Happy Birthday, Walt!

On this day in 1901, Walter Elias Disney was born.  Little did anyone know the contribution he would have to the world.  Without Walt, what would our world be like?

On this day, let’s look back and think about how Walt made a difference in our lives.  Whether it’s being 5 years old and watching Peter Pan for the first time or your first ride on the Tea Cups at Disneyland, we all have amazing childhood memories thanks to one man: Walt Disney.
