We live just a two hour drive from
Marceline--the town where Walt Disney lived for five years. The main street there inspired his Main Street USA at Disneyland. They've rebuilt the family barn, the place where he claims he received his inspiration for his animal characters and grew a love for animals. They've turned the train depot into a Walt Disney museum. On the way there, we listened to a podcast about Marceline so it was fun to see all the places we had heard about on the podcast.

| The top floor of the museum had some interactive stations where the kids could dress up and play school |
 |
| Here's one of the autopia cars. Disney shipped the ride to Marceline, but it was shut down several years later. |
 |
| These miniature models of Disneyland sure made us want to go to there! |
 |
| Wouldn't you love to attend Walt Disney Elementary?! The teacher in me thought, "I'd never have to worry about breaking copyright rules for Disney decorations in my classroom!" |
Walt hired his artists to paint these murals throughout the school.
 |
| This is where they display the wooden school desk Walt Disney carved his initials in when he was a school boy. |
 |
| The gym and cafeteria murals |
 |
| The Uptown theater on Main Street has a Disney character in the ticket booth |
 |
| Can you see the clocks and street lamps that inspired Disney's Main Street? |
