James SantelliAugust 30, 2013Leave a few minutes to linger in the gift shop. There are items you won't usually find at Disneyland or Disney World.
Dan Mondragón SomeraMay 27, 2019Cool (if you are into Disney and stuff). The palace of fine arts is nearby
Mari PosaJune 18, 2013I took a whole of group of kids for a field trip n they loved it esp the free Disney film u get to see in the theather room
Tom McGhanJune 16, 2012Make sure to show your AAA card for a $5 discount per ticket! Also check your bags/coats for free downstairs behind the staircase next to the restrooms.
Great presentation of Walt's family history and genesis of the Disney organization.
Christine JaoryJuly 22, 2013Download Google's Fieldtrip app and redeem the offer for free admission! Grab food/have a picnic at Off The Grid food/farmers market in front of the museum
Matthew CoxJuly 26, 2014Can't deny the final hall after Walt's death brought me to tears. Just a straight hallway with both walls lined with sad headlines and weeping characters. Truly moving.
Le Colonial SFAugust 25, 2011Attended a WISE event & discussion panel here last night in one of the auditoriums, felt like we were in a field staring up at the stars. Love the vintage movie posters!
Greg WohlenbergOctober 13, 2010Wonderful museum in the Presidio to see the untold story behind the Disney family. Parents may enjoy more than kids (but still kid friendly)
Daphne YuAugust 25, 2011Very pretty and well put together exhibit. Even the young kids liked it more than I expected since there were many multimedia interactive activities to do.
Serena TDecember 6, 2010Awesome museum about Walt Disney. Expect lots of reading for 3-4 hours! Now the Wiki entry about Walt Disney doesn't do him justice. :)
Diana ArzOctober 18, 2015Fantastic & inspiring exhibit. Interactive, informative, moving. Highly recommended.
Bret McManusJune 7, 2012Don't bring kids unless they really really want to know about all things Disney .... Pretty awesome though... Best Museum ever
Elizabeth RussellMarch 16, 2011Great and very interesting. Not a good place to take the kids. Only one game in the entire museum. Very lovely and clean!
Lauren K.June 21, 2013Cool history but pricey admission. If you go around lunch, bring your own food or be prepared to spend $$ at the cafe.

Paul TJune 1, 2011Give yourself at least half a day to go through it. If you're a huge Disney fan, you may even want to give yourself a whole day.
Jonathan SanbornMarch 10, 2013This place is awesome. But leave yourself time to explore the treasure trove of Disney memorabilia.
HISTORYApril 13, 2010Opened on October 1, 2009, the museum features the life and legacy of Walt Disney. The museum retrofitted and expanded three existing historic buildings on the Presidio’s Main Post.

Peter WoodwardMay 16, 2014Better than expected. Particularly good about presenting the animation process.
Steve DSSeptember 26, 2010If you're a Disney fan and/or into drawing and animation -- you'll find this a hidden treasure of history and inspiration.
Antonio UribeMay 21, 2013I didn't know about this place. It's wonderful, I left the museum very inspired.
- Dave TavresAugust 13, 2010The furniture at the entrance of the galleries is the original furniture from Walt's apartment above the firehouse at Disneyland.
If you are a Disney fan, plan on a minimum of 3 hrs to tour the museum!
Kristen DuncanSeptember 30, 2015Being the Disney history freak I am...I was sad to leave. I could live there!
