It's difficult to distinguish between Walter Elias Disney, the man, and the global behemoth that is Disney. In 2010, the Walt Disney Company's revenues were US$36 billion. Apart from creating some of the world's best loved films and cartoons, Walt Disney is recognised as an important innovator in theme park design.
Among those parks currently bearing his name are the Walt Disney World Resorts and Disneyland in the US, and Disneyland Hong Kong, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disney. Walt Disney discount vouchers are a good way for anyone wanting to take the family into the remarkable world of Disney to get money off the price.
The idea for Disneyland came about during a trip to Chicago when Walt began sketching ideas for a place where employees and their families could take a break together. As the idea grew in momentum, a separate company, WED Enterprises, was established to look after the project. The first park opened in 1955, and those wishing to visit today can do so by using Walt Disney discount codes when they book.
In 1964, Walt revealed plans for a new theme park, to be located in Orlando, Florida, which was to be known as Disney World. It was to feature resort hotels and golf courses as well as the Magic Kingdom and the futuristic EPCOT Centre. The rest is history, and a visit to any of the parks around the world is made more of a bargain with a Walt Disney discount voucher.
