Dear Walt

Disneylandfan#1 · 08-01-2006, 12:02 PM

Hey everyone this my first thread and so the topic of this thread is Dear Walt. What you do is say Dear Walt and then anything you want to say about the park or him in commemoration to him. I'll start.

Dear Mr. Disney,
Disneyland truly will not be complete as long as there is still imagination left in the world

Dear Walt,

You made so many wonderful films in your lifetime, and to this day people still enjoy them. You also built a magical park (Disneyland) and I love every minute I'm there! Thank you!!

Tigris · 08-01-2006, 12:52 PM

Dear Mr. Walt, Thank you for making a magical and happy place for
everyone to come together and share the magic! I will always enjoy my trips to all the disney parks remebering you who started it all! You have really made me smile! Thank's for everything!

chelsealela · 08-01-2006, 01:55 PM

Dear Walt, Words can't explain how amazing you are, you have made so many people smile! I also thank you for your hard work and dedtication through your films and parks. Disneyland has been an inspiration to so many. Hopefully i will see you the next time I visit! Everything you did is much appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Walt,
Life on this planet is short and you managed to do great things with the time that was given to you. As a man you're a legend and a hero to many people all over the world. As a symbol you are what all people should aspire to be, you used your imagination to create something that all ages, races and creeds can enjoy, and if every body had an imagination like yours and the belief that they can do the impossible the world would be a better place. I truly do believe this. The most I can offer to you is my thanks and my patronage and my love of everything that you created. Thank you Sir., for ever thing that you do and everything you've done. You made it possible for me to not just dream, but dream big.

Sincerely,
Matthew A.

A bit off topic but this is one of the best Topics I have ever seen. Kudos to you Disneylandfan#1.

Dear Walt,
thank you for creating such a great place for families to have fun together. even though people have their own opinions, disneyland is the greatest park around. if it were'nt for you, none of us on this site would be typing all these thank you's to you. thanks again!

p.s., great thread :)

Disneylandfan#1 · 08-01-2006, 08:50 PM

Thanks everyone! I just thought that since some of us couldn't really go to the grave I thought it would be nice to have all the members of this site to say something to Walt.

Oh sorry go on everyone

ShrunkenNed · 08-01-2006, 11:05 PM

Dear Walt,

Thank you for raising the bar. In theme parks, animation, customer service, entertainment, and so much more. So many people don't realize what that means anymore. So feel free to come back down and kick some sense into those who need it.

Sincerely,
Your Admirers

lpetiti · 08-03-2006, 11:52 AM

Dear Walt,
Thank you for everything you did. You are an inspiration to more people then you know.

Chatterbug · 08-03-2006, 01:56 PM

Dear Walt,

Thank-you for all that we have grown to know and love about the Disney Magic. From your imagination you have given us all a gift that keeps giving. Inspiring people all over the World to Dream and Create what has become some of our most cherished memories and encouragement to expand our dreams into the future.

With Great Admiration

Dear Walt,
Thank you for all of the wonderful things you did for the entertainment industry:

Thanks for popularizing Technicolor, and thanks for being such a perfectionist about color. The movies wouldn't be as dazzling as they are without you.
Thanks for turning the simple cartoon format into Art with a capital A, inventing the multi-plane camera and advancing Xerography.
Thanks for popularizing Widescreen movies, and for creating stereo and multi-channel soundtracks. You had a hand in that, too.
Thanks for making the early days of television so fascinating, and making every Sunday Night a must-see event.
Thanks for developing blue-screen technology.
Thanks for turning the seedy amusement park experience into a glamourous adventure, for prompting the invention of the steel-tube roller coaster, for plussing I don't know how many ride technologies.

Also thanks for improving so many other things in our lives. Thank you for you optimistic vision of a better life for the future, and all the things you have done to help bring that about:

Thanks for low floor trains, streetcars and busses that we can just walk on without having to climb stairs. If your imagineers hadn't invented the PeopleMover, perhaps no-one would have thought of it.
Thanks for all those moving walkways and speedramps we have in the big airports. And probably the parking lot trams too.

I think if I continued listing things like this, I may never stop typing....

Most of all, thanks for placing real human values higher than material values. Thanks for believing in us. We are all very, very grateful.
Sincerely,
Ezra

Dear Walt,
I never really cared about you as a kid because I never knew that Walt Disney was a guy. I wish that you would of been alive longer because of the amazing rides Disneyland could of gotten if you were still here. Anyway byez.

DV Brer Rabbit · 08-04-2006, 05:42 AM

Dear Walt,

Thank you for making Disneyland and Mickey Mouse!
And of course Alice in Wonderland the ride!

Ezra · 08-04-2006, 11:33 AM

P.S. I wish you could have lived longer too. I wanted to live in the Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow when I grew up. I know you would have found a way to complete it. ~Ez

Chatterbug · 08-04-2006, 12:06 PM

Dear Walt,

I am so glad you decided to go ahead with makeing the movie Alice in Wonderland. I know that was a movie you were unsure of. In the end it was filled with such Wonderful imaginative design work and characters.
