"I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral" my favorite Walt Disney quote!
Good one! Don't see that one too often. - DisneyPhotoFan

Cool quote but raises a question for me. If "they" didn't finance him who did? - Wizard

He still found financing eventually. - Ht

I was just curious. I read somewhere that Walt got his financing from not so nice "alternative" sources. - Wizard

@ P&C What me? I'm just curious if anyone else knew if this was factual or not. I don't know if what I read was true. Thought this would be a good place to ask? - Wizard

I seriously doubt it was dubious connections. His brother attracted the money and there were too many bug companies into it to think that there were shady investors. - Missshelly

Who knows what the truth is. I have seen and heard alot of good and bad about Walt Disney and I hope that all the bad was not true but like anything we will never know - MissNDisney

So am I P&C. Walt was a dreamer and so am I. He inspired me in so many ways but that's a whole other post. No offense to Walt or his memory. I just like to research the struggles well knowm of self made people. I like learning what mistakes to avoid etc.. - Wizard

Thanks for the input. Yes There could be a lot of explanations but can't we all agree either way Walt was just following his dreams. That's what matters an inspires future generations - Javelin
