When I'm dead I don't want a funeral. I want people to remember me alive.
Walt Disney

The most exciting and, by far, the most important part of our Florida project, in fact, the heart of everything well be doing in Disney World, will be our experimental prototype city of tomorrow. We call it EPCOT.
Walt Disney
Image
There's really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward - opening up new doors and doing new things - because we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We're always exploring and experimenting. We call it Imagineering - the blending of creative and imagination with technical know-how.

We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.

There is a natural hootchy-kootchy motion to a goldfish.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
Walt Disney
Image
There is no magic in magic, it's all in the details.

I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things. Lecturing to children is no answer to delinquency. Preaching won't keep youngsters out of trouble, but keeping their minds occupied will.
Walt Disney
Image
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney
Image
Part of the Disney success is our ability to create a believable world of dreams that appeals to all age groups. The kind of entertainment we create is meant to appeal to every member of the family.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.

Everyone has to contribute, or they become laborers.
Walt Disney
Image
Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.
Walt Disney
Image
I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
Image
No matter what the provocation, I never fire a man who is honestly trying to deliver a job. Few workers who become established at the Disney Studio ever leave voluntarily or otherwise, and many have been on the payroll all their working lives.
Walt Disney
Image
I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
Walt Disney
Image
Well it took many years. I started with many ideas, threw them away, started all over again. And eventually it evolved into what you see today at Disneyland

Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.

Animals have personalities like people and must be studied.
