Exploring the Walt Disney Family Museum at the #MonstersUEvent

Welcome to the Walt Disney Family Museum

While I was in San Francisco for the Monsters University Event I also got the opportunity to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum which is located in The Presidio. All 25 of the bloggers who attended Monsters University along with our awesome Disney Pr Rep, Marshall Weinbaum, took the tour. We split into two groups so that we’d be able to hear our tour guides better. If you go to the museum bring your camera because they allow non-flash photos to be taken which is great because there are so many fun pieces to see at the museum.

In the main lobby there are many awards that Walt Disney won. I think it was something like a 10th of the overall awards that he won in his lifetime or something like that.

Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum

If you are ever in San Francisco and you find yourself in The Presidio then you must take a tour through the Walt Disney Family Museum. We went there today as part of the Monsters U Event trip. A group of 25 bloggers went and took a fantastic abbreviated tour through the museum. There is so much in this place and yet barely scratches the surface of all that Walt Disney did in his lifetime. The man was always moving, creating and innovating. The image above is of a model for his vision for Disneyland. I could have looked at that all day long. What an amazing model.

I took a few photos while I was there and will add them once I have time. Long flight and little sleep.
