Walt Disney’s Hometown Marceline Missouri Tour - Original Main Street USA / Museum & Walt’s Barn

Walt Disney Hometown Tour

[@loriwinters414]

It makes me so emotional to see Walt’s roots, and the goodness he created with Disney, to now see it all changing into something twisted, something so far from the wholesomeness he meant for it to be. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the same at Disneyland anymore. I wish the people running Disney now were more good and wholesome like he was, and would choose to stay true to his original idea, but the world is changing. And not in a good direction 😢

[@ronaldhall2489]

The same way God made such a beautiful perfect world and humanity fucked it up. We have not changed in that way

My favorite part of the Museum was listening to the interview Walt gave to his parents on their 50th Anniversary. Marceline is a wonderful town.

[@teampoe8214]

My grandma was raised in the Kansas City area, but growing up would spend her summers in Marceline with her grandparents. She’s always felt a strong connection to Disney because of her time in Marceline. Such a neat place full of history!

[@mikeday8470]

ABSOLUTEY love this episode. My wife and kids took me to Marceline for Father's day about a decade ago. We had such a blast and fell in love with the museum. Love your affection for Disney and the happiness it brings. I feel the same way. Also love the story about giving good entertainment for your dollar. Man I love this so much.

[@mariagal926]

Perfect timing on Disneyland's anniversary. My grandpa was there on opening day. 🏰 Love this. Thank you for sharing with us.

Glad you enjoyed it

My favorite part, Adam is told no filming allowed in the museum. So he goes on to take pictures inside the museum, and he films the pictures he took on his phone. 😂 I love it! Thanks, Adam

[@jonathanchilders7335]

Adam, thanks for showing us Marceline again! We were so excited when we finally visited this past May and crossed it off our "Disney Bucket List." It was great to see the Barn and sign our names (Looked for yours, but forgot where it was...there are so many), as well as seeing the town and the wonderful museum! Also, the story of Walt and his "circus" and people getting what they paid for...really needs to be heeded by the higher ups currently in Disney Parks.

[@richardchamp7307]

Adam thanks for he tour of Marceline. Such a historic place. Great job Enjoyed it very much. 😊

[@XtrevolutionXX]

I love small quiet towns

[@ronaldstarrett1957]

Love seeing the childhood home of Walt and Roy. They were awesome visionaries and creators of entertainment and family vacation spots. So sad for what it has all become.

[@blindguytries4902]

as somebody that grew up in Marceline, I love when you go back and show all the history with Disney there it’s a beautiful little town full of people that will do anything to help each other for the most part most of my family is moved away, but I will always be home to me unfortunately from what I’ve seen though quite a few people have left due to lack of job opportunities and that is sad to see but they are attempting to modernize it which is great I encourage everybody to visit and support the businesses in town whenever possible :-)

[@tammydaniels170]

Very much enjoy when your passion for your work shines through Adam, thanks for taking us along 💜

[@MyBackyardScience]

Love the revisit to Marceline! So awesome that you could go back and see the signature you left "for posterity" in the barn!

[@spatrickf]

Outside of the museum, a clock was added last month mirroring those found in the parks (the only one outside of a Disney Park). Its dedication ceremony was part of the D23 event.

At the young age of 77, nice to know that Hayley Mills is still with us. Growing up, fell in puppy love for Ms. Mills and Ms. Funicello.

Great video as always Adam. As much as you love trains I’m surprised you haven’t done any multi city train trips. You’d get to see parts of America you can’t see from your car!

[@jasonfields2798]

tell ya what man that Main Street or Main Street USA with that cloudy rainy skies hit me in the soft spot of my heart because I reminded me of all of my local small towns when I was growing up love these little small towns videos

[@joncrowley8227]

I wrote and directed a documentary about Walt for NBC News back in 1999 and a highlight of that production was visiting Marceline and filming in all the same spots that you visited yesterday. Kay M. and her husband were gracious hosts and allowed me to sit in Walt's former bedroom (we even had a big fish fry at the end of the day). It was a great trip with lots of memories of very friendly Marceline residents. Loved this installment of your travels, Adam!

[@robertrowland5813]

Thanks to Adam, Justin and other You-tubers, I have visited Marceline many, many times, but NEVER in person. This was a very unique look at the town. Thank you for the informative and entertaining video, Adam.

