Hey, I thought this fact list was quite interesting. Growing up as a child, Disney Land was magical, fun, and care free. As I got older, I started to learn the politics/business behind the corporation DISNEY. Lets just say, I am a media student at The University of Western Ontario and over the past two years I have the other side…Anyways, I think the fact that they made phony businesses to secure land is kind of comical, brilliant, and just kind of wack. People spend a lot of money on Disney..it has helped raise children for yeeaarsss..It is kind of erie to think how crazy successful they have been financially.
