What’s Happening:

- While many of Walt’s ideas came to fruition in the form of theme parks and animated feature length films, one idea almost saw the construction of a ski resort in Mineral King, CA.
- The project was put on hold after a long environmental fight that eventually went to the Supreme Court. The legal battle helped reshape the environmental movement and contributed to laws that have been put into place to protect nature.

- Glasgow and Mayer are hitting the road and heading to Celebration, Florida to share their new project with the world.
- Hosted by West Osceola Library on May 3rd, fans can attend a presentation by the pair as they explore a more unknown story from Walt Disney’s life and legacy.
