I've always enjoyed the Disney theme
0:17
parks whether it be Florida Walt Disney
0:19
World or Anaheim California
0:22
Disneyland and as I got a little older I
0:25
started to really research and
0:27
understand and embrace the history of
0:29
the man who started all that Walt Disney
0:32
been to Marceline Missouri I've been to
0:34
Kansas City Missouri I've been to
0:36
Chicago Illinois all places of his
0:40
upbringing and what eventually became
0:42
the Walt Disney Company and Corporation
0:45
but there has been one place that has
0:46
eluded me and I have put off until now

the fire station at Disneyland of course
2:06
in the park they leave the light on
2:09
there's the lamp in this photo and check
2:11
out the carpet it's the same carpet that
2:14
they have here same design and
2:16
everything on the right are a bunch of
2:18
Academy Awards that he won over the
2:21
course of his
2:23
career that's a heck of a lot everyone
2:26
has a beginning a starting point these
2:28
photographs of his family members check
2:32
out this one I hear on the wall that's
2:35

High School located bottom row second
3:15
from the left
3:17
right there not only are there plenty of
3:21
photographs that you can look at but
3:23
also some interactive
3:30
displays that give you the progress of
3:30
his life they just move right along so
3:33
you can kind of learn just by watching
3:35
these and get a foothold on the history
3:38
of
3:39
sorts that's him delivering
3:43
papers notice this cartoon that he
3:46
pinned on the side of his ambulance that
3:48
he drove at a very young age in France
3:52
for the Red Cross this is not the actual
3:54
one but it is one that looks similar
3:57
just to give you the feel of what he
3:59
drove
4:00
always being creative even in the
4:02
barracks during downtime still had his
4:05
pen handy the rest of his life he held
4:08
on to the pens and coins that he
4:09
collected from that time period back
4:11
when he was 17 years old stored them in
4:15
this very bag also while he was in
4:18
France he continued to send drawings
4:20
back to his high school paper some of
4:22
them can be seen here on this wall
4:25
here's one opened up dated 1918 the far
4:28
left Page
4:30
are his
4:47
cartoons progressing now to Kansas City
4:47
stating I got people interested in it we
4:49
formed a little Corporation known as
4:52
laagam the building does still stand in
4:55
Missouri even though it's a shell of
4:57
what it once was office was located on
5:00
the top floor all the way at the far
5:03
right you can peek in the window by
5:06
looking at this
5:07
particular
5:09
photograph here I bought myself a camera
5:13
and called it the
5:16
universal and they have one on side as
5:18
well right
5:24
there there's the business
5:24
card 1127 East 31st Street
5:30
Kansas City by the summer of 1923 it was
5:33
clearly too late to save the company and
5:36
they declared
5:37
bankruptcy and here is a printout of the
5:42
bankruptcy papers
6:01
it was a big day the day I had on that
6:01
California Li he arrived in Hollywood in
6:03
1923 with only $40 in his pocket
6:07
creating his first successful film
6:09
series the Alice comedies all shot on a
6:12
bell and Howard camera very similar to
6:15
this exact one 348 frames were needed to
6:20
complete 15 seconds of motion for steam
6:23
booat Willie after the Alice series he
6:26
created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit who he
6:28
eventually lost Lo the rights to which
6:31
led to the birth of Mickey Mouse check
6:34
out that quote you can see he wasn't too
6:36
discouraged by the loss of Oswald he's
6:40
ready to move on hard to believe this
6:42
little mouse is now over 90 years old
6:46
1925 he married Lillian and here's the
6:49
certificate and that is the cute couple
6:52
right up there and also that same year
6:55
his brother Roy married Edna 1925 was a
6:59
good year for both of them a lot of
7:01
vintage Mickey toys here in this case
7:03
some antiques on site oh dang I want a
7:06
pair of these boots right here check out
7:08
these boots in this magazine or this
7:10
tricycle now that is freaking cool these
7:13
windup metal toys yeah any of these
7:15
things I would gladly gladly own made in
7:18
Switzerland from wood and metal those
7:21
right there are are the skis he used
7:25
still in the snow with Lillian doing a
7:27
little ice skating at yosity National na
7:29
Park quite an assortment of things over
7:31
the years Walt Disney comics in the 40s
7:33
and in the 30s Mickey Mouse magazine
7:36
there on the the bottom shelf we'll get
7:38
a lot further if we all pull together
7:41
notice Mickey's the only one not holding
7:43
an an ore even though he was successful
7:46
to this point everything went to the
7:48
next level with the creation of Snow
7:50
White and the Seven Dwarfs when people
7:53
said an hour and a half through an
7:54
animated
7:56
film they did they certainly did by this
7:59
point he had come a long way when he
8:02
first came to
8:03
Hollywood working back in that shed
8:06
behind Uncle Robert's house and with
8:09
that success he was able to afford the
8:12
building of a new studio in Burbank
8:15
General overview of the property can be
8:17
seen in this pullout annual report
8:21
1946 very content to be sitting behind
8:24
that desk and everything continued on
8:26
Bambi and Pinocchio followed suit
8:35
pinio I'm so happy from this level you
8:35
can look down upon the multiplane camera
8:38
that was used many many times through
8:41
Productions the way it works is the
8:42
camera is mounted on top pointing
8:44
downward so it gives a 3d effect as it
8:46
shoots through a few different layers of
8:50
Animation as explained here so you have
8:53
multiple
8:54
different items that it shoots from so
8:56
starting at the top directly towards the
8:59
the
9:00
bottom you have that effect now I am
9:02
moving at a very slow pace but this
9:04
place is Big make sure you a lot quite a
9:06
bit of time if you come here because
9:08
there's different levels and lots of
9:11
different exhibits to read up and learn
9:13
about to be honest stepping into each
9:15
and every room is an experience all its
9:17
own among favorite foods Jello-O and of
9:20
course chili I have to agree with both
9:22
of these they're they're both pretty
9:24
tasty treats next to that signed piece
9:26
of paper is this 16 mm camera and to the
9:29
right are some of the reels from it
9:32
monogram bowling bag you see the name
9:35
right there on the side through this
9:37
area continuing to walk you can look out
9:39
these windows and get a really good view
9:43
off in the distance of the Golden Gate
9:45
Bridge check that out and one of the few
9:47
remaining benches from Griffith Park
9:49
where he would sit and watch his
9:50
daughters play on the
9:51
Carousel and gave him the idea to create
9:55
Disneyland I'm sitting where Walt might
9:58
have sat he may have sat here he might
10:00
have been a few few feet over that way
10:02
but nonetheless this is a major piece of
10:05
Disney history to say the least oh my
10:08
goodness I'm must continue the rest of
10:09
this from outside even though I finished
10:12
the tour walk through the entire Museum
10:15
was in there about another hour or so
10:18
reading all the information placards
10:20
soaking it in and really enjoying the
10:23
full
10:24
experience about 3/4 of the way through
10:26
I was told that they do not allow
10:28
vlogging no vloggers are allowed to pull
10:31
their camera out and document what's in
10:33
here my response was well I saw quite a
10:35
few other people on the internet who
10:37
have done so and they said they realize
10:39
that but that is technically not not
10:42
allowed and the rule so I'm going to
10:45
abide by what they said and and not film
10:48
anymore so if you're ever in the San
10:50
Francisco area definitely check this out
10:53
this was amazing for me this was a
10:55
bucket list of sorts me being a huge not
10:58
only Walt Disney park fan but also the
11:01
