Walt wasn’t afraid to take chance with anything. He put up everything he had to build Disneyland, every bit. He sold his second home in Palm Springs, he borrowed, begged, whatever he had to do. He held nothing back, he had nothing left. He risked everything on a dream.” - Ken Anderson, Imagineer

While I was in Chicago with Walt, he asked me if there were any places I wanted to go. I told him of a jazz place, and he said ‘You can do that anytime! Let’s go ride the El.’ So we rode that elevated train half the night and he was looking out the window, reliving his childhood.” - Ward Kimball, Disney Animator

Lillian used to say, ‘But why do you want to build an amusement park? They’re so dirty.’ I told her that was just the point- mine wouldn’t be.’ ” - Walt Disney

Walt and I lived a few blocks from each other in Holmby HIlls. I was at his house and saw his trains. I was astounded to learn that he did most of the work right there. He was a mechanic, an artist and a craftsman. He was more than just a dreamer.” - Art Linkletter, Television Personality

Walt’s life teaches us to do a good day’s work and try to make magic for everyone who crosses your path each day. Make their day happy and lighten their burden by taking notice of them. Take an interest in what they are doing: ask questions the way walt did.” - Ron Stark, Disney Historian and Animation Preservationist
