Disney Darlings

How could I make a list of lists without including all the actors, producers, directors, artists, and Imagineers behind the Wonderful World of Disney? As an American whose been to Disneyland probably at least ten times in life, I can tell you my favorite attraction in the park is Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln, even though I dislike him as a president! Disney makes dreams come true every day, and when you wish upon a star, anything is possible. Here are the people who were made, or broken, by Disney.
