Walt Disney was the age of four when his family moved from Chicago to a forty-acre farm in Marceline. Walt quickly learned to love farm life, and the old barn became his and his younger sister Ruth's favorite place to play.

The barn provided Walt with his first show business experience when he produced a "barn circus" and charged the neighborhood kids a dime admission. When his audience discovered the circus consisted of a goat, a pig, and a family dog and cat dressed in Ruth's doll clothes, they protested. Hearing the commotion, Walt's mother Flora promptly ordered Walt to refund the admission with this admonition: 'If you deliver more than your audience expects - they will never be disappointed." It's a lesson Walt took to heart.
