After five years of living on a farm in Marceline, Walt’s father became ill and in 1911 the Disney family moved to a rented house in Kansas City.

It was here that Walt and his brother Roy would wake up at 3:30 AM every day to help his father fold and deliver newspapers for two hours before school.

The family lived here until they moved again in 1914, only a few blocks away, to 3028 Bellefontaine Ave.

Today, no trace remains of the Disney family’s original Kansas City home.
