5.0 out of 5 stars Still reading this
Still reading but it’s a good book so far. I’m a Disney fanatic and I love the characters more than anything. I wanted to see the other side of Disney but people told me that was a bad idea but I’ll make that decision on my own
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book.
I have read this book before for a project in 5th grade. I can't wait to read it again.It came quickly and in great condition. It is just lovely!I love the fact it was written by someone who knew Walt personally.
5.0 out of 5 stars Get it!
If you love everything Disney, you'll love this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book, a must for Disney lovers
Omg I love this book and it looks so good on my media console! We just went to Disney and this year is the Disney 100 celebration so it was extra special and wonderful. I must have still been riding on the Disney high because when I got home I immediately purchased this commemorative edition book lol. I haven’t read the entire thing yet but what I have read has been very interesting and it just makes me like Walt Disney even more. What a hard working, tenacious, and innovative guy he was. Could parts of the book have been more detailed? Sure. But the book is made up of stories from 4 different authors and they did their best recounting their memories. I appreciated being able to peer into the window of Walt’s life, learning what I could. Right in the center of the book there are about 15 pages of pictures which were a delight to look at. The pictures really take you back in time. Most of them were in black and white but there were a few colored ones in there. This book is an absolute must for all Disney lovers!
4.0 out of 5 stars Decent bio with some questionable info, and some blatantly contrived stuff in it
The very first thing I noticed was that, for some reason, the author felt the need to change Walt's birthdate from a Thursday to a Sunday. And then that was kind of the deal with the entire book. I think the author spoke to Walt and his family/friends/associates and reported what they said, but then I think he took it upon himself to interpret it all from HIS perspective and alter or leave out things he didn't like or understand, and I don't think he really understood Walt as a person very well. He would report things he did or said but then blatantly fail to comprehend why, and it showed. I definitely feel like if the author could have gotten away with lying and saying Walt was a straight A student and an all American football star in college, he would have done that. He would have left out anything weird or not 100% "basic American normie" about him, which is pretty much everything about Walt. He was trying to paint Walt like a character from a Norman Rockwell painting. Walt was anything but a typical average human being. I wish somebody LIKE Walt would write his biography; somebody who understood him a little more.Anyway, it does get MOST of the facts straight, and I didn't see any malicious lies, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Childhood of Dreams Come True
I have been enchanted by all things Disney since the television first show with Micky Mouse. The Mickey Mouse Club was never missed at our house! Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color is imprinted on my brain like it was yesterday. We learned about ART- drawing, singing, music - particularly about every instrument in an orchestra, dancing, geography, HISTORY, and all things to encourage imagination, beauty, love of Nature, tolerance for other cultures, conservation and true innocent childlike innocence to BELIEVE! Walt Disney was such an amazing teacher. I am so grateful that I can step into my mind and dream. Because Dreams Are Forever!💋💋💋

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Absolutely Amazing!!
I am a huge Disney fan and wanted to learn more about the History. This book was recommended to me and I am so glad it was. This book is absolutely amazing!! The detail and research that obviously went in to writing this book is unbelievable!! Walt Disney was and is a true genius! I have really enjoyed getting to know him better and getting a better understanding of how things came to be. If you love Disney like I do. This is the book for you!!
