My dad, Elias Disney, he owned a
newspaper delivery route there.
Thousand papers. Twice daily.
Morning and evening edition. Elias,
he was a tough businessman. A save-
a-penny anywhere you can type of
fella so he wouldn't employ any
delivery boys, he just used me and
my big brother Roy. I was eight
then-- eight years old.
And the cold and the wet would be
seeping through the shoes and the
skin would be raw and peeling from
our faces-- and sometimes I'd find
myself sunk down in the snow,
waking up, cuz I must've passed out
for a moment-- I dunno. Then
school, too cold to figure out an
equation. And back into the snow so
by the time we got home it'd be
just getting dark, and every part
of you would sting like crazy as it
slowly came back to life in the
warmth. My mother would feed us
dinner and then it'd be time to go
out again for the evening edition.
Mic drop!
Disneyland has been around for over 60 years. WDW is coming up on 50. Families have made do without these huge strollers & wagons & kids have walked the parks for decades. Many of us would be thrilled for Disney to start taking some control of their parks back.
