WALT DISNEY FAMILY MUSEUM

We will be traveling to the Presidio in San Francisco to visit the newly opened Walt Disney Family Museum. The whole family will be fascinated with over 1,400 artifacts and hands-on interactive stations featuring Disney characters. There are countless art/animation exhibits and even a model of an early Disneyland Park.

We will have a timed entry into the museum and then each family is free to explore at their leisure. Lunch will be on your own so bring a lunch or bring money for the Museum Café. For those of you who are interested in exploring the Presidio, there is a FREE Presidio Shuttle (shuttle schedule will be sent with final confirmation letter to participants). This is a must-see for any Disney aficionado!
