Hi all :wave:
WOW have I got a good one for you!
In context today, my Spanish professor said that there has been a rumor for many years that Walt Disney was born in Spain as Jose Luis Girao and that he and his parents fled to the US when he was a young child.
His parents soon passed away and he was adopted by the Disney's and they changed his name.
He also said that there is no Spanish birth certificate for Disney because it was destroyed in a war.
I'll say...I've heard many a rumor about WDI, WDW and Disney himself, but never have I heard this before!!
What are your thoughts on this? True? Not true?
Does anyone have any solid info on this?
I did do a web search and there is some mention of this.
***Please do not attack me saying it's false like someone who I told today did to me...I'm not saying it's true or false...I don't know the answer!
