Quotes about Roy O. Disney

2 Sourced Quotes

I was always so proud of my dad [Roy O. Disney]. Walt wanted to build this futuristic city called Epcot where people were going to live. My dad didn't know how that made us any money. He argued with Walt that we needed to build a Magic Kingdom and some hotels first to get money to afford to build Walt's Epcot.

Walt kept insisting that Epcot needed to be built first or it would never get built. Walt died while they were having those arguments. So Dad [Roy O. Disney] won by default and he regretted winning that way. Walt probably would have been surprised to see what it all is today. Epcot, of course, was supposed to be a real town where people would live and the final thing was much different.
