Thank you so much for buying my first book, Walt & His Park! 🙏❤️🙏 If you received it and are enjoying it, could you please leave it a review on Amazon? 🤞🙏

I know so many of my regular FB readers ordered it directly from me, but since you can’t leave it a review on my site, would you help me out on Amazon? Good reviews help with sales. Thank you so much in advance for the help and thank you again for buying a copy of the book!! ❤️ Here’s the Amazon link: https://a.co/d/5P3nULA Thanks again!

05/14/2024

Thank you all so, so much for buying my first book, Walt & His Park! 🙏❤ I am very proud of it and I'm so happy that so many of you have reached out to me to tell me how much you're enjoying it!! ❤

The first batch of preordered books has been signed and dropped off at the post office!! More than 100 of the 550 are on their way, and I plan to sign about 100 each day until they're all out of my house! 😂❤🙏

I'm still getting lots of email and DMs asking me where the book is for sale. Unfortunately, it's not available in any stores, or at least I don't know that it is! 😎 The fastest way to get one is still Amazon as they can get a book to you in a day or two. You can buy a copy on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/foegZh5

If you don't like Amazon and would rather order directly from me and my website, I have books in stock and I'm more than happy to sell you one that way! You can get one at the retail price of $17.95, plus shipping, or you can get a personalized, SIGNED COPY for a few bucks more on my website here: philgramlich.com 🙏

You can also get it at Barnes and Noble, just not in the physical stores. It's available on their website at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/.../walt-and.../1145480774... 😁

Thank you again so much for all of your support and I really hope you're enjoying the book!! 🙏❤

"I'm telling ya, Walt, all your dirty laundry is out there! Right here, in his book, this Gramlich guy has you stealing oranges from the Sunkist House in Disneyland! You never did that, did you?!" 😉❤🏰🍊

05/13/2024

"And this chapter here, Kathryn, is when I told Charles Mintz where he could stick his pay cut and his Oswald the Lucky Rabbit character!!"😉😎

A little light reading...😉😁

🚨🚨 PREORDER UPDATE for Walt & His Park! 🚨🚨
Good Morning, "Preorder" People and Signed Copy of the Book People! 😁 This message is for you! I finally got an updated shipping date from my publisher of the 550+ preordered copies! 🙏
The book shipment is FINALLY set to arrive on my front doorstep on May 9th or 10th. Literally, on the day the books arrive, I will sign and ship as many as I can. My wife, kids, parents and siblings will be helping me one night, too, to get them out as soon as possible! ❤
Thank you so, so much for your patience, and for buying a signed copy before knowing if it would be any good! 😊🙏❤ It's not lost on me, again, that you are the people who have supported me the most, but you have to wait the longest for your copies of the book! I'm trying to figure out how to make that right. 🧐

If you can't wait this last week or so, I totally understand! My offer still stands for you all who have bought physical copies of the book! Just send me an email to [email protected] and please let me know what email address you used to preorder the book. I'll match that email address with all of the preorders I have on my list, and as long as your email matches, I'll send you a final, full color, PDF of the book via email. 🙂

Thank you again so much for all of your support! I absolutely can not wait for you to get your hands on it and let me know what you think!! 🙏❤🙏 Have a fantastic weekend!!

"You know, fellas, this new book about me and Disneyland sure is climbing the Amazon charts, whatever that means! Hot dog!" 😉❤🙏

04/27/2024

"Daddy, I'm telling you, it's not weird that the pages aren't actually there! You just swipe the screen with your finger!" 😉❤🏰

My first book, Walt & His Park: The Stories You (Probably) Haven't Heard, is now available on Kindle! Get yours here https://amzn.to/3vXKyO0, and thank you, thank you, thank you in advance for taking a chance on my book! I really hope you love it!! 🙏❤

It's so strange that I keep randomly finding these...😁

04/24/2024

Okay I have to go to sleep. 😁 Thank YOU so much for buying your copies of my first book! I can't thank you enough, THANK YOU!!
I am trying to thank you all individually and respond to every comment but there are just too many for me to get to all of them.

Please know that I appreciate each and every dollar you spend on something I wrote. I am incredibly grateful and I just honestly can't believe the response so far! I hope you love the book, I really, really do!! 🙏❤ Sleep well, everyone! I'll chat with you all tomorrow!

It was the spring of 1924 and twenty-three-year-old Walt Disney had his first big contract with a cartoon distributor in New York City. His little cartoon studio had moved from his Uncle Robert's garage to a rented storefront on Kingwell Avenue in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles. Walt had hired an animator and and three ink and paint girls to help (including his future wife, Lillian Bounds), but his talents as a cartoonist were holding his cartoons back, and he knew it.

He decided to write to his old friend, Ubbe Iwerks, who was still working as an artist in Kansas City, to try to convince him to join him in Los Angeles. They actually have the letters at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, and I took photos of each page because I'm crazy! 😁🤣 The following is what Walt wrote to Ubbe (who still was not going by Ub just yet)...

"Dear Friend Ubbe...

I'll say I was surprised to hear from you and also glad to hear from you. Everything is going fine with us and am glad you have made up your mind to come out. Boy you will never regret it - this is the place for you - a real country - to work and play in - no kidding - don't change your mind - remember what old Horace Greely said 'Go West Young man - Go West' -

We have just finished our sixth comedy for M.J. Winkler and are starting tomorrow on the seventh of the first series of 12. Miss Winkler is well pleased with them and has given us some high praise - she is leaving New York for here June 1st, and I believe we will be able to start a twice a month schedule instead of our monthly schedule -

I can give you a job - as artist - cartoonist and etc. with the Disney Productions. Most of the work would be cartooning. Answer at once and let me know when you want to start and I will write more details - at the present time I have one fellow helping me on the animating and three girls that do the inking, etc. while Roy (Disney, Walt's brother) handles the business end - I have a regular cash (cache?) of kids that I use in the pictures and little Virginia (Virginia Davis, star of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Series) is the star -

I was talking to Mr. Davis last nite - told him you was figuring on coming out and he wants you to drive his car out - it is a seven passenger Cadillac - he will pay all expenses on the car - such as gas, Oil, and upkeep - I think it is a dandy proposition and the best way to come out - you could have a nice trip -

Mr. Davis says it is a good car - an old model but has not been driven very far. He wants you to go over to the Much More Garage 3220 Troost (under Georgia Brown's Dramatic School) and take a look at it. Just tell them you are figuring on driving it out for him - then write and let me know what you want to do, and how soon you can come out - if you can leave before the first of the month all the better -

Of course you would sell all your furniture and also your car? Wouldn't you? - I believe it would be best if you did - any ways write and let me know all the details - give my regards to everyone at the Film Ad and to the boys at the Arabian Knights - and also to your mother - as ever your old friend,

Walt

Don't hesitate - Do it now -

-P.D.Q.- (Phil here, had to look it up...Pretty Damn Quick😁)

P.S. I wouldn't live in K.C. now if you gave me the place - yep - you bet - Hooray for Hollywood-!!"

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this one!! I just thought there was something really cool about reading that exact letter the way Walt wrote it to Ub, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thank you again so much for always reading these, and have an amazing Sunday!! 🙏❤🙏❤
