The nicest thing you can say about Walt Disney, 'blink', was that he was "human"- he WAS a decent man, but he had his faults and frailities; he could be grouchy, irritable, sulky, tempermental, and hold grudges against those he didn't like (and above all, he could be VERY pissed off if someone said to him, "You can't do this"). There were some prejudices he believed in, probably because of his Midwestern background.
Yes, this was orginally shown the day the park opened-July 17, 1955- as part of a live 90 minute special over ABC. Walt was not accustomed to appearing on live television- and sometimes, the nastier side of his personality would appear if he was caught in an embarrassing situation...like this.
I didnt notice that i had included the mishap in the dedication. I probably wouldnt have left it in if I had noticed earlier, but I'll just leave it so people can see Walt pissed off!
