| Re: Here's a list of the "Disney Legends" I was thinking the same thing when I was typing it up Paul. But, I would assume that Walt and Roy are not going to be on the list because "Legend" is too small of a term to encompass those two. Walt was just a tad bit higher than Roy because he was the dreamer and the 'face' of the company. Roy was just as important though...the numbers/business guy. But I don't know that they should be on this list because they are the ones that started and ran the entire operation.

| Re: Here's a list of the "Disney Legends" Greg recently posted a list of Disney Legends, but I had already included it here. Just "bumping" this for those that haven't seen it.
