Walt Disney
“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” (Walt Disney) This is exactly what Walt Disney did. Walt Elias Disney was born on December 5th, 1901. Disney and his brother Roy co-founded the famous Walt Disney Productions.

Even just a Disney hotel chain would be fantastic because that would still be a way that families that can’t afford to take their children to Disney World can still bring magic to their
