The Real Main Street USA - Marceline, MO - Walt Disney's Home town - Randomland !
Marceline, Missouri. The boyhood hometown of Walt Disney! Home to the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, and the actual street that inspired the original "Main Street USA" in Disneyland. This is it! The REAL Main Street may have technically been named "Kansas Avenue" when Walt was living in the town limits, but today it's known as the real "Main Street USA" all across the world!
Of course, Disneyland's Main Street is not a 1-to-1 replica of Marceline's Kansas Avenue, but it was inspired not only by Walt's childhood memories, but actually physically inspired as well, since Walt came here as early as 1946 to prepare for what would eventually become Disneyland.
So join me (Justin) and Tyler Evans as we walk all over Marceline in the blazing summer heat! Oh! And make sure you check out
http://www.waltdisneymuseum.org -where you can donate or buy merchandise to help the museum stay open, as well as find visitor information if you're inspired to visit!~
And if you like what you see you can always get a Randomland T-shirt at http://www.livefastdiepoor.com
