Welcome to the wonderful world of Disney! Disney World is a magical place where anything is possible. Walt Disney, the creator of Disney, managed to become a millionaire off of cartooning. Walt Disney was a failure for most of his life; his first professional was stolen by the company he worked for. His first successful cartoon was a series of Mickey Mouse cartoons, which soon lead to a TV show. He eventually made enough money to build a theme park and everything sprung from there.
