In a little bit more than a year, the Walt Disney Company, one of the most famous film companies in film history will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort. The world's largest theme park was opened on October 1rst, 1971. This theme park, was created by the Walt Disney Company whom also created Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The founder of the theme parks, the films and Mickey Mouse as many of you might know, was Walt Disney.
Walt Disney is probably on of the most famous filmmakers in film history. Walt won 26 Academy Awards out of 59 nominations, more than any other filmmaker or actor. He created along with his brother Roy O. Disney the Walt Disney Company, the world's largest entertainment and media conglomerate in the world. Walt Disney, after creating Disneyland, wanted to create a second park to supplement the first. He discovered that only 2% of the visitors in Disneyland came east of the Mississippi River, and knew that 75% of the population in the US lived in the East at the time. So, after searching for a long time, he bought a large piece of land in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Sadly, Walt died in 1966, 4 years before the park opened. His brother died 3 months after Walt Disney World opened.
