Great start to the trip.
The ice cream place looks like fun.
And this picture-
is fantastic. I love it!

Love the collage - captured a lot of the sites you saw!
You’ll have to wait until later in the trip report to see how they compare to each other. Ahhh… the suspense.
but they still had fun running along the tracks… pretending they were driving imaginary cars.
About 10 years ago, Walt’s grandson and Disney ambassadors brought soil from the Magic Kingdom and water from the Rivers of America to be used in a ceremony when they planted a sapling from the original tree. It’s known as the “Son of the Dreaming Tree”, and it seems to be thriving today.
And here’s a message that Princess left on one of the rafters last year.
What a nice way to spend your day! I'd love to see Marceline someday. It all looks fun and entertaining.
Your 360 photos are cool, it really gives such a good perspective of just what it looks like. And what a great ice cream place you found. It totally fits with just what I would expect to find on a cross country road trip.
Great start!
You are off to a great start! As a mid-Missouri native, I love the shout out. I don't like Taco Johns either. It is not that great.

What a wonderful start to a wonderful trip report!

Trip likes it is off to a great start...anxiously awaiting the San Francisco portion!!!
Joining in - can't wait to hear all the details and if you kept to the plan or had any hiccups or happy accidents. I think it probably worked out for the best that the other families had some different plans and you weren't all together 24/7 ... like you said, just hard to get that many people on the same page for that long of a period of time
Great picture! I feel like I am going to take far to many pictures of that statue!
Love the collage - captured a lot of the sites you saw!
Thanks for including that ... can totally see Pickles in these pictures of Stephanie
Marceline looks so cool and I can totally see just sitting there watching the trains go by!
I love the idea of getting the post cards and envelopes stamped - and quite the sizeable stamp too!
Great - now I have to read the rest of this Tripe Report ..... which I totally would read anyway.
Haha, I love this - also the one of the kids on the merry-go-round ... nice to see kids just playing like kids in a small town.
Aw, that is so cute! Always great to see the kids showing love to each other and enjoying being together!
That's really cool! Seems like a good idea too - unless they'd want to re-create the tree via Disney fake trees like Swiss Family Robinson Tree House or something
That's really nice and super cool that you can come back and see that and remember that trip again.
Bummer that Taco John's didn't live up to the hype (I totally have a bunch of potty jokes in me head) but the ice cream place sounds great!
So glad you started this TR!
I love your stop in Walts hometown, reminds me of trips to MO, when I was a kid to visit my Dads sister, in Cassville. Small town USA.
I am really looking forward to more!

MarbleBob/Matt - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your first posts of the trip. This is going to be an epic TR!
Your collages are wonderful. I always enjoy looking at them and seeing how the kids have grown up.
Looks like you had a nice mix of 3 family together time...and lots of 'me family' time. And yes, it does keep the tensions to a minimum.
Marceline is just delightful. Thank you so much for making time to stop and look around. The 360 pictures are magnificent.
And trains......lots and lots of trains.
Pity about the sofa bed and the Taco shop. The icecream place definitely makes up for it!
Looking forward to the next edition.
I read your trip last year, am looking forward to this one!
Love all of the pics from Marceline, especially the 360 ones! That old school playground equipment is awesome, they don't make it like the used too ;-) Probably for the best...ha! What a great way to kick off your road trip, and I loved learning a little bit about where Walt is from. Also, my middle DD and I shared a little treat at Marceline's Confectionary in DTD on our DL trip and I now realize why I thought Marceline sounded familiar when we were there
um yeah this is something I want to put on my bucket listDrove to Cheyenne, WY - With a stop at Bailey Yard (the world’s largest train yard)
I just wanted to say that I'm here as well! I actually came to the TR forum to look for another specific TR, and I hadn't planned to click on yours but something made me click. I was instantly drawn in and engrossed in your epic trip! I love all of the pictures and details you have shared so far, and I can't wait for the next installments. I may not always have time to comment, but I'm following the thread so hopefully I will get updates.

looks pretty cool the museum sounds a bit like one they have in Altoona Pennsylvania http://www.railroadcity.com/
Thanks, that museum in PA looks awesome! I'll be in Philly for a business meeting later this month. I got my hopes up for a minute, but unfortunately Altoona is a bit out of reach for that trip. Maybe sometime in the future!!!
