Came here on a weekday in late June, around 1pm. Located in Presidio, there is a lovely grassy area with big red comfortable chairs and a beautiful view of the water and other buildings. Parking lot is just across. Anyways, we paid $35/person which included access to the temporary Mickey Mouse located in a different building. You don't have to be a huge fan to enjoy and appreciate this museum. It is actually quite large with many different rooms and exhibits. The pieces on display focuses on Walt Disney's ancestry, his personal life and hobbies, and of course the history and creation of his brand. It's was very awesome to see and a bit nostalgic. Towards the end of the museum, is a diorama of Disneyland. What's fascinating about it is the fact that it doesn't represent any specific timeframe. Instead, all attractions and areas are represented. One of the last parts of the museum is a small room that displayed drawings and images of a sad Mickey Mouse that were all illustrated at the time of Walt Disney's death. It was moving for me.

As soon as you exit the exhibit, it leads you straight into the gift shop and a small cafe/coffee bar.

3 adults and 2 kids in our group and we all enjoyed the experience. We were here for about 2.5 hours.
