I couldn’t agree with you more about Walt Disney World being directly and clearly tied to its mission and values by their slogan, “Where dreams come true.” Walt Disney World is an excellent example of how the perception of the organization is tied to its mission and values. Also, I completely agree that the target audience of Walt Disney is all ages as well. It doesn't matter how old you are, Walt Disney…
