There is something unforgettable about the friendships you make early in your Disney journey, when everything feels new and exciting. For Steven “Steve” Valkenburg and James “JP” Pryor, that feeling never faded. From their very first days working at Disneyland Resort nearly five decades ago, the two formed a bond that has only grown stronger with time and will endure long after their retirement on July 18. To continue their tradition of celebrating resort milestones together, they agreed to remain through July 17 to mark the 70th anniversary of Disneyland Resort before turning in their aprons. For them, it’s more than a farewell. It’s a full circle moment, closing out their chapters at the place where their friendship all started. JP and Steve welcome guests to the Plaza Inn at Disneyland park with high fives during their “Chicken Bell” moment, a unique tradition of theirs where they choose one guest to ring the chicken bell signifying that the restaurant is open for lunchtime. Bonds Built from Mentorship  JP’s journey at Disneyland Resort began in 1977 at Plaza Inn in Disneyland park, with Steve joining a short time later in 1980 at French Market (now known as Tiana’s Palace) before moving to Plaza Inn in 1983. It wasn’t long before their friendship blossomed, united by their shared mission for creating happiness for guests of all ages.
