Walt Disney Passport. Disney autographs are rare and hugely desirable, and this one comes in truly amazing form. This United States passport is dated August 19, 1965, and was issued to the legendary animator shortly after the giant success of Mary Poppins (1964) and 16 months before his death (December 15, 1966). Disney signed the passport twice in blue ink (as "Walter E. Disney"), including once along the edge of his smiling photo. It bears only one set of visa stamps, for a trip to and from London. Following Walt's death, Roy O. Disney, completing his brother's ambitious theme park in Orlando, insisted that the name become Walt Disney World -- a worthy tribute. Perhaps no other show business figure gave so much joy to so many people -- hence Disney's enormous popularity with autograph collectors -- and this passport, with two ultra-rare signatures, accompanying photo and visa stamps, provides one of the most desirable Walt Disney artifacts Heritage has ever offered. In Excellent condition with only very minor wear.Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.
