I took my students here a couple of months ago because I had never been before and my students recommended it as a suggestion for our Art Club Field Trip. We had an amazing time. First, there is a perfect place across the road to have a picnic lunch with views of the GG bridge. There also was plenty of parking. The building looks a lot smaller on the outside, but inside there are floors of history, art, and the journey of Disney. We went specifically to view the Glen Keane Art Exhibit because Glen Keane is one of my favorite artists. The special exhibit was everything I dreamed it would be and to my pleasant surprise, the rest of the museum was just as excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful (especially considering I had lots of kids with me to manage) and the content of each gallery gave a new story that I never knew about Walt Disney. My kids were a bit older, but the galleries had a lot of places where you could pick up something and listen to a story or watch a video, so I think it would be good for younger kids as well because of how interactive it was. It was really special for anyone who loves Disney or is just fascinated with learning something new. My only wish was that we had more time! Also, the gift shop had a lot of really cool books, artworks, post cards and unique gifts.
