WED Enterprises Disney Private Holding Company

How Walt Disney Used WED Enterprises, Inc. as a Private Family Holding Company

Case Studies & ProfilesBy Joshua KennonJune 20, 201318 Comments

After our discussion of The Walt Disney IPO earlier today, which was born out of Walt and his family consolidating three of the companies they owned underneath a single umbrella and issuing shares to the public to help finance the ever-expanding empire, including the creation of the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, I thought it…

Walt Disney IPO Case Study – A Look at 56 Years of Investment Returns

Case Studies & ProfilesBy Joshua KennonJune 20, 20133 Comments

With the talk of investing in Walt Disney shares as part of my souvenir program during my weekend trip to Disneyland in California, I thought it would be fun to go back and do a case study of the Walt Disney IPO.  I originally got the idea the last time we were in Walt Disney…

We’re Back in Missouri After a Weekend in Orange County

My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 18, 20131 Comment

It is now Tuesday.  We flew home yesterday and let me say the John Wayne Airport in Orange County is beautiful and well-run.  The plane flew out over the Pacific Ocean and then banked back, parallel to the coast line, so we got the most amazing view. And I’m not sure what happened while we…

Our Last Day in Disneyland Before Heading Home on Monday

My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 16, 20132 Comments

After breakfast at Steakhouse 55, we jumped on the monorail and went to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy our last day in the park.  We flew out here on Friday and it’s now Sunday, so we will have to go back tomorrow.               While Aaron was still getting the…

Breakfast at Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel

Food and Beverages, My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 16, 20134 Comments

We all met for breakfast at Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel this morning.  We were both starving because we hadn’t eaten in 24 hours – there was so much food at Club 33, neither of us were in the mood for anything else and couldn’t bring myself to even have a snack by midnight.  This…

Disney’s California Adventure and The World of Color

My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 15, 20135 Comments

If you can’t tell from the recent posts, I’m still out here in Southern California, where I flew out to spend the weekend with my college friends and continue our tradition of trips to the Disney parks.  We passed Oswald the Lucky Rabbit’s store, which I told you I think is one of the most…

The Life and Business Lessons of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Case Studies & Profiles, My Day In Pictures, PhilosophyBy Joshua KennonJune 15, 20132 Comments

After lunch at Club 33 and a ride through the Haunted Mansion, we all decided to head over to Disney’s adjacent theme park, California Adventure. The moment we walked through the entrance I was greeted by one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.  If you don’t know what you are seeing, you aren’t alone.…

Lunch at Club 33 in Disneyland

Food and Beverages, My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 15, 20137 Comments

Today is our lunch at Club 33 in Disneyland.  I am excited about dining in what is unquestionably one of the most famous restaurants and dining rooms in the world but first, you need the backstory. Ten years ago, during college, Aaron, Ashly, and I, three friends who were in the same classical music studio…

We Flew Out to Disneyland in California for the Weekend to Meet Up with Friends

My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 14, 201310 Comments

A few minutes after midnight, my entire family and their respective spouses, minus one of my sisters, met at a local movie theater to see the premier of Man of Steel, the new Superman movie.  When it was over, we went home to take a shower, change into something comfortable for travel, and head to the…

Grilled Kabobs, Running Shoes, Mandevilla, and United Technology Dividends

My Day In PicturesBy Joshua KennonJune 13, 201312 Comments

The first dividend from United Technologies came in today.  Actually, it was deposited two days ago, but I forgot to note it when I checked the accounts.  I told you when I added the position to the KRIP portfolio, and then later answered questions about the valuation of the stock.  It is such a small…
