Happy Birthday To Us (Almost)!

Posted on Fri, 09/24/2010 - 15:00


Grab a pen and mark your calendars! We'll be celebrating our ONE YEAR anniversary here at The Walt Disney Family Museum during a weekend packed with family fun, festivities, and music, October 1, 2 + 3! Admission is half off for our Saturday Night Soiree--think music with a live DJ and cash bar!--which will keep the Museum open until 9PM!

“It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we opened our doors in the Presidio,” said Richard Benefield, founding executive director of the Museum. “Our efforts to present the life and achievements of Walt Disney in an interactive and imaginative way are ongoing and we’re pleased to see families, teens, and seniors all enjoying different elements of the Museum.”

Weekend highlights include:

  • Live Music throughout the weekend. Bring a picnic lunch for the front lawn and we’ll serenade you with ragtime jazz. Friday from 1:00pm – 5:00pm, Saturday 10:00am - 12:30pm, and Sunday 11:00am - 2:00pm
