    I may be angry at the Disney Company today, but I will never hate Walt Disney himself. He’s an inspiration. He was a trailblazer in animation. I’m just glad he’s not around to see who is running his company today.

    As Walt Disney said once upon a time, "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there's imagination left in the world." And that's just what has happened over the past 64 years. New attractions have been opened, some have closed. But Walt's dream is still as alive as ever. This dream...called Disneyland.

      Yep, my friend and I spent a solid hour going over this speech trying to figure out what would be considered "problematic". We both came to the conclusion, that by the standards of the 1950', it was/is exceedingly polite and humble. We also came to the conclusion that the Disney company is now helmed by loonies and that if Walt Disney were to rise from the grave he'd fire every parasite at his company.

    I think Walt would be disappointed that Disney as a company was no longer working to be at the forefront of technology. And that the parks are no longer test grounds for experiments and exhibition of what is possible for society and transportation. I believe he would also be displeased to know that the park is no longer used to harbor and foster new ideas and concepts all its own. All efforts and interest have been sidelined in the name of intellectual property saturation.
