Description

"I cannot imagine living in a world without Walt Disney." Joe Cosgrove Walt Disney's life long journey comes to life as breaking news headlines that entertain and engage dreamers of all ages. This novel storytelling is based on Joe's firsthand experience as well as from friends and mentors who worked closely with Walt during the 1930's through the 1960's. Readers will enter the circle of nearness of Walt Disney's life journey as he transform's and revolutionizes movie cartoons into a powerful new art form. Walt becomes the Founding Father of modern movie animation with the release of his first full length feature film, Snow White. This was the prelude of Walt's bigger dream to create something totally new under the sun. Driven by endless curiosity and courage, Walt Disney's dreams gave birth to the greatest real estate developments and tourist attractions in history with Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Today Walt's impossible dream is still growing. For all those people who helped make his dream come true with the opening of Disneyland in 1955, Walt created a special place called Club 33. Joe Cosgrove was there the day the Club opened in 1967. Club 33 was a secluded hideaway in the Happiest Place on earth for many years until the LA Times wrote a feature titled: "The Most Exclusive Club in the World." Joe reveals some fascinating Club 33 stories during its early secret years. This is also the story of other extraordinary dreamers, visionaries, leaders, innovators and heroes whose lives one day serendipitously intersected with Joe Cosgrove. These ordinary people who did extraordinary things include Joshua Meador, Harrison "Buzz" Price, Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, Steve Allen, Charles E. Fuller and Billy Graham who are just some of the personalities in this wide reaching story of notable people who help change our world for the better. WALT DREAMERS ME celebrates the American heritage of individual liberty with headline making news of exceptional individuals motivated by the highest possible standards of excellence who created innovations that greatly changed our imagination, our culture and our world for the better. These true life adventure headline stories are filled with heroes, mentors, tricksters, sidekicks, scoundrels and scallywags just like those we read about in the newspaper every day. These very universal caricatures are seen in the classic stories in the Bible. Walt Disney brought these caricatures to life in such films as Snow White, Pinocchio and Cinderella. It is our intention that our readers accompany each person headlined in order to relate to each of them in a new powerful and personal way.
