It has always been important to me that I call it Walt Disney World.  It became a pet peeve of mine when I would see blogs and social media posts referring to it as 'Disney World' - I always want to comment "don't forget WALT"!  When I saw some top Disney executives call it 'Disney World' I started to doubt myself, is it really supposed to be Walt?  Who could I ask to clear this up for me?  The best person I knew to talk about the history of Walt would be Jeff Barnes! Jeff Barnes is is the best-selling author of The Wisdom of Walt: Leadership Lessons from the Happiest Place on Earth and Beyond the Wisdom of Walt: Life Lessons from the Most Magical Place on Earth.
