He didn't need fireworks, or a parade, or anything. The entire opening day celebration could have been that speech, and it would have been the greatest opening day celebration ever. Because those words are true.
Still have not been to Disneyland. Disney World, lots, but not the original. To be in the park that Walt actually walked through will be a huge thrill when it happens.
The greatest opening dedication speeches of all time.
We all miss you! And what would Walt Disney say to Disneyland, California Adventure, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, & Animal Kingdom? What took you so long. I hope to see you in the afterlife.
Damn modern society. Damn them. Some of the best rides at Disneyland were changed because of mothers complaining it scared their children, so they replaced them with generic happy rides.
This video had me drowning in my own tears by the end. Thank you so very much for uploading this.
Walt Disney was superhuman. Dare I say it, he may be my greatest hero and inspiration. I grew up watching his movies, going to his theme parks, and living my childhood to the absolute fullest.
Bless Walt for bringing so much joy to many children and families.
i could not have said it any better. i was also crying at the end of this. my whole life, disney has been the one thing that has been the one thing to make me happier than anything else has been able to.
What a world this place would be if Walkt Disney were President of United States....(It's cool we've got Barack, but I've always dreamed about "what if Disney didn't die?")
walt disney is a hero and still is and i will never forget what he has done for us in the past life with out him would of sucked compared to how we have student ambassadors and family friendly movies. that you Walt for what you did. even though you not here you still are doing something for the world thank you
Life without Disney would never be the same! I love Disneyland favorite theme park, I watch Disney Channel favorite channel, I even listen to Radio Disney (Sometime I like and stuff) he opened so many doors for us to enjoy, to bad he couldn't see what an amazing job he did for us all!
I used this quote for my conclusion of my tribute speech to this amazing man. It's sad that he's no longer with us, but as long as the spirit of his ideas lives on, then he'll still be here. :D
Right on. Walt may be gone, but his spirit lives in his parks. Always remember "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world"
last year, in my english class, we were assigned to read a biography as well, but we were not told what the actual work part would be. I picked Walt Disney, thinking it would be awesome to write a report on a man i consider such an inspiration. When we were told what to do, I was in total shock, but in a good way. We had to dress up like our character, bring a prop, and "tell our story." It was kool. for my prop, i brought in a stuffed mickey, and i did the best i could to dress up like walt.

Walt was, and always will be an amazing man.
Life without him, what he had created, well, i know there would be a Big peice of myself missing if it never happened.
He is a true Inspiration to us all, that dreams can come true..No matter what...No matter who you are, or what you do.
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
One of my favorite Walt disney quotes.
But, his opening speach will always send shivers down my spine, and bring a tear to my eye.

I recently did a report on Walt Disney, and I had to read a biography on him. After I read the sentence where he passed away, I started to cry.
Truly, this man was amazing.
Thanks for posting! :D
