Hi, I’m Lani, I’m writing this in my journal to explain what it’s like working for Walt Disney during World War II. In the morning I get up and get dressed, I like to think of ideas that our studio could use to help the U.S. Army, and the Navy. After I get ready I go and get some breakfast, I can’t eat a lot due to my small amounts of food I have, all the shops are closed due to the war.
