Smile History channel - "How Disney Built America"

The story of Disney is amazing. I had no idea what a risk taker he was. His imagination and determination finally paid off. Sunday night 10:00 p.m. - History Channel 269.

Walt's brother Roy took care of the financial side.

Walt is probably rolling over in his grave over how his company has been operated in recent years.

The stock is down about 10% today on another bad earnings report. Maybe they need to raise prices more.

399 a YEAR includes free parking at any park and 20% off all merch and some food items at all the parks and Disney Springs. How can anyone say that’s expensive?

Walt may have been a great visionary, but that Disney no longer exists. They have completely gone to the dark side and most of my friends has nothing to do with this she'll anymore.

When I as a kid I found Disney cartoons to be really disturbing. Bambi, Fantasia, Dumbo to name a few. It seems a parent dies in almost all Disney movies..... well, not Fantasia, but I still was scared to death watching it......

Married to the Mouse is an excellent book chronicling Disney’s identification of then remote Orlando and subsequent development of Disneyworld.
