Visiting Walt Disney's Grave

Today in Randomland we have a change of pace as we pay our respects to the man, the myth, and the legend that was Walt Disney. In November of 1966, Walt wasn't feeling like himself, and checked into St. Joseph's Hospital across the street from the studio, only to end up having a lung removed, and only a few weeks later, passing away.

All my life I've been a huge fan of Walt Disney, and while he wasn't a saint by any stretch of the imagination, when the facts are laid out, he wasn't a villain either. There were many Walt Disneys, depending on who you ask, and whether one chooses to see the myths, the legends, or the man, he certainly remains the embodiment of a rags-to-riches American Dream story, and inarguably brought a smile to the faces of millions if not billions of people for generations past and generations to come.
So come along as we visit and pay our respects to the humble, final resting place of one of America's greatest visionaries, Walter Elias Disney.
For those wishing to learn more about the man behind the legends, I highly recommend Neal Gabler's book here: www.amazon.com/Walt-Disney-Tri...

As a kid my parents and I would drive up to forest lawn to visit my grandparents gravesite which is in the flat area in front of the George Washington statue and my dad would tell me Walt Disney's grave was nearby. My father was a man full of random facts and had a way of telling stories that sparked your imagination much like Walt. When he passed away 8 years ago we held his memorial at the little church of the flowers :)

I was in kindergarten when Walt Disney died, and I remember it well. I had never been to Disneyland having grown up in N. California, until later in 1968. I am now a S. Californian with an annual pass. Very nice video! You have answered questions about his death that I always wondered about. I now have my closure.

[@anthonygiordano3991]

Justin.. your level of respect and tone in this video is impeccable, especially with someone at your age. I'm proud of your example here. I've been watching your videos and I must say I'm delightfully entertained by the Disney history coupled with your wacky craziness... but through all that craziness, I can tell that your actually a very mature and respectful young man and it shows by your change of demeanor here. I'm definitely subscribing. Keep up the good work and videos! You gonna be there on July 17th? I will be too.. (Hopefully I won't have to sleep in the parking lot again)! Maybe I'll see you there! Take care and God bless. -Anthony

been watching your vids for an hour now... but this one got to me. very nice tribute. thank you.

[@heatherforrest3862]

My grandmother Barbara Lewis Lombardo, great grandmother Ruth Ann Lewis & great grandfather Homer Newton Lewis are all buried at Forest Lawn Glendale. It's a very beautiful cemetery, with fascinating statues, landscapes & churches. I almost feel as though I'm visiting The Huntington Library when I'm there. I must admit I went to visit Michael Jackson's grave back in 2009, people left so many trinkets, flowers, letters, drawings & pictures... it was qutie a site to behold. Thank you for another great video Justin:)

[@MsRandomnotes1]

Jane Darwell (The Old lady in "Mary Poppins" who feeds the birds) is also buried at Forest Lawn,as well as L.Frank Baum, the author of "The Wizard Of Oz"...

[@DementedCaver]

I'm very glad you made this video and kept it respectful too ..... probably the favorite one of yours that I've seen so far.

[@stevehoag232]

Well done, great historical details and storytelling. My wife's grandfather is buried at that cemetery. Thanks Justin LiveFastDiePoor for another superb video!

Rest in peace, Disney. You've inspired me so much, and you make me happy still to this day. Without you, cartoons and animation will not be the same or probably not even exist the way they do now. Rest in peace! ♥

[@jimm3370]

I have to second jerry cook's comment; what a tasteful tribute and excellent narrative. Thank you for this. Mr. Disney was a hero of mine too- the works he produced and the life he lived inspires me to this day. I love your last comment about building on the best of his legacy with an optimistic look towards tomorrow. Bravo!

Great video as always Justin, this is also good to dispel the myth that Walt was frozen cryogenically, Walt's wife Lillian was born and grew up in a little town a couple hours south of where I live. So it's interesting to see she wasn't buried there but in Forest Lawn Glendale

I do believe as he mentioned, they wanted a quiet memorial/funeral for him. They didn't want to honor the company known as Disney, they wanted to honor the person that was of the same name.
