Jack Francis Wagner (October 17, 1925 – June 16, 1995) was an American radio personality and actor best known for his association withDisneyland. He is famous for the various announcements over the park PA, for parades, special events, etc. He also did voice work forWalt Disney World, 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 theMatterhorn 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 filmToy Story 2 (said byBarbie, who was voiced byJodi Benson), as well as the episode "Rollercoaster: The Musical!" in thePhineas and Ferb Disney animated series. The original recording can also be heard in the opening seconds ofAnaheim ska punk bandNo Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom", a song from thealbum of the same name. A similarly famous announcement is the message signaling that theWalt 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." He also did the vocoder voice for theMain Street Electrical Parade albeit, pitch down in 2017 and then was retired completely in 2022.
