Walt Disney Oct. 2015 | Page 28

walt disney Disney’s last project was Disney World. Built on 27,500 acres in Florida, it was to be much more than an amusement park. Surrounding the park, we plan to build an experimental community of the future. Toward the end of 1966, Walt Disney had to go into the hospital several times. Whenever he had visitors, Walt would talk to them about his plans for Disney World. This is where we’ll put the monorail … He died on December 15 at the age of 65. But Walt Disney Productions goes on without Walt, as he would have wanted it to. As for that other Disney “gang,” Mickey, Donald and the rest, they may be sure of a long and happy future in the hearts and eyes of many generations to come! 25
