Walt Disney wasn't completely satisfied with Disneyland in California because the whole idea was that the park couldn't expand. One of his main points about the Park was that it would never be "finished", that there was always room for improvement. Anaheim (where Disneyland is located) did not allow him this opportunity as much as he would've liked. So, he took secret trips to Florida to scout a location for a new theme park. He chose Florida because, like California, the weather is almost always sunny and warm; the park could be enjoyed all year long.
Walt died not long after construction at WDW had begun, but because this was his dream, his family, friends, and coworkers decided to continue with what Walt called "The Florida Project".
