Union Station Kansas City

Bringing it full circle, Disney 100: The Exhibition at Union Station Kansas City was opened on May 23rd to much fanfare! Since Walt Disney began his career in Kansas City, it was only fitting that the red-carpet premiere occurred blocks from his former studio. Guests enjoyed cocktails and live music, took photos with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, toured the magical exhibition, and delighted in a performance by the Heartland Men’s Chorus. David Hall and the Hall Family were the honorary chairs.

Ashlynn Smith, Christoph Scholz, Bob Regnier, Mike Haverty, the Honorable Peggy Dunn, George Guastello, Union Station Kansas City; Minnie Mouse, Becky Cline, Mickey Mouse, Mayor Quinton Lucas, Matt Linski, and Claire Anello
