      Walt's biggest dream was to build a community that you could live, work, and play in. He wanted a main street and a nineteenth century American town. After Walt died, Walt's brother Roy took over the company. When Roy died Michael Eisner became the Disney Company's CEO [Chief Executive Officer]. Mr. Eisner used farmland and swamp land owned by the Disney Company to build Celebration. The Disney Company used 4,900 acres of land to build Celebration. Almost every home has a porch so that its residents could sit outside and talk with neighbors. Garages have been build, but in almost every case, they are behind the homes with an entrance through a smaller alley-like street instead of through paved driveways. This was done sthe fronts of houses would not look ugly. What Walt Disney wanted was a town that looked somewhat like his hometown. This dream town is standing here today.
