This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast: A fascinating true story about a true genius that will forever be intertwined as a remarkable human being in the entire world's eyes.
It's the true story of what would turn out to be Walt Disney's final passion project: A Disney-themed ski resort on top of a Southern California mountain, complete with a ski lift, sleigh rides, dogsledding, ice-skating, and tobogganing--not to mention a band of Disney Imagineer-created Audio-Animatronic bears. It sounds utterly harmless but it became totally controversial.
Local residents tried to stop it from being built out of concern for the land and the (real) animals that inhabited it. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and basically birthed the environmental movement in America. Health failing, Walt Disney soldiered on with his dream. But it was one that would never be realized--not before or after his death.
Join us as our husband-and-wife author team describe a fascinating tale that took years of research and study to write. You may purchase this book wherever books are sold and you may contact its authors at:
