Disney was tapped to make WW2 films and shorts for the US Governement and maybe he developed a taste of planes but I still have my doubts and I am sure someone by now would have collaborated on this post with evidence.

Reason: Misspelled material taken down.
when Walt himself has problems with the rapping and pifering aspect of POTC before it ever opened.
"Yo yo yo, what up, dawgz, dis is DJ Long John Silver, direct from the Caribizzle, and we's finnin' ta get our Yo-Ho-Ho on up in dis hizzouse!"

My fondest memory of Walt Disney was the day Disneyland opened....I was standing next to him - I was 12 years old - he was looking at the gate where people were coming through, he had his hands behind his back, he had a grin from ear to ear, but you could see the lump in his throat and the tear coming down his cheek because his dream had been realized. -- Mouseketeer Sharon Baird, "Mouseke-Memories", Walt Disney Treasures: The Mickey Mouse Club
Dyslexia means the words look backwards to you. "" has one P whether it's forwards or backwards. Nice try, though.

(how's that shuckeroo?)
Oh for pete's sake. I'm not mocking HIM (and if I hurt your feelings, shucks, I apologize), I was just goofin' on his typo. Yeesh!!! Relax, folks!

To be fair, the word looking backwards thing is only one form of dyslexia, another is replacing letters or numbers with each other... I have a bit of this type myself. I often for no reason at all replace a "S" with a "6" among other things. I have to very carefully go over my posts while I type and after to try and make sure I get things right.
On the flipside of the coin, ah schucks, unless people know you personally they will make that mistake, and may be just playing good naturedly with you. No reason to take offense to it, I get it all the time just take it with a grain of salt.
As for the actul topic of this thread... oh good greif... Walt saw the skyway car idea at a world's fair, or trade show if I recall correctly and was one of the first people to use the technology in a amusement setting. I will try and dig up some actual verifiable info on it when I get a chance.
