For my National History Day project my topic is Walt Disney. I've always loved Disney and it is really fun to figure out a ton of facts about the original creator! I thought I would share my top 7 favorite facts I've learned.
1: He has 4 siblings 3 brothers and 1 sister
2: He dropped out of highschool to join the military at age 16. I think this is cool that he wanted to serve for our country in WWI
3. Oswald the lucky rabbit was stolen from Walt by the distributor Charles mintze
4. He thought of Mickey Mouse on a train car
5. Mickeys original name was Mortimer
6. He married Lillian Bounds
7. Disney land was originally going to be built in the back lot of his first studio.
