“The life's work of Walt Disney and Ray Kroc had come full-circle, uniting in perfect synergy. McDonald's began to sell its hamburgers and french fries at Disney's theme parks. The ethos of McDonaldland and of Disneyland, never far apart, have finally become one. Now you can buy a Happy Meal at the Happiest Place on Earth.”

“Enthusiasm and optimism together. He was enthusiastic about everything. He never thought anything would turn out badly.

“His (Walt Disney's) favorite song, 'Feed the Birds' from Mary Poppins. The lyrics give insight into Walt's benevolence--his belief that small kindnesses go a long way. Disney Legend and lyricist Robert Sherman once explained the sentiment: ' Doing just a little extra and going just a little bit out of your way to make someone feel special. Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world to a person.'

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry, their nest are so
bare
All it takes is tuppence from you....

When the song was finished, Walt would say under his breath, as an aside to himself, 'Yup, That's what it's all about.'
Robert overheard that whisper and concluded, 'I do think this song summed him up. He was a simple man---a simple, wonderful man who understood that the greatest gift life bestows upon a person is the chance to share with others.”

“Walt famously said that it-- "it" being being the Disney empire--all started with a mouse, but the mouse was created because the rabbit was purloined.”

“When Disney’s children were very young, he’d tried to take
them to places where their imaginations could run wild. But every
carnival or fair seemed to be dirty, poorly run, and filled with vice.
Walt wanted to create a place where people could take their family
and forget the concerns of the everyday world—a place beautiful,
safe, and filled with endless wonder. So at about the same time
that he had started selling assets and conserving his capital, he
pulled aside one of his art directors and had him begin working on
concept sketches for a new kind of amusement park. The sketches
started to illustrate the vision he had in his head, a utopian world
where guests would enter a fairytale world.”

“Walt Disney, because of his fervent anticommunism, developed a cordial relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its director, J. Edgar Hoover. Herbert Mitgang goes so far as to argue that 'from 1940 until his death in 1966 [Walt Disney served] as a secret informer for the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

“It was creative, not financial success that thrilled Walt.”

“Walt reorganized the fickleness of audiences and the challenge of always providing something new. For me, this great entrepreneurial adventure was an exposure to 'yes if' consulting as a more useful format than 'no because'...'Yes if' was the language of an enabler, pointing to what needed to be done to make the possible plausible. Walt liked this language. 'No because' is the language of a deal killer. 'Yes if' is the approach of a deal maker. Creative people thrive on 'yes if'.”

“When Walt became all wrapped up in the theme parks and live-action films, we tried to get him interested in animation again," recalls Frank Thomas, one of the Studio's "Nine Old Men."

"Walt said, 'If I ever do go back, there are only two subjects I would want to do. One of them is Beauty and the Beast.' For the life of me, I can't remember what the other one was.”

“The original Tom Sawyer Island was perhaps the most deeply personal expression of Walt's own boyhood dreams to be found anywhere in Disneyland. Tom Sawyer Island is the playground Walt wished he could have had as a boy. It's the only attractraction in the Park that Walt himself drew up with his own hands, in his barn on Carolwood Drive.”
― Jim Denney, Walt's Disneyland: It's Still There If You Know Where to Look

“Just as writers write the books they always wished they could read, Walt built the playground his inner child had always wanted to explore. Tom Sawyer Island was the tangible fulfillment of all his boyhood wishes.”

“Then it would come time for Walt to tell his favorite joke: 'What's a four letter word for what's at the bottom of (his) bird cage?' Everyone would look at each other, wondering if Walt Disney was going to say 'that.' And just when the tension was getting thick, Walt the on-color jokester would say, 'Grit, Grit!”
― Marcy Carriker Smothers, Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food

“The archives acquired the original 1967 letter from then-California Governor Ronald Reagan, written to the postmaster general, suggesting that a stamp be issued for Walt Disney. Reagan wrote, "I hesitate to even mention California's pride in his vast accomplishments for fear of detracting from his true image as a world-renowned and world-beloved figure. There is no necessity for me to itemize his contributions to humanity; they can be summed up by simply saying that because of him the world is a richer, better place,”
― Dave Smith

“Walt quería una casa embrujada, pero que no fuera un edificio que luciera en ruinas. Para el aspecto apropiado, se decidió por una mansión del sur. Dijo, "Nosotros cuidaremos el terreno y las cosas exteriores; los fantasmas pueden dedicarse al interior".

Para ayudar a los fantasmas a mantener el aspecto arruinado de la Mansión Embrujada, Disney World compra un "polvo" especial a granel, y lo esparce con un irrigador de fertilizante. Desde que abrió el parque, han esparcido suficiente polvo para enterrar la mansión en su totalidad.

(...) hay un grupo de tumbas fuera de la mansión. Los nombres que aparecen en las tumbas son los de los imagineros que ayudaron a crear la atracción.”
― Tom Connellan, Inside the Magic Kingdom

“Among those watching the Larry King interview was Diane Disney Miller and her husband, Ron. In response to a caller asking whether Walt Disney had really been frozen, Eisner said that no, Walt had been buried in an unmarked grave in a secret location. â€�His wishes were that it was unmarked, and not available to anybody to ever find out,â€� he said. â€�But I went up there and talked my way into them showing me where he’s buried.â€�

Why would the grave be unmarked? King asked.

Walt �wanted his privacy forever,� Eisner replied. �It’s a beautiful little spot and nobody could ever find it, and I’m very proud that I talked myself into it.�

Diane didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How could Eisner say this on national television? He knew perfectly well that Walt was not buried in an unmarked grave. Diane herself had told him that Walt had been cremated, after they had dinner all those years ago.”
― James B. Stewart, Disney War
