Walt Disney's Los Feliz

Join the Walt Disney Birthplace on a tour of Walt Disney's Los Feliz, California. When Walt hopped on a train to California from Kansas City, it was his Uncle Robert's house in Los Feliz that became his first home. That property is now under threat of demolition. The Walt Disney Birthplace and friends have stopped that process for now. We'd like to share this beautiful little corner of Walt's story by showing you a cluster of quaint spots associated with the start of Walt's career.

You'll also be enjoying the trip with very special guest Bob Gurr, Disney Legend!

During this tour, you'll see:
- Walt's early homes and business addresses at the very start of his career
- The merry-go-round where Walt sat and thought up the idea for Disneyland
- Locations which further Walt's story and his life with Lillian
- The Woking Way residence Walt moved to when he became successful
- Walt's final resting place

We'll wrap up our tour with a lunch at Walt's favorite restaurant, the Tam O'Shanter!

Your very special guide for this tour is Mindy Johnson, an award-winning author, historian, publicist, educator, musician and more. Mindy's critically acclaimed book, "Tinker Bell An Evolution," was recently honored with two consecutive Family Choice Awards. She was a contributing writer for the celebrated collection "Marc Davis: Walt Disney's Renaissance Man," and the forthcoming volume, "Walt Disney The Animated Movies" with Taschen Publishing. Mindy is currently finalizing her latest book for Disney Editions, "Ink & Paint The Women of Walt Disney's Animation."
