The Presidio- Walt Disney Family Museum

My last full weekend in the Bay Area- what to do? It was a Saturday, just a little gloomy and the new Walt Disney Family Museum had just opened up on October 1. So off I go on one of my many road trips since being here. The museum was built by Walt Disney's daughter and grandson. It's location is the famous Presidio- old military base located at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was my first time going there and what a magnificiant location! For those of you from Indy and know what they have done to Ft. Benjamin Harrison?- well imagine the update and change and then make it a state park and there you have the Presidio.

The museum is located in one of the old barracks and let me tell you it is true to Disney form with visual interaction, electronics, old 1950's tv's, the model layout for Disney Land and all of Walt's dream, drawings and many many awards all in one location. For Disney buffs and collectors it is a "Must See" location.

You can not take pictures inside- so take my word for it- You gotta see it! for more information go to the museum web site: http://www.disney.go.com/disneyatoz/familymuseum/
