A little bit of Walt

“There are fashions in reading, even in thinking. You don’t have to follow them unless you want to. On the other hand, watch out! Don’t stick too closely to your favorite subject. That would keep you from adventuring into other fields. It’s silly to build a wall around your interests.” - Walt Disney





Coming next week: What is Disney’s free dining offer and should I book it?
