BuzzFeed got a rare tour inside Walt’s Los Feliz home in celebration of the upcoming release of the Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition blu-ray. This is what we learned.

1. Located in the hills of Los Feliz, Walt Disney built this fairy tale-looking home in 1932 to start a family with his then-pregnant wife, Lillian (unfortunately, Lillian miscarried the expected child before they were able to move in).
2. 1932 was also the year Walt won his first Academy Award for the animated short Flowers And Trees.
3. The Disneys gave birth to their first child, Diane Disney, in December 1933 followed by the adoption of Sharon Disney in December 1936 — both of who called the Los Feliz house their home into their teenage years.
4. The home was built only four years after the creation of Mickey Mouse, and would house Walt during some of his biggest professional achievements, including the release of his first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
