Walt’s grandson, Walter Disney Miller, told me, “EPCOT was my grandfather’s biggest dream—the city of the future that would point the way to a better world. His dream remains unbuilt.

Cinderella, until lately, has never been a passive dreamer waiting for rescue. The forerunners of the Ash-girl have all been hardy, active heroines who take their lives into their own hands and work out their own salvations .... Cinderella speaks to all of us in whatever skin we inhabit: the child mistreated, a princess or highborn lady in disguise bearing her trials with patience, fortitude, and determination. Cinderella makes intelligent decisions, for she knows that wishing solves nothing without concomitant action. We have each been that child. (Even boys and men share thatdream, as evidenced by the many Ash-boy variants.) It is the longing of any youngster sent supperless to bed or given less than a full share at Christmas. And of course it is the adolescent dream. To make Cinderella less than she is, an ill-treated but passive princess awaiting her rescue, cheapens our most cherished dreams and makes a mockery of the magic inside us all—the ability to change our own lives, the ability to control our own destinies. [The Walt Disney film] set a new pattern for Cinderella: a helpless, hapless, pitiable, useless heroine who has to be saved time and time again by the talking mice and birds because she is “off in a world of dreams.” It is a Cinderella who is not recognized by her prince until she is magically back in her ball gown, beribboned and bejewelled. Poor Cinderella. Poor us.

Horizons opened exactly one year after Epcot Center opened.

One thing I know from personal experience: nothing in my relationship with Walt Disney or his brother was influenced either positively or negatively because I'm Jewish... Walt had called one day when I was attending services at our synagogue during the Jewish High Holy Days, Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur. When Tommie told Walt where I was, she let me know his reaction: "That's where he should be, with his family.

Warren Bennis, one of today’s leading thinkers on the art of leadership, spent years studying groundbreaking groups such as the Walt Disney Studios (while Walt was still alive), Xerox PARC, and Lockheed’s Skunk Works. Here are some of the highlights from his study of groups: • Great groups believe they are on a mission from God. Beyond mere financial success, they genuinely believe they will make the world a better place. • Great groups are more optimistic than realistic. They believe they can do what no one else has done before. “And the optimists, even when their good cheer is unwarranted, accomplish more,” says Warren. • Great groups ship. “They are places of action, not think tanks or retreat centers devoted solely to the generation of ideas.” Warren characterized the successful collaborations he studied as “dreams with deadlines.” Part

If a man jumped as high as a louse (lice), he would jump over a football field. In Ancient Egypt, the average life expectancy was 19 years, but for those who survived childhood, the average life expectancy was 30 years for women and 34 years for men.

Evans [the landscape architect] took a transparency of the master plan and placed it over an aerial photograph of the property at the same scale. He marked all the trees that were not in the middle of the street or in the Rivers of America and tried to work around them. Evans tagged trees that were to be saved with green ribbons, and he tagged trees to be removed with red ribbons. His efforts were futile. As it turned out, the bulldozer operator was color-blind and they lost dozens of trees that were 50-100 years old. More than 12,000 orange trees were removed.

Using the castle to transition between lands was a visual trick Walt called a weenie. According to Disney historian Jim Korkis, during the development of Disneyland, Walt would come home late at night and usually enter his house through the kitchen, which was closer to the garage. He would walk into the kitchen and grab two uncooked hot dogs, or wieners, one for himself and one for his dog. Korkis said, "By wiggling the treat, Walt could get his dog to go from side to side, around in a circle, jump up and more. Both Walt and the dog loved the game and she was finally rewarded with the tasty and satisfying treat." "Each of the gateways into the lands offered weenies. The spinning carousel through the portal leading through Sleeping Beauty Castle called guests into Fantasyland. The stockade gates, the steam bellowing from the Mark Twain stern-wheeler, and the seeming infinite horizon beckoned guests to visit Frontierland. Over in Tomorrowland was the clock of the World and the TWA Moonliner ready for launch. Only Adventureland lacked a weenie. It was thought that if guests knew too much, it would not be much of an adventure.

Disney archivist Dave Smith said, "Disneyland's true appeal, we admit now, is to adults. Children don't need it. Their imaginations are enough. For them, Disneyland is only another kind of reality, somewhat less marvelous than their own fantasies.

At the dedication, Walt’s older brother Roy O. Disney was asked by reporters why a grandfather had felt the obligation to tackle this impossible project at this point in his life. He told them: I didn’t want to have to explain to Walt when I saw him again why the dream didn’t come true. Later, Roy spent time in a boat on the Seven Seas Lagoon in front of the Magic Kingdom and when asked why he wasn’t in the park to handle all the media attention, he said: Today is my brother’s day. I want them to remember my brother today.

Walt Disney once said, “if you can dream it, you can do it.’ And he was right. The world is our playground. We can either stand on the sideline and watch everybody else play. Or we can join in. Be a child again and dream that you can conquer the world. Let’s

They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them

Dreams are elusive, and always pulling at you. They seem always to be right around the corner. But you never really know what you're chasing, until you catch it. If it turns out to be real magic, the chase will have been worth it.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” -Walt Disney   While

One night, Walt and I looked out over the audience and saw hundreds of Olympic athletes from around the world, people of every race, language and nation. Walt’s eyes shone as he said, “Isn’t that amazing? Here are all of these people, different in so many ways, yet united by their hopes and goals and dreams. This is how the world should be.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.” “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.” “Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.” “The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.

