DS, signed “Walter E. Disney,” one page, 8.5 x 11, November 30, 1960. Document for a meeting of the board of directors of WED Enterprises, waiving "notice of the special meeting of the Board of Directors of said corporation held on the 30th day of November, 1960." Signed at the conclusion by Walt Disney, William H. D. Cottrell, Royal Clark, Richard F. Irvine, Diane D. Miller, and Sharon Mae Disney. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing to the right edge, and some small divots to the left blank area.
Walt Disney formed Walt Disney, Inc. on December 16, 1952, in order to fund and oversee the development of Disneyland; in 1953, he changed the firm's name to WED Enterprises, using his initials rather than his full name to avoid confusion with his film production company. He provided the startup money for the park from his own personal fortune, funneled through WED Enterprises. Since it was a separate entity from the Walt Disney Company, the development of the park could be conducted in secret and without disclosure to shareholders. A fantastic document signed by Disney and key Disneyland executives.
