Walt Disney was the Head of Pageantry for the 1960 winter Olympics.

Mary Poppins, released in 1964, was the most successful Disney film of the 1960s.

In late 1965, Disney announced plans to develop another theme park to be called Disney World .

Disney World was to include "the Magic Kingdom”, a larger, more elaborate version of Disneyland.

LEGACY  On December 15, 1966, at 9:30 a.m., Disney died of acute

circulatory collapse, caused by lung cancer.After Walt Disney's death, Roy Disney took full control of

Walt Disney Productions and WED Enterprises.Walt Disney's animation/motion picture studios and theme

parks have developed into a multi-billion dollar company.Among other assets The Walt Disney Company owns five

vacation resorts, eleven theme parks, two water parks, thirty-nine hotels, eight motion picture studios, six record labels, eleven cable television networks, and one terrestrial television network.
