Bob Iger

But he had unbelievable guts.

Actually, more than guts, it was courage.

He had a vision.

He was almost always convinced that his vision was right.

And he had the confidence to attempt, really, to execute it.

And that's both confidence in the ability to basically build successfully, but also the ability to look

really above and beyond the naysayers and those that said it can't be done.

If you said something couldn't be done, Walt set about to do it.

It was that simple.

And so I watched this ambition actually almost jump out of the screen.

And I remember it as a kid.

And you couldn't help but want to go there.

Because again, it was so new.

It seemed so big, so fresh, so just almost extraordinary.

And actually, it's interesting.

I was thinking back, bringing Disneyland to Shanghai.

So here we were in the earlier part of really this century, wanting to plant a Disneyland flag of sorts in China and thinking about not just what we would build, but whether it would become the beacon to people all around China that Disneyland was to Americans in the 50s.

And it's interesting that actually has happened.

that a lot of people in China are well aware of Disneyland.

It serves as the number one tourist attraction in Shanghai.
