In 1923 Disney teamed up with his brother Roy and continued to produce cartoons. His first successful cartoon was called Steamboat Willie, starring Mortimer Mouse, which we now know better as Mickey Mouse. The name change was Walt’s wife’s idea. She thought Mickey sounded better.

Walt Disney’s Corporation has expanded in many ways. Touchtone Films, a branch of Walt Disney Productions was formed, and Hollywood Records was formed as well. Within the next twenty years, people would be given the opportunity to take a trip on the Disney Cruise Lines, which is now one of the largest cruise lines in America. The Disney Enterprise has become a multi-billion dollar industry.

Disney parks continue to expand as time goes on. Since the park in Orlando opened, EPCOT Center, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and a sports complex has all been added to Disney World.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson presented Disney with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in the same year Disney received the Freedom Foundation Award. In 1971, Disney opened Disney World in Orlando, Florida
