WI: Walt Disney Dies on November 22, 1963

On November 22, 1963 Walt Disney and a group of planning staff left Tampa to fly over central Florida and survey certain sites for the future Disney World complex and experience high turbulence which almost causes the plane to stall and crash. What if the same day President Kennedy is assassinated Walt Disney is also killed in a plane crash over the Gulf on his way back to New Orleans?
 
It's pretty likely that if Walt had died on this day there would be no Disney World project. The drive to continue purchasing property in Florida would have dried up and Disney would have never kept expanding theme parks. The Disney Studio would expand, but Disneyland would be the only such park made by the company.