[@PickledPretzels]

This was a fantastic video, Adam. Very insightful and chock full and things i never knew. You did your homework on this one. One of your best vlogs IMO!

[@melissarose6012]

HEY ATW...THANKS FOR THIS EPISODE. I REMEMBER WATCHING you sign those rafters and to go back and see where you autographed the planks was so moving to me. I can't explain why, it was a deja Vu vibe like I've never felt before. Man, you're not just getting older, you're getting better! Thanks again.

That is awesome that you visited Walt's hometown! I visited for my first time a year ago and filmed a video. Some locals seen I was documenting and asked if I wanted to go inside the Uptown Theater. It was so cool! I got some video footage & some photos...theu were even telling me that they rent the upstairs as an Airbnb! Thanks for sharing Adam! This brought back memories!

[@RandomlyRandy58]

These places have definitely been added on the good ole todo list. We signed one of the benches at D23 last year. Now it’s gonna be a mission of mine to find it!

You gotta go it’s a great town

AT A whopping 47:34..i'd say yes to watching where you were going, and reading before you wander off to quickly, take your time enjoy it immerse yourself in the moment while documenting something so beloved, this was a very in depth visit for sure.

[@spatrickf]

Inside the school is quite charming, with several pieces of art donated by the Disney studio in both the entry hall & gym. There are also several photos & a case where Walt's tiny schoolboy desk can be found when it's not in the museum.

[@fdholley]

Simply incredible

[@Sassyellechica]

Awesome place ❤ looks like a lovely small town. You go to the coolest places. His hometown reminds me of some towns out in New Jersey

[@ericbrown233]

With Disney currently hemorrhaging money like it is, I don't think they'll be investing any into Marceline in the near future, unfortunately. It would be pretty cool to have another Disney park closer to the middle of the country. Thanks for showing us around.

I wish ol Walt could come back and take over the Disney empire once more….. the train needs put back on its rails.

Thanks Adam 👏🏼 this was a wonderful visit. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹

[@JoshSchlottman]

Fun facts I found when I visited Marceline: The lady who runs the museum Kaye lives in the Disney family home. Her father Rush Johnson knew Walt and Walt asked him to buy the land around the home for The Marceline Project (he knew they'd jack up the price if they knew it was him). RETLAW owned it next, but after Walt passed, it was sold off but Roy first sold the home property back to Rush. You can stay in the rooms above the Uptown Theater too. A lot of Imagineers stay there and have signed the walls. But I didn't get much sleep the train passes through town the entire night haha. Kaye said she offered the owners of the KC Laugh-O-Gram studies to move the building to Marceline since it's just falling apart. It's the building that matters most, not so much the location. Walt's daughter Diane gave money to the Laugh-O-Gram studios renovation years ago but looks like not much has happened haha. I believe the original pool Walt donated is gone but the new pool is state-of-the-art

It would be great if Disney had store on Main Street that looked like a park store and sold the same merchandise. Tribute to the Disney brothers.

[@thedisneycollecter1967]

As part of the d23 event that happened last month they dedicated a replica of the Disney world Main Street clock to the museum.

Yup. It was cool. Did you get to go?

[@jacobkrug]

love your awesome videos

[@DASPassDad]

I don't think I posted my previous comment by accident. Just so you know, we ARE working to reopen the Uptown. Pandemic shutdowns and supply chain issues during and after set us back. I did the National Register of Historic Places nomination, and I'm happy to say that on 3 July 2023 it was officially listed in the Register. It is the first building in Marceline listed on the Register! That opens us up to potentially millions in grant monies. We are currently doing fundraising on our website, too. We do a Register dedication for the theater in September. If you're even in town again when I am (I live in Muncie, IN), I'd love to show you the other historic places in town!

[@samilt13]

I can hear the enthusiasm in your voice. You were so excited to be there.

[@commanderstarstrider7176]

Im moving to Missouri soon and definately going to visit this place. I signed one of those benches at D23 too.

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

The Autopia cars are in the yellow shed. Two were in use during the D23 event in June. The license plate for the one I drove was 'Walt.'

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

The large book in the white little building with green trim I believe is a Webster Dictionary! The Google of it's day! I know, because we had one in a place of honor in our foyer when I was a kid. (My dad got paid with it, when he was a kid for a week's worth of work. He was mad, but he took the book (he secretly was delighted) It stood proudly as my dad's first earnings ever in his life. Having that was the first experience of having knowledge at your fingertips. Great vid.
