Jani later served as the master plan consultant for the construction of Disney-MGM Studios Park at Walt Disney World. Jani was posthumously named a Disney Legend in 2005. He is also honored with a window on Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A., above the Bank of Main Street, proclaiming his office as the "Main Street Electrical Parade World Headquarters".
