The Disney Effect
Wednesday, December 5th, 2001 marks a very special day for the massive Disney family. It’s the Centennial of Walter Elias Disney’s birth; good ol’ Uncle Walt.
On that day, friends, relatives, and millions of people he never knew, would celebrate the man, the legend, and most importantly… the promise of Walt’s Dream. A world so perfect. A world void of time, famine, plague, and these days, war.
Walt left the world a legacy that could never be rivaled in all of human history. He brought the world a place to escape from life. A place where an 80 year-old woman can become a youthful princess, and a little boy can travel to the far depths of space. If Disneyland is the place of dreams, then Walt was Mr. Sandman. He put all of America to a sweet, peaceful sleep while singing her a soft lullaby.
