The Story of Walt Disney
A young man with an artistic talent was born in 1901. He tried to get a business going in 1919 and it crashed in less than a month. Later in 1923 he was at it again but it lasted less than a year and went under. Walt went from investor to investor with a sketch of a mouse asking for their help. He went bankrupt once, was taken over twice and had to start again. He determined to build a theme park that would provide family fun for the price of $1.00 per ticket. Some laughed some just politely refused the proposal. Walt and his brother mortgaged all they had and opened Disneyland, then later one year after Walt’s death in 1966 construction of Disney World in Florida began. Today what really matters about Walt Disney is not how he started but how he finished.
