :)
