DisneyHistory: What's Walt Pointing At in the Partners Statue?...

What Walt Is Really Pointing At
I contacted the author of the mystery thriller entitled Key to the Kingdom who wove trivia, details, and clues into a wild mystery set in and around Walt Disney World. Right after the book came out the whole question of "what is Walt really pointing at?" resurfaced again (as it does from time to time)
Jeff Dixon is the author of the mystery and he has included some references to this in his work of fiction, according to his research he agrees with much of the information shared in this post, he reminded me that so much of the fun you can have in a Disney theme park can be found in taking a close look at the details and design. The Partners statue is one of those creative details to enjoy....
But I will admit, reading the mystery novel Dixon wrote made it a lot more fun to ask the question, "What is Walt really pointing at?"

Our keys to the kingdoms tour guide told us the same thing about Minnie and Roy's support of Mickey and Walt.
On another note, there is a hidden Mickey on that statue. Look for it the next time you're there. It was hard to see even when it was pointed out to us!

I thought that too, as this is where Walt was always heading, striding towards even.
Everyone knows he was pointing toward the direction of where the 5th Gate was going.

I thought he was pointing at the monorail and saying how he didn't want it open any longer than one hour after park closing.

I thought he was pointing an accusatory finger at Meg.....:shrug:

There was a (ridiculous) rumor going around that he was extending his arm to perform the Hitler salute. It was supposed to be a hidden message or something of the like. Not buying into that one.
It is probably a metaphor of the future, as if he has an idea and is laying it out, etc. Nobody really knows. But his whole composure in the stature has the whole "if we can dream it, then we can do it" feel to it.

that is so cynical.. could it be that Walt is pointing to where he came from,since he is pointing back down Main St. USA.. as if to say " see how far we came?"
