Biglietto d'ingresso al Walt Disney Family Museum di San Francisco

Exciting experience at the Walt Disney Family Museum with original letters, drawings, and photos

Interesting museum about Walt Disney, the man. Don't expect rides or shows, it's a walk thru museum in a lovely setting. Recommend going to tunnel tops park after

The tour was very interesting. I learned so many new things regarding Disney. My son enjoyed it. I would go earlier than the tour time so you can enjoy the presidio. It was beautiful seeing all the views and grounds.

We visited the museum on a Monday morning in July, and it wasn't too crowded, which allowed us to take our time to look at and read what is in the museum. It traces Walt's life chronologically: from his very first drawings to the theme parks, obviously including the appearance of all the most famous cartoons: Mickey Mouse, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, etc. The museum is very well done and there is even an app with audio for each room in different languages. I highly recommend downloading it, it's much more practical, especially when you don't understand English perfectly, and it allows you to look at the objects in the rooms at the same time. You can find cameras there, including the multiplane camera as well as the very first Mickey Mouse items. I can only recommend this museum to you. I recommend spending at least 2 hours there, 3 is more comfortable.

Amazing historical journey of an animation and entertainment institution A hidden gem in San Francisco

I am a lifelong Disney fan and was so pleased to learn a lot of new things about Walt Disney. To start with, the museum is in the Presidio, a historic prior military installation which is very picturesque. The museum staff are all delightful and easy to identify as they wear bright red sweaters/shirts. I learned that Walt’s notable first cartoon character was a rabbit. Sounded like he lost this character through some underhanded business dealings. Also learned that he created a number of short films featuring a little girl inserted into animation. Four little girls were used for this series of shorts. Very interesting to watch. Then we get to Mickey and the beloved early Disney films. Lots of details about how innovative Walt’s staff were regarding creating animation films and Walt picked talented staff and let them create and invent. Nice to see how many women had integral roles. I never realized how many cartoon shorts were produced. Then got to see a very fun documentary about the opening day of Disneyland. Barely controlled chaos, so different from the Disney precision I’ve always experienced at Disney world. Learned Walt died of complications of lung cancer surgery before Disney World in Orlando opened. Lots of great artifacts and anecdotes, well worth a visit. Cafe had only drinks and snacks, but there was a nice variety of food trucks right outside. Gift shop was a bit underwhelming, mostly books and t-shirts/sweatshirts. If you have any interest in Disney this is well worth a couple hours of your day!

We spent around 3 hours including about 30 mins in the very reasonably priced cafe. Having visited the Disney world in Florida it was interesting to hear and see the family story and history behind the family. Well worth a visit.

Public Parking must be paid with a credit card before entering the museum. Allow about 3 hours if you like to read through a museum. Lots of family memorabilia.. some one of a kind.

We really enjoyed this museum. Lots of interesting information about Walt Disney’s life.

Excellent displays of Walt Disney from early life to his passing. As you would expect from anything Disney, the displays were interactive., interesting and well-paced.