Walt Disney says, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” It takes a strong and consistent inner stance to stay focused on your dreams. You just have to be willing to, at times, turn off those filters that we all create to protect ourselves as adults. That’s when you become open to bringing something greater into your life. It might not seem so at the time, but we all have endless possibilities in the face of the hurdles life places in front of us. We only become unstoppable when we have a commitment to the hard work and the follow-through it takes to truly achieve what we set out to accomplish.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

True Love… it’s the most wonderful human emotion and one of the most elusive. We search for it, trying to find that one person in the whole world worthy enough to spend our lives with. When you look at the trail of broken hearts, the rivers of tears and the broken dreams, it’s quite obvious that it’s not an easy dream to achieve. Don’t we rightly call it the Quest for Love? That’s why when we think we’ve found the right person, we are giddy with happiness and relief. Finally! The answer to our prayers has come after such a long wait. We are safe. We are loved. A lot of women view marriage this way and I blame that on all the Walt Disney cartoons we watched as little girls. There’s this beautiful helpless princess locked away in a castle and here comes this handsome prince to save her from her miserable life. Classic. Then, after the grand wedding ball, the movie ends with: “And They Lived Happily Ever After.” That’s it? What happened afterwards? Nothing’s mentioned about that. We are made to think that it all ends there, that the couple’s happiness is secured and a given. They love each other, right? They went through all that trouble just to be together. So they’ll be happy. End of story.

Disneyland used to have many other companies with employees working at Disneyland, and those companies had their own hiring practices. As for Disneyland itself, the minimum age to be a cast member fluctuated. Sometimes applicants had to be 18 to be considered, sometimes 16 and 17 year-olds could work for Disney.

Not believe in Disney Magic! You might as well not believe in Santa Claus! You might get your papa to hire men to audit The Walt Disney Company (and there are plenty of people who would like to!), but even if they did not see Disney Magic, what would that prove? Nobody can bottle Disney Magic, but that is no sign that there is no Disney Magic. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor adults can prove exist, but can only experience.

If each of us would dream big dreams, approach life with hope and confidence, and persevere until our dreams come true, then we would not only be more like Walt, but we would become the people God created us to be.

Isn’t that amazing? Here are all of these people, different in so many ways, yet united by their hopes and goals and dreams. This is how the world should be.” The

In Hollywood, there lived a young artist by the name of Tony D’Orazi who dreamed of hosting his own radio show someday despite having a great job as an artist for an upstart animation studio called Walt Disney Productions

I watched a documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about a master sushi chef from Tokyo named Jiro Ono, whose restaurant has three Michelin stars and is one of the most sought-after reservations in the world. In the film, he’s in his late eighties and still trying to perfect his art. He is described by some as being the living embodiment of the Japanese word shokunin, which is “the endless pursuit of perfection for some greater good.” I

It’s not, at least as I have internalized it, about perfectionism at all costs (something Roone wasn’t especially concerned about). Instead, it’s about creating an environment in which you refuse to accept mediocrity. You instinctively push back against the urge to say There’s not enough time, or I don’t have the energy, or This requires a difficult conversation I don’t want to have, or any of the many other ways we can convince ourselves that “good enough” is good enough.

But over time, and many visits, it seemed that she was all that the King wanted. Her life began to seem like a dream: light, ethereal, and breathtaking. The King’s people embraced her.

He was beautiful, but even more so in his formal attire, with his dark hair and pale eyes. His glistening sword hung at his side, and his tall boots shined in the candlelight. The Queen felt as if she were floating in a dream.

As a leader, you should want those around you to be eager to rise up and take on more responsibility, as long as dreaming about the job they want doesn’t distract them from the job they have. You can’t let ambition get too far ahead of opportunity. I’ve seen a lot of people who had their sights set on a particular job or project, but the opportunity to actually get that thing was so slim. Their focus on the small thing in the distance became a problem. They grew impatient with where they were. They didn’t tend enough to the responsibilities they did have, because they were longing so much for something else, and so their ambition became counterproductive.

systems. I witnessed firsthand how people lived behind the Iron Curtain, and got a sense of the daily challenges of their lives. (I can still remember looking out over darkened Bucharest during the nightly brownouts when the government shut down the electrical grid in winter.) I also saw the ways in which their dreams were no different from the dreams of the average person in America.

I never dreamed I would one day lead the company responsible for so many of my greatest childhood memories,” I wrote, “or that my professional journey would eventually bring me here.

He dreamed big dreams - impossible dreams they told him. Then he moved heaven and earth to make his dreams come true. When you, as a leader, start with a vision, then communicate that vision to the people you lead, utilize your people skills to motivate and inspire them, maintain your character and integrity at every decision-point, command with competence, lead with boldness and confidence, and support your people with your serving heart, your vision will become your reality.

It’s important to know how to find the balance—do the job you have well; be patient; look for opportunities to pitch in and expand and grow; and make yourself one of the people, through attitude and energy and focus, that your bosses feel they have to turn to when an opportunity arises. Conversely, if you’re a boss, these are the people to nurture—not the ones who are clamoring for promotions and complaining about not being utilized enough but the ones who are proving themselves to be indispensable day in and day out.

All people are essentially creative because we are all made in the image of a creative God. Creativity is our birthright; imagination is the essence of our being. Only when we are dreaming big dreams are we truly fulfilling our God-given purpose in life.

Don't sleep to rest, sleep to dream, because dreams are to be fulfilled

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney (1901 – 66)

But since you’re still dreaming of creating Disney Magic, I’ll tell you a secret: you have to make your own Pixie Dust. You must decide every day that reality is not going to get in your way; instead you embrace it and use your knowledge of the system to your advantage. You look in the eyes of every happy child and mine the gold that lies there. You learn to endure the operational ironies and focus instead on meeting and exceeding guests’ expectations, because the joy in their faces makes it worth the extra effort. You take to heart the words and legacy of Walt and invest yourself in keeping them alive for the child in every adult.

I am Walt Disney. I know that the person who makes dreams come true is YOU.
