In 1969, Abbott was named "Foreman of the Year" at the Matterhorn. In 1977, he was foreman for the opening of Space Mountain, and returned to the Matterhorn for the big rehab and reopening of the attraction in 1978. During the course of his career, he also served as foreman of the Submarine Voyage, Jungle Cruise, Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, and many other attractions. In 1987, Abbott conceived and initiated the Cast Member seeing-eye dog fund, which became a highly successful volunteer group. Abbott will be named a Disney Legend in 2005 (a first for an hourly theme park Cast Member).
