    The Walt Disney Company started in a small office in 1923 and produced short animated films. Over the next 14 years, many famous Disney characters like Mickey Mouse were created. In 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was a worldwide success, allowing Disney to purchase land and build a new studio in Burbank specifically for animated films. Disneyland and later Walt Disney World expanded the company's theme park business and became major vacation destinations.

    The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 in the rear of a small


    office occupied by Holly-Vermont Realty in Los Angeles. It was
    there that Walt Disney, and his brother Roy, produced a series of
    short live-action/animated films collectively called the ALICE
    COMEDIES. The rent was a mere $10 a month. Within four
    months, the ever-growing staff moved next door to larger facilities,
    where the sign on the window read "Disney Bros. Studio."
    CHARACTERS

     During the next 14 years, many changes took place at the


    Disney studio: Mickey Mouse was "born" in 1928, followed by
    Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, and the rest of the Disney gang.
    MOVE TO BURBANK

    In 1937, Disney's innovative first full length animated feature,


    SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, was released to
    critical acclaim and worldwide success. In order to expand and
    meet the expectations of his audience, Walt saw a need to increase
    the size of his studio. With profits from SNOW WHITE, he made a
    deposit on 51 acres of land in Burbank and began designing a
    modern studio specifically for the purpose of making animated
    films.
    During the 1940s and 1950s many prominent animated features
    were produced in Burbank, including FANTASIA, BAMBI,
    CINDERELLA, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and PETER PAN
    Disnayland then…
    After the success of Disneyland, it was only natural for Walt to
    consider another park on the East Coast. Prior to his death the
    Company purchased land in Florida, and the Walt Disney World
    project, located on some 28,000 acres near Orlando, was announced. It
    opened October 1, 1971. In Florida, the Company had the space it
    lacked in California. Finally there was room to create a destination
    resort, unencumbered by the urban sprawl that had grown up around
    Disneyland. Walt Disney World would include not only a Magic
    Kingdom theme park like Disneyland but also hotels, campgrounds,
    golf courses, and shopping villages. It did not take long for Walt
    Disney World to become the premier vacation destination in the world.
    Disnayland now
    Roy O. Disney, who after Walt’s death oversaw the building and
    financing of Walt Disney World, died late in 1971, and for the next
    decade the Company was led by a team including Card Walker,
    Donn Tatum and Ron Miller — all originally trained by the Disney
    brothers. One of Walt Disney’s last plans had been for the
    Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT, as he
    called it. While he died before the plans could be refined, they were
    brought out again in a few years, and in 1979 ground was broken for
    the new park in Florida. Epcot Center, a combination of Future
    World and World Showcase representing an investment of over a
    billion dollars, opened to great acclaim October 1, 1982.
