"Oh, he's so handsome... just like his reward posters."

I was surfing the web and came across another blog which was talking about a new book that came out about Disney's secretaries.  This got me to thinking that as much as I've be interested in Disney, I never felt the need to know about Walt Disney himself; therefore ...Things about Walt Disney that I didn't know until today!

• He married his first official secretary
• His father was Canadian, and abusive
• He attended McKinley High --- that's for the Gleeks out there : ]
• He tried to join the army at 16 but was rejected for being too young
• He joined the Red Cross and drove a cartoon-covered ambulance in France
• He had a problem managing money which led to his first company going bankrupt
• Oswald was created before Mickey, he lost the rights to Oswald so he needed a replacement character
• He held the Technicolor patten for two years
• He felt guilty for the death of his mother, he bought his parents a house near his studios and a faulty furnace caused her to die
• He was diagnosed with cancer when he went in to get x-rays of an old polo injury
• He created and funded Cal Arts

Fascinating, at least to me.

and ooohhhhh my goodness I would die if this could be mine, it's so cute! Hint to Chris, if you wanted to do something special this would be it ... http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/04/be-a-royal-princess-at-walt-disney-world-and-now-at-home/ too bad it's a few hundred dollars. A girl can dream.
