As most of us know, on December 5, 1901, Walt Disney was born to Elias and Flora Disney. He's the creator of Mickey Mouse, the innovator that helped develop the multiplane camera, the daring animator that took a chance on the full-length animated feature when others said it couldn't be done.
He built a kingdom for children to play and learn with their parents. He celebrated nature in all its beauty. He was a man who loved his family. Following the storymen that came before him, such as James M. Barrie, Walt Disney believed that children should never have to grow up.
Without Walt, some of our favorite childhood memories just wouldn't be. Thanks to Walt, we can believe that elephants fly, a sword in a stone can make a boy king, and a girl can become a princess just by fitting a slipper. Magic is real to us because of one man.
So, on this day we celebrate that man's birth. Let's party!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE WALT!!!

We owe alot to Mr. Disney. His creations and legacy bought us all together as a community and I really believe that that's what Disney is all about. Togetherness, family, and of course... magic. Walt Disney's legacy still lives on, and that my friends, is magic. How one person could bring so many people together and make so many people happy... there's no other word for it than true magic!

I teared up reading this. Happy birthday, Walt. I don't even want to think what my life would have been like if you'd never existed.
