Happy Birthday, Walt! I think we can all agree on the fact that Walt Disney was the greatest innovator of his time, and he inspired so many people to do great things. It's astonishing, when you think about it, that we get to "walk in Walt's footsteps" each time we visit Disneyland. We get to stroll down the same street that Walt personally inspected day after day -- to make sure everything was perfect for his guests. He built Disneyland with us in mind, because Walt was always thinking about the future. Post your favorite Walt Disney quote below OR post about how Walt has affected your life.

"Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either." Walt Disney

"Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Walt Disney
This was the quote at the end of Meet the Robinson's and it is my absolute favorite. We actually have it framed and up in our home 😊 Happy Birthday, Uncle Walt! You are an amazing, American icon. You have helped in creating some of the most amazing memories and experiences for me and my family and for that I am eternally greatful! Not just at the Park, but Disney as a whole. ✨👍💙❤💜🎂

Happy birthday Walt! "All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." Walt has been the catalyst for creating many great memories for my family and I and a constant source of inspiration. - MightyWhitey

“To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” Everytime I hear this speech it reminds me how lucky and blessed I am. Walt did and said so many wonderful and inspirational things. When it comes down to it, one man kept his dream and did not allow the negativity of human nature to destroy it. Dream! Dream big! - aprilinjune4

Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget, they don't remember what It's like to be 12 yrs old. They patronize, they treat children as interiors. Well I won't do that. - Plutoin702

"A man should never neglect his family for business." I appreciate this quote most because even though he was a hard worker and successful businessman...it shows he didn't lose sight of his top priority: family. :) Eat cake everyone! - Darlingwendi

Happy birthday Walt! If it weren't for Disney cartoon or movies I never would have thought about going into animation. Everytime I walk down Main Street or anywhere in Disneyland I'm inspired to push myself harder to achieve that goal. "We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us." So thank you Walt for helping me realize my dream and a very Happy Birthday to you! - Mepenguin16

There are a lot of great things said by Walt and great stories about Walt, but the one that sticks with me the most is what Walt said when the last pictures of him were being taken at Disneyland. "You shoot, shoot, shoot all the film you need because if it’s not in the can, you will never have it." This is always in the back of my mind and I always take one more picture, think a little longer, try a little harder, walk a little farther. Thank you Walt for giving me the most eloquent example for living my life and doing everything I do. To read this great story go to the Disney Blog
