Being a Fan of Disney: The Podcast Cody Havard

Many Disney fans know that Walt Disney's cherished hometown of Marceline, Missouri played an integral role in his life, and therefore the products the company produced. Most also know that Main Street USA in Disneyland is inspired, in part, by Kansas Avenue in Marceline (since renamed Mainstreet USA). We are joined by Sumner Nesbitt from Walt Disney Hometown Museum to discuss his fandom, his unique connection with Walt Disney, and what it is like to work at the Museum and live in Marceline. This visit was a lot of fun, I learned a lot, and video is available at https://youtu.be/i82EccrNoD8?si=z8flunCY76NYCgsf.
