Walt suffered from stress-induced nervous conditions (starting in 1931). One doctor believed it to be a thyroid deficiency, prescribing a series of injections, which only made the condition worse. His usual course of treatment (always successful) was lengthy vacations away from the studio.
During a polo game in 1937, Walt was injured and crushed four cervical vertebrae. Instead of being placed in a cast, the chiropractor who treated him actually contributed to an arthritic condition. It also caused calcium deposits in his neck. The pain intensified with age, and he received daily treatment for it.
In the 1950s he began having sinus issues. Weekly treatment was prescribed for this pain, but Walt was more susceptible to infections and cold. It is also believed that he has pneumonia at least twice.
Walt was a long-time smoker and was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1966, during a surgical consultation for his old polo injury. An X-ray show a walnut-sized spot on his left lung. After having the lung removed, his health continued to fail. He had little strength or appetite. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966 of acute circulatory collapse.

Why did Walt Disneys bisiness Iwerks-Disney become bankrupt?
First, Walt himself was a very poor money manager and continued to borrow money when the company was not able to pay the debts it already had. Second, the company might have done much better if it had been located in New York or Los Angeles instead of Kansas City where there was not a sizable market for his Laugh o Grams. In his later life his brother would handle more of the business side of his ventures.

How do you get to the dog in Pirates of the Caribbean?
In the pirates of the carribean movie the cute little puppy is in the jail right in front of the cell. All the criminals in that cell are whistling and holding bones and ropes to get the dog to come to them because he has the keys. In the ride at Walt Disney World is the same scene but instead of in front of you on the TV, its on the right of you and they look so real! Im not sure on the one in Disneyland but I think its the same. And something cool is that the doggie on the movie and attractions of pirates of the carribean, carosel of progress (attraction) and many more movies and rides that have a dog in them are modeled after Walt Disneys own dog.
