HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. DISNEY!!!
You know, I would have been born on the day he died

I was born December 16 at 12:22 a.m. Walt passed on the 15th so if I was born 23 mins earlier I would have been born on the day he died.

It's the branding logo for Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs, CA. Walt bought a house in that super-exclusive resort community, and loved it, during the production of
Snow White so he and the family could get out of L.A. now and again. Then he sold it when he raised the $20 million he needed for Disneyland, then bought a second home there in 1957 (this photo is probably from that time or later, judging by Walt's features).
Walt loved the community. Very deliberately old-time Western style. You cn actually stay there I believe, they have a Ranch House that is like a very small, very expensive hotel.
