Approaching the building entrance, one would never guess just how enormous the inside is.
After perusing the rows and rows of shelves filled with awards I just had to inquire if Mr Disney had any additional awards not shown here. A staff member told me the display’s totaled only a quarter of his awards received. Wow, just wow.
If you think you know everything there is to know about Walt Disney and his family simply by visiting one of the Disneyland parks, then you are seriously mistaken.
This place is a must see destination.
We spent about 5 hours walking around, reading, watching the videos, sitting and taking it all in. Even after all that time I knew there was more to see that I hadn’t gotten to yet.

That’s good you enjoyed the museum!
Why yes, I’m sure if we went back there would still be a ton of exhibits we hadn’t seen yet.
