Early Life

      Did you ever visit Disneyland? Do you just love Mickey Mouse? Well, the man that started it all is Walt Disney. Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Hermosa, Chicago, IL. His full name is Walter Elias Disney. His mothers name was Flora and his fathers name was Elias. He had 4 other siblings. 4 boys and 1 girls so a total of 5 children including Walt Disney. Walt lived most of his childhood in Marceline, Missouri where he began drawing and painting and selling his drawings to neighbors and family friends to make money. In 1911 his family moved to Kansas City where Walt developed the love for trains. At 16 years old Walt dropped out of school to join the Army, but was then rejected since he was underage. His first job was the newspaper boy. Also, his first business was called Laugh-O-Gram  From birth order their names are Herbert, Raymond, Boy, Walt, and Ruth. Walt was the youngest out of the 4 boys. Ruth was the youngest overall. Walt married Lilian and had 2 daughters-one biologically, the other adopted. Their full names are Diane Disney Miller and Sharon Mae Disney. Sharon is adopted.

                         Quotes    

          Walt Disney has a lot of quotes to guide through life. One of Walt Disney's quotes are "Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better." This quote is very motivating and courage's the readers that as long as they know that they tried their  best and that's all that matters. Another quote that Walt Disney said is "I don't make pictures just to make money. I make money to make more pictures." I think that this quote is very inspirational. This is because he doesn't care that he will get money in return for drawing in fact he made money to draw more and more pictures, so he likes his job a lot. In addition many people hate their jobs. Another quote is " The difference in winning and losing is most often... not quitting." I think that this quote shows a lot of characteristics for people to follow. This quote tells us that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, and the difference between the two is that you don't quit no matter how you rank in that game. These are 3 wonderful and meaningful quotes that Walt Disney once said.
