Has anyone else read this book? It's a MUST read for any Disney fan!
I just finished it and highly, highly recommend it. It pretty much starts with the birth of Walt and goes all the way up to his death. It's about all the ups and downs he went through to achieve the Disney we know today. Just amazing!! I learned a few things too . . .
1. WED Way people mover: I NEVER knew that WED was after Walt's initials,
Walt
Elias
Disney. WED ENTERPRISES was also one of the first companies Walt incorporated.
2. Snow White took over 2 MILLION cells to make (83 minutes of film) and earned OVER 8 Million Dollars in 1938 - AMAZING!! A movie ticket was only .23¢!!
3. And this one I
at: Walt did not build either of the park near a beach, since he wanted to keep his parks "upscale" he didn't want people touring his parks in their bathing suits!
(If he COULD only SEE what some people wear to the parks!!)
