Here are some excellent quotes from Walt Disney, that the company , as a whole, seems to have forgotten about:

"Everybody thinks that the Park is a gold mine - but we have had our problems. You've got to work it and know how to handle it. Even trying to keep that park clean is a tremendous expense. And those sharp pencil guys tell you, 'Walt, if we cut down on maintenance, we'd save a lot of money.' But I don't believe in that - it's like any other show on the road; it must be kept clean and fresh."

"Now, when we opened Disneyland, outer space was Buck Rogers. I did put in a trip to the moon. And I got Wernher Von Braun to help me plan the thing. And, of course, we were going up to the moon long before Sputnik. And since then has come Sputnik and then has come our great program in outer space. So I had to tear down my Tomorrowland that I built 11 years ago and rebuild it to keep pace.

And some of my personal favorites:
"You hate to repeat yourself. I don't like to make sequels to my pictures. I like to take a new thing and develop something, a new concept."

"By nature I'm an experimenter. To this day, I don't believe in sequels. I can't follow popular cycles. I have to move on to new things. So with the success of Mickey, I was determined to diversify."

Any thoughts?

Wow. I can't believe that people would actually do things that Walt would have hated like that...

Wow.

You know, people always forget that this whole entire website, really, is the doing of Walt Disney. We need to thank him more. And thanking him is not doing what he wouldn't like us to do.

Seems they've forgetten he said those last two with POTC.

Personally I like to apply the last two to almost anything that is a duplicate. This includes those clones of rides that keep getting placed at all the parks. I mean is it really that difficult to create somthing original for each park, thus giving guests a reason to want to visit them all? A very simple example is when they added Soarin to Epcot. You see, now no one has any reason to visit DCA to ride it, since they can just visit Epcot now.

Personally I would love to crash a board meeting and present these fun qoutes.

I found some more Walt quotes:

"I hope when I am gone someday, that those in charge never make a movie called Brother Bear."

"Alterations to the Pirates of the Caribbean will always be welcome so long as they are in good taste, such as adding a few scenes from the movie that saved Disney."

"We need stronger air freshners in the restrooms at Rancho del Zocalo."

Those arent true! Thats not even good to make fun of them. He wouldnt be happy if he saw people posting rude things. Respect Walt! Because if it wasnt to him we wouldnt have a Disney or VMK! So stop being Rude, he is the creator of it all.. those quotes arent funny.

Back on topic :D

What a great man wish i can see him again to hug him!

walt was an amazing man and will always be that way in my book
i just hope that we all remember that HE was the one who started this and if HE never started this dream we would not be here today
my own quote:
"This dream will never be forgotten or fade away. And as long as this earth rotates this dream will never be finished."

i love walt disney! =)

.. here a couple of quotes i liked:

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse."

"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."

Some of these sequals i have to agree really disgust me. i am glad that they did make some of the sequals, but most were really not needed. although with Fantasia 2000 that one was made in honor of Walt by his nephew Roy so i am okay with that. i love your first quote BTW liljesi its a classic and my all time favorite. now here are my quotes:

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. "

"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. "

"Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney"

"Whenever I go on a ride, I'm always thinking of what's wrong with the thing and how it can be improved. " (maybe the cast imagineers should look at this one)

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." (they may have lost this along the way too)

"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."
- Walt Disney

My favorite quote of his *tear tear

My favorite quote of all time: "To all who come to this happy place..Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relieves fond memories of the past. And youth may savor the challenge and the promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world" that makes me cry alot lol

we need someone like him to come and run disney again i do like soarin cause we cant afford to go to california but the rest of the stuff keeps going downhill

"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."
