Episode 31 - Why The WALT Is So Important With Jeff Barnes

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
