- Mike said: “To me, there are two things that speak volumes about Walt Disney. The first is how much he loved his family. Disneyland came into being because of his desire to spend time with his daughters and being able to enjoy the rides with them. The second thing I really like about Walt is his faith. There is an essay he wrote called “Prayer in my life.” I encourage you all to read it: http://www.thisdayindisneyhistory.com/PrayerInMyLife.html
