For a couple of years now, Disney fans have surely been aware of the project to restore Walt Disney’s childhood home in Chicago, Illinois. That project got a big boost at March’s annual meeting of the shareholders where The Walt Disney Company pledged to donate a whopping $250,000 towards the restoration.
This week a very special guest stopped by the home: the one and only Dick Van Dyke. We’ve seen before just what amazingly good shape and spirit Van Dyke is in for being 90 and, in this clip captured by Nicolas Degrazia, he shows off his youth once again as he leads a chorus of fans in “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” from Mary Poppins.
Pretty amazing, huh? Van Dyke was also in town for a performance at the Tivoli Theatre that was presented by The Walt Disney Birthplace and The Dick Van Dyke Foundation. Who wishes they could have been there in person? I know i do.
