When did Walt Disney start his career?
After Walt's birth, the Disney family moved to Marceline Missouri, Walt lived most of his childhood here.
Walt had very early interests in art, he would often sell drawings to neighbors to make extra money. He pursued his art career, by studying art and photography by going to McKinley High School in Chicago.
Walt began to love, and appreciate nature and wildlife, and family and community, which were a large part of agrarian living. Though his father could be quite stern, and often there was little money, Walt was encouraged by his mother, and older brother, Roy to pursue his talents.
During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist for military service. Rejected because he was under age, only sixteen years old at the time. Instead, Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent overseas to France, where he spent a year driving an ambulance and chauffeuring Red Cross officials. His ambulance was covered from stem to stern, not with stock camouflage, but with Disney cartoons.
Once Walt returned from France, he began to pursue a career in commercial art. He started a small company called Laugh-O-Grams, which eventually fell bankrupt. With his suitcase, and twenty dollars, Walt headed to Hollywood to start anew.
After making a success of his "Alice Comedies," Walt became a recognized Hollywood figure. On July 13, 1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. Later on they would be blessed with two daughters, Diane and Sharon .
In 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees(the first color cartoon) won Walt the first of his studio's Academy Awards. In 1937, he released The Old Mill, the first short subject to utilize the multi-plane camera technique.
On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated musical feature, premiered at the Carthay Theater in Los Angeles. The film produced at the unheard cost of $1,499,000 during the depths of the Depression, the film is still considered one of the great feats and imperishable monuments of the motion picture industry. During the next five years, Walt Disney Studios completed other full-length animated classics such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi.
Walt Disney's dream of a clean, and organized amusement park, came true, as Disneyland Park opened in 1955. Walt also became a television pioneer, Disney began television production in 1954, and was among the first to present full-color programming with his Wonderful World of Color in 1961.
Walt Disney is a legend; a folk hero of the 20th century. His worldwide popularity was based upon the ideals which his name represents: imagination, optimism, creation, and self-made success in the American tradition. He brought us closer to the future, while telling us of the past, it is certain, that there will never be such as great a man, as Walt Disney.

Is the kingdom keepers series a good one?
I have read the first Kingdom Keepers book twice and the second one once. I'd say it's a good read for a Disney fan, but it's not for everyone. If you love the Disney parks and know "everything" about them, you will take note of errors in the first book (e.g. "Fanasmics" should be "Fantasmic!" toward the end). I personally enjoyed the series the first time I read it rather than the second time around.
Try the first one if you're a fan of Disney parks.
Who took over the Disney company after Roy Disney died?
There was quite a lag between Roy Disney's death before Michael Eiasner took over. Walt died in 1966. Roy died in 1971. Walt's son in law Ronald W. Miller ran the company in between. Ron married Walt's daughter Diane.
There is confusion between Roy O. Dinsey (Walt's brother) and Roy E. Disney (Walt's nephew). Roy E. Disney is the one who brought in Michael Eisner in 1984.
Ron Miller remains an unknown name to most people, and there's contreversy about his legacy since the company was in need of help at the end of his reign, but he's the one who actually was running things as the company completed Walt's vision of Epcot at Walt Disney World.
