| Disney Designer Retires After Decades of Creating Magic
 Turned out, it wasn't such a small world after all. At least not for Joyce Carlson, who took an office job with Walt Disney during World War II then spent 62 years helping make animated movies and attractions from California to New York City, Orlando, Paris and Tokyo. Carlson, who just turned 83, is now easing into retirement from Walt Disney Imagineering, the company's theme park attraction design division. Mentored by the first generation of legendary Disney designers such as Grace Bailey, Mary Blair and John Hench, Carlson may have left her most enduring mark on the classic children's ride that she helped create for the 1964 World's Fair in New York, It's a Small World.
