It was announced today that Walt Disney's birthplace will be resorted as a museum. Throughout the years, Walt Disney's home has been renovated and changed. The home was recently purchased by Dina Benadon and Brent Young. Both want the house to be restored exactly how the Disney's kept it. It has been said that Walt and Roy Disney were both born inside the house.
On Walt's birthday, December 5th (tomorrow), The Walt Disney Birthplace Preservation Project will be launched.
