I had an amazing time here! So much to see and learn here, and incredible tribute to an incredible man.

this place contains a lot of useful information about Walt Disney as a man. not a place for kids. it is definitely interesting to see the beginning of such successful business.

It may not look like much from the outside but the museum is very nice and enjoyed it a lot.
Daphne YuAugust 25, 2011
Very 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.
LizOctober 7, 2013
Exceeded my expectations! Spent 3 hours here and read <1/2 the content. Wonderful museum for fans of the genius of Disney.
Bret McManusJune 7, 2012
Don't bring kids unless they really really want to know about all things Disney .... Pretty awesome though... Best Museum ever
Lauren K.June 21, 2013
Cool history but pricey admission. If you go around lunch, bring your own food or be prepared to spend $$ at the cafe.
Christine JaoryJuly 22, 2013
Download 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

The Dalí exhibit runs until January 3rd. Definitely worth the trip if you can make it.

Make 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 and very interesting. Not a good place to take the kids. Only one game in the entire museum. Very lovely and clean!

Opened 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.

Attended 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, 2010
Wonderful museum in the Presidio to see the untold story behind the Disney family. Parents may enjoy more than kids (but still kid friendly)
Carl TannerOctober 11, 2015
Well worth the price of admission, especially the last few rooms.
Matthew CoxJuly 26, 2014
Can'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.
Jonathan SanbornMarch 10, 2013
This place is awesome. But leave yourself time to explore the treasure trove of Disney memorabilia.
Steve DSSeptember 26, 2010
If you're a Disney fan and/or into drawing and animation -- you'll find this a hidden treasure of history and inspiration.

Serena TDecember 6, 2010
Awesome museum about Walt Disney. Expect lots of reading for 3-4 hours! Now the Wiki entry about Walt Disney doesn't do him justice. :)
G GJune 17, 2018
Such a joy to find out about the history of disney
Dave TavresAugust 13, 2010
The furniture at the entrance of the galleries is the original furniture from Walt's apartment above the firehouse at Disneyland.

A definite must visit when at the Presidio.

Give 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.
Hilary MartinMarch 21, 2014
This museum has one of the best views in the city.
Kris NDecember 8, 2012
The staff get kind of stalker-ish as it gets closer to closing time.

A must see for any Disney fan.

Being the Disney history freak I am...I was sad to leave. I could live there!
Heather TurnerSeptember 1, 2012
Do NOT buy the sandwiches in the cafe. The $8.50 price is for the Disney label only 'cause the sandwiches are complete crap!!!!!
