Its interesting enough. I guess if you were a real Disney fan, this would be a great place to add to your scrapbook of Disney memories. Be that as it may, it was only slightly interesting to me, as Im not a big fan one way or the other. The home is situated in a living, breathing, neighborhood; so Im glad its not that big of an attraction, since I wouldnt like to see hundreds of people tromping about a residential area just to see a house.And when you get down to it, thats all it really is: a house on the corner. So if you really want to get philosophical about it, I suppose thats what the American dream is all about: from being born in a small two-story house, becoming one of the most famous names in American mythology.

The Walt Disney Birthplace is one of the most significant historic sites in all of Chicago. This is the Birthplace of 20th century culture. It is a beautiful and preservation and restoration of the Home Walt Disney, Roy Disney and Ruth Disney were born in.

Right on the corner of North Tripp and east Palmer. Looks very well and maintained after it was bought out from previous owners. Best way to see it is by taking public transportation because its nestled inside neighborhood.

The birthplace home of world icon, Walt Disney is being restored to its former glory both inside and out. Not everyone is aware Walt was born in Chicago, yet throughout each day fans from across the globe come to take pictures of themselves in front of the structure designed by the hands of Flora Disney and built by Elias Disney. The fact that this home is being preserved serves as a reminder that even if you come from humble beginnings, any child who follows their dream without giving up can change the world.

Its literally just an average house that some cultural icon happened to briefly live in before moving. There really isnt anything to see. The most exciting thing you could possibly witness would be gunshots around the block. Boring

It is historic. However, I dont see anyone mentioning the type of neighborhood that its in. That area is in a gang infested area. I dont recommend anyone one to go there. I was raised in that area and it has always been an enter at your own risk. Move the house somewhere else please.

A huge Walt Disney fan since 1968 when I was 11 yrs old, my visit to Walts birthplace home was a religious feeling. Peaceful, exhilarating, emotional and a blessing to experience. Now off to Marceline, MO.
