This article highlights special events taking place at The Walt Disney World Family Museum in San Francisco, CA.

Come with me as I tour the Walt Disney Family Museum for the very first time and talk about the various galleries and the treasures within.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend I had a chance to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum. This is a blow by blow take on that visit.

Walt Disney may have said that it all started with a mouse, but we can't forget that it also all started with him. Located in what was once a barracks on the main post of San Francisco's Presidio, the Walt Disney Family Museum is 40,000 square feet that honors Walt Disney's life and achievements.

Fans of Walt Disney had two destinations where they could get closer to the magic– Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Now there is a third - The Walt Disney Family Museum (WDFM) in San Francisco.

When The Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio of San Francisco was looking for a way to illustrate the ancestry and family roots of Walt Disney, they turned to an imaginative Bay Area artist and mapmaker named Dave Stevenson. His work, which will be on exhibit in the Lower Lobby of the Museum from September 15- to January 3, has been seen at the entrance to the Museum’s first gallery by thousands of visitors since the Museum opened.

The Walt Disney Family Museum is celebrating its first anniversary by asking What Would Walt Do? Specifically they want you, to channel your inner-Walt and create a promotional video for the museum then upload it to Youtube. The best videos will win prizes, including a trip to the museum and a private tour.

On a recent trip to San Francisco for a conference, I had one sightseeing trip in mind: a trip to the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. This two year old museum, created with the help of Walt Disney’s daughter, Diane, is a beautiful tribute to the genius creator.

The Walt Disney Family Museum is celebrating with film presentations and visitor programs throughout the month.
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to several Oscar® winners, including Pixar and Lucasfilm, but there is only one place where you can get an up-close look at more than 20 of the famous statuettes—The Walt Disney Family Museum.
