MiceChat Presents: A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps

An Evening Honoring Disney Legend Floyd Norman

August 8th, 2026 (VIP 5 PM, General Admission 6 PM)

Join MiceChat, Uncle Robert’s House, and the Walt Disney Birthplace for an intimate evening at the rarely opened Walt Disney Storybook Mansion as we celebrate Disney history, honor Disney Legend Floyd Norman, and support the preservation of the places that shaped Walt Disney’s remarkable life.

Held the weekend before D23 Expo, this exclusive fundraiser is limited to just 45 guests and celebrates three historic homes that tell Walt’s story: his humble birthplace in Chicago where the journey began, the recently restored home of Uncle Robert, where Walt and Roy incorporated the Disney Brothers Studio, and the Storybook Mansion in the Hollywood Hills, where Walt raised his family and developed Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and many of Disney’s earliest animated classics.

Today, Uncle Robert’s House is being lovingly preserved by Walt’s granddaughter, Joanna Miller, and her sons, ensuring that another important chapter of Walt’s family story will be shared with future generations. Be among the first to hear about this labor of love. 

Guests will also enjoy a first look at “A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps: From His Birthplace in Chicago to His Storybook Mansion,” MiceChat’s immersive D23 Expo experience that connects these extraordinary homes into one unforgettable journey through Walt’s life, from curious young dreamer to husband, father, storyteller, and visionary.

Featured Presentation: Disney Legend Floyd Norman

Fresh from the announcement that he will receive the Academy Honorary Award for his extraordinary career, Disney Legend Floyd Norman will share stories from his years working alongside Walt Disney and the artists who built Disneyland.

Following the recent passing of Margaret Kerry, the live-action reference model for Disney’s original Tinker Bell, Floyd searched his personal archives and rediscovered original animation drawings created while producing the Disneyland television show in 1954 - featuring the beloved fairy.

Guests will be among the first to hear Floyd’s memories of Margaret Kerry, Walt Disney, and early Disneyland while viewing these remarkable drawings the public has never seen before!
