44 years ago today.....

we lost Mr. Disney. :( I think it's safe to say all of us here are thankful for/touched/inspired/awed in some way by this wonderful man.

What more would have been if he had been around just a few years more :(

[SBETigg]

Wow, 44 years. Well said, Melanie. I'm still in awe with all he has created, and so grateful for it.

A toast to Walt - thank you for our favourite place to be!!

[magicofdisney]

I'm grateful for what he gave us and sad for what could have been.

[rubato]

Thank you Walt!!!!!!!

[pdrlkr]

Thanks Walt.

[magicofdisney]

I'm grateful for what he gave us and sad for what could have been.

This statement seems somber. I want to clarify by saying I'm sad for his visions that didn't come to fruition; specifically, Epcot. Not that I don't LOVE Epcot, but after watching and reading about his initial vision for the community of tomorrow, I'd have LOVED to see it become a reality.

Gone but NEVER forgotten.
