On this day: Roy O. Disney was Born

Tuesday, 24th June 2014 by

On June 24, 1893, Roy O. Disney was born. While Walt Disney was the creative partner, Roy looked after the business side of things, helping grow the company into the giant entertainment industry that it is today. After Walt's death in 1966, Roy put his planned retirement on hold to oversee the construction of Walt Disney World in Florida, where he is commemorated with a statue of him sitting on a bench with Minnie Mouse.
