Walt by Ryan (Nov 1)

This morning we got up a little later than usual and got onto the next bus to Hollywood Studios. We went on several rides like the Rockin Roller Coster. That was the first roller coster that went upside down I've been on. After that we went to the Walt Disney museum. Here are some of the things I learned about him. Walt Disney was the guy who created Mickey Mouse. Mickey was not his first good idea though. He also created Oswald the lucky rabbit but lost Oswald do to a contract dispute. He created Mickey on his way home from New York after he lost Oswald. Walt had a big success with Mickey and created many more characters like Snow White and the seven Dwarfs. When he took his daughters out on family days he realized that there was not a family place where they could all have fun so he created Disney Land. After he finished Disney Land he decided to make another family park called Disney World. He never got to see Disney World get completed because of his death but his brother (and best friend) finished it for him. He also changed the name to Walt Disney World in honor of his brother.
After the museum we went to the Lego shop and then had cheeseburgers for dinner. It was a fun day.
