Quotes that are often misattributed to Walt Disney

  • โ€œLaughter is timeless, imagination has no age, dreams are forever.โ€

We were unable to find the source of this quote.

  • โ€œYou canโ€™t just letย natureย run wild.โ€

Often attributed to Walt Disney but the source suggests that this is from Walter Joseph Hickel, in particular, from his book โ€˜Living with Wolvesโ€™

  • โ€œIf you can dream it, you can do it.โ€

These words were spoken by Tom Fitzgerald, A Disney Imagineer, who wrote it for the Horizons attraction at Epcot. It appears that it was wrongly attributed to Walt Disney in the โ€˜Science of Imagineeringโ€™ film which may explain why it is often misattributed to Disney.
