Well I was skimming the paper for something to do my history fair on and I was like hey maybe I could do it on Walt Disney so I went to my teacher and was like hey teach can I do my history fair on Walt Disney and he was like what dose it have to do with a frontier in history and I told him that Walter Elias Disney was an American animator, film producer and entrepreneur. And he was born and died December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966 and he said sounds great to me do your best and I said okay. Any ways this is how Walt Disney relates to frontiers in history. In early 1965, cartoonist, filmmaker, and visionary entrepreneur Walt Disney began quietly purchasing large tracts of land in Central Florida. Inspired by the success of his theme park Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Disney wanted to develop his original idea more fully by creating an expansive vacation destination on America’s east coast. Attracted by Florida’s temperate climate and already established tourist trade, Disney decided to build his new “Magic Kingdom” in the center of the state, near Orlando. By October 1965, Disney had acquired nearly 43 square miles of Central Florida land. Nearby residents speculated wildly that a huge industrial plant or some secret government installation was being built in their backyard. The following month, Disney held a press conference in Orlando announcing his plans to develop Walt Disney World. It would be a much larger version of Disneyland, and unlike the California property; Walt Disney World would have room for further expansion. This may be true, however, he was able to earn respect by many for his work and attitude towards his work. Also, despite being in the midst of the Great Depression, he was able to boost the economy with his award winning film Snow White. Walt Disney was an extremely important figure in American history, as he helped to create many iconic American characters and films. He was also a powerful advocate for the arts and education, and helped to promote the American film industry. I also hope I can learn more about Walt Disney and what he did I find it very interesting what he does like making a movie can be stressful like even writing a book can be stressful. So what I know from his is as a kid I think he lived on a farm and when he was like starting Disney Walt worked with many animators to make Disney and he worked so hard he got a competitive Academy Award
