Episode 31 - Why The WALT Is So Important With Jeff Barnes
from The Pixie Dust Fan Podcast - A Disney Parks Podcast · host Pixie Dust Fan
It has always been important to me that I call it Walt Disney World. It became a pet peeve of mine when I would see blogs and social media posts referring to it as 'Disney World' - I always want to comment "don't forget WALT"! When I saw some top Disney executives call it 'Disney World' I started to doubt myself, is it really supposed to be Walt? Who could I ask to clear this up for me? The best person I knew to talk about the history of Walt would be Jeff Barnes! Jeff Barnes is is the best-selling author of The Wisdom of Walt: Leadership Lessons from the Happiest Place on Earth and Beyond the Wisdom of Walt: Life Lessons from the Most Magical Place on Earth. Known as Dr. Disneyland, he teaches the only accredited college course on the History of Disneyland. I think this makes him more than qualified to talk about this subject! It was a blast talking to Jeff and hearing the stories and history of Walt and Roy - and their journey to Walt Disney World Show Notes and References: Jeff Barnes Website: The Wisdom Of Walt Buy Jeff's Books: The Wisdom of Walt: Leadership Lessons from the Happiest Place on Earth Beyond the Wisdom of Walt: Life Lessons from the Most Magical Place on Earth Find Pixie Dust Fan Online: Website: www.PixieDustFan.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/PixieDustFan Instagram: www.instagram.com/PixieDustFan Join our Facebook group: Pixie Dust Fans Visit our Amazon store for items we talk about on any of the podcast episodes, or to support Pixie Dust Fan shop here
