Nope, he was way too old (and long dead by the time Disneyland was getting built).

My guess was going to be Thomas Watson, of IBM - but the IBM website say he was 40 in 1914, so that doesn't quite match up. (I only went to look up his name because I couldn't remember it - Sorry, Grandfather!)

(And sorry about not posting a question - I didn't realize I was supposed to and haven't been able to get on these boards much this week - besides, I can pull useless knowledge out of my head in response to questions, I have a horrid time coming up with questions based on what's stored up there!)

Yes, though he was not the founder of McDonald's. He was a franchise owner and harrassed the owners until they sold it to him.

Shortly after doing that, he sent a letter to Walt Disney recalling their time together and suggesting that a McDonald's be put in Disneyland; this was before McDonald's was much more than a SoCal chain.

He never received a response.

Just from the stinky clue, I'd have to guess Visalia, CA
