Today I would like to ask you to imagine our world without Walt Disney. And without magic and optimism, charming cartoons and adorable movies, funky creatures and spectacular amusement parks as a part of Disney. Would you like to live in such a world? I am ready to bet, your answer will be NO. Walt Disney gave this world theme park design, Walt Disney Productions, and a number of popular fictional characters including Mickey Mouse.

It was Walt who transformed the entertainment industry into something we know today. The career of Walt was blistering and amazing. During his 43-year Hollywood career he got fifty-nine Academy Award nominations and won twenty-six Oscars. Disney was the first man to make dreams of people come true.

Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago Illinois, however most of his childhood he spent in Marceline, Missouri. Since the early age he was interested in drawing, and art. Also he loved railroads and spent most of his time while drawing and listening to sounds of approaching trains. According to Walt – railroads gave him a feeling of freedom. The boy draw his inspiration from his mother and nature around him. Besides drawing, he was fond of acting and performing and he did it amazingly.

During the fall of 1918 he was a driver for Red Cross officials and that was where his drawing talent flowered. After returning home he began producing short animated films  in Kansas City. His first company was named Laugh-O-Grams and it went bankrupted. But that was only a beginning. He headed for Hollywood and in a couple of years he was on its top.

I still remember my first visit into Disneyland. I was simply stunned and amazed, I have never seen something like this before, it was a city of its own, governed by Mickey Mouse. It was charming and really special. I was in a fairy-tale, surrounded by spectacular views and beloved cartoon heroes.

One more thing I would like to tell about Walt Disney, he made Orlando one of “the most popular tourist destination in the world” and Orlando Vacation Rentals belong to one of the most attractive in the USA.
