Summary

Step inside Walt Disney's office at the Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, California in today's special episode. Disney Parks invited me to tour the original Walt Disney Animation building and step inside Walt's office suite 3H, which he occupied from 1940 to 1966. The Walt Disney Archives carefully restored this space to look exactly as Walt left it with over ninety percent accuracy, including his original furniture, props, photos, and memorabilia. In this episode, we'll discuss what it's like to tour Walt Disney's Office and the Walt Disney Studios Lot. D23 Members can take a similar tour by visiting the D23 website. To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel. Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway. Tag me and join the conversation below.
