Walt Disney

     Disney was one of the most famous people in history.  Walter Disney was born on December 5,1901 in Chicago, Illinois.  He lived with four other siblings.  His mother's name was Flora Disney.  His father's name was Elias Disney.
      Disney attended McKinely High School.  He never graduated high school, but instead dropped out! He decided to go to art schools rather than finishing high school.  He went to Kansas City to enroll in their art institute.  This time, he graduated and went home to his family in Chicago.  Even there, he enrolled in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.
     Disney died on December 15,1966.  His death was in Burbank, California.  The last years of his life were spent releasing full-length films.  A few years before his death, he opened an amusement park in California that we all know as Disney Land.  Even though many people around the world still enjoy his magic, they missed the cheerful man who made dreams come true.  It was a sad day in history when Walter Elias Disney died.
