When Walt Disney opened Disneyland in Anaheim, California in 1955, it was the ultimate escape to a world of family-friendly fantasy and adventure. But it wasn’t long before the outside world began to encroach upon the Disney property, limiting the possibilities for expansion and interfering with the uncompromised retreat that Walt had envisioned.
For most of the world, the last name Disney is synonymous with the first name Walt. However, true Disney aficionados know that the world-famous company also owes a tremendous debt to Walt’s brother, Roy O. Disney.
