My great-grandfather,who was an electrician, had the privilege of meeting Walt when he looked at the Orlando property, he said Walt was a very nice and genuine gentleman and enjoyed speaking with him. He was very interested in different lighting techniques and listened intently to my Great Grandfather who was an advanced electrician in the industry at the time.

Walt isn't just an American icon, he's a world icon. His second name will always be the most well known, most pronounced until the world ends I'm sure. The amount Disney now own is absolutely insane and I can never see a moment when the Disney company goes under.

This is the Disney I grew up with 😭💕 miss it so much

Walt did dream way beyond his time. A true legend.

I sat beside my dad on the couch and watched "Wonderful World of Color" when I was 5 years old.  Twenty years later I would be sitting beside him in Disneyland watching "A Moment with Lincoln". I woke up on my 55th birthday in Disney World.  Thank you folks at Disney for making another dream come true. I am scheming my next visit when I can get a discount on airfares, age is just a number.

Growing up in the 60s, our family always watched Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Our marching band raised money my senior year of high school so that we could go to Disney World, 1973. It really was magical. Thank you so much Mr Disney, for making dreams come true

the days when WDW was still magical!

Watching this in my hotel room at WDW. =0)

Walt Elias Disney was truly and amazing man who progressed from nothing to owning Americas biggest theme parks. A true inspiration ❤️

It’s actually crazy when you realize just how old these people are now. And people will be saying that about us in a few years.

“Who knows when you reach it, so you keep reaching”

I remember him well.  The Wonderful World of Color was something we all watched together!

Very INSPIRING MAN, a perfect example of the saying - You CAN ACHIENVE what your mind set to do..

After my Uncle retired from the Air Force he worked at Disney as a designer. He was so proud of that Company and having worked there. Walt Disney was a genius and so sad he couldnt have lived to see all of it. We miss you Walt !

God bless Walt Disney he may be gone but he will live on forever

Have you ever seen one of those rare people who could write a math equation with their left hand while drawing a picture with their right? I think that was Walt. His left and right brain were equal. Great ambition and artistic talent combined. A true one of a kind.

just a genuis what amazing man with a amazing imagination.........cause of him he puts a smile on millions of kids ans adults

Thank you Walt Disney you have the heart of everybody every time I go to Walt Disney World that you made the Magical place in the World you also you made verybody dream come true and you made my dreams always come true

Whatever Walt got involved with in his movies, there was an educational and moral lesson in them for the kids. To this day I have NEVER had a teacher refuse me permission to take either my grandkids or great grandkids out of school for a week at Disney world !!!  There is something new in every park that the children learn every day. We practice reading with the menus and the safety warnings on the rides and money management by giving them a spending budget for souvenirs and snacks. Works every time. and they generally spend every penny while we are there.

Talk about innovation and reinvention, thank you Mr. Disney for setting the bar high in life. Dreams really do come true :D

MAN! Thanks for uploading this video.  Brings back memories.  I watched this thing over and over when I was a kid.  I think it's half the reason I'm such a Disney freak now.
