About Jack Wagner (announcer)

  • Jack Francis Wagner (Los Angeles, CA, USA, October 17, 1925 – Riverside, CA, USA, June 16, 1995) was an American radio personality and actor best known for his association with Disneyland.
  • He is famous for the various announcements over the park PA, for parades, special events, etc.
  • He also did voice work for the Walt Disney World Resort, and for the attractions themselves, including instructions, emergency precautions, and safety spiels.
  • Because of the prevalence of his voice over the park, his nickname was "The Voice of Disneyland". One of his most famous lines is from a safety spiel at the Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction, spoken in English and Spanish: "Remain seated please; permanecer sentados por favor." This line is reprised in the nostalgic fireworks show "Remember...
  • Dreams Come True", and is also a line in the film Toy Story 2 (said by Barbie, who was voiced by Jodi Benson), as well as the episode "Rollercoaster: The Musical!" in the Phineas and Ferb Disney animated series.
  • The original recording can also be heard in the opening seconds of Anaheim ska punk band No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom", a song from the album of the same name.
  • A similarly famous announcement is the message signaling that the Walt Disney World Monorail's doors are closing.
  • This spiel is as follows: "Please stand clear of the doors.
  • Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas." Wagner also enjoyed a lengthy career as a radio announcer at KNX in Los Angeles, and as a television actor, his best-known role being that of the malt-shop proprietor in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
  • He was the younger brother of noted choral director Roger Wagner.
  • Wagner's son Mike, a former disc jockey and radio programmer, is a Disney executive.
