The Disneyland Traveler Blog

A personal exploration of Disney media along with the chronicling of my many trips to Disneyland through the years. And while this is primarily a Disney and Disneyland blog, along the way I occasionally contribute writings on some other pop culture and media topics just for the fun of it. There are almost 800 posts to this blog. Click through the Archives and I hope you have a good time. Enjoy The Disneyland Traveler Blog (completely without ads or annoying attempts to sell you anything).

Photos of Walt

Walt Disney Morning Stroll Through Disneyland
A Disney Photo

Walt Disney was a very complex man who lived a very public life. He created a body of work through animation, television, films, and theme parks where he was only too pleased and proud to bring his creations to world himself. You can call him a showman, an entertainer, but beneath the persona he gave to the public was a driven creative visionary and a man who constantly tried to achieve greater things. He just wanted to take everyone else along on his journey through a world he looked at differently than just about everybody else on the planet.

There are countless photographs of Walt Disney on the internet of course. Rather than just post a bunch of them, I will re-post those photos that are released by Disney in their reflections of Walt through their media outlets and also catch my eye. Hope you enjoy.

Note: Unless otherwise noted - these are all official Disney photos.
