I am a dyed-in-the-wool Disney fan. Yes, Harry Potter is great, but I still have fond memories of my first trip to Disneyland (the first year it opened in Buena Park and I was five-years-old). I suppose that’s why I asked my very creative CA, Kim, to paint pictures of Goofy and Pluto, and Pooh and Tigger on the walls of the room in my chiropractic clinic (rather than the newer characters) that I use primarily for children. There is a certain calming effect to those “old time” Disney faces. So, I’m thrilled that the new Walt Disney Family Museum is opening its doors to the public today.

If you don’t already know, the museum is located in the Presidio. It’s housed in two of the old army barracks (built in the 1890s). Along with the old barrack buildings is a newly constructed 20,000 square foot glass and steel building which is occupied by a 100 seat theatre, a pavilion and classrooms for teaching digital animation and traditional art techniques.

The Museum was built to tell the creative life story of Walt Disney. It will feature early drawings, animation and the Disney family history. Walt Disney’s voice own voice will be used to narrate certain exhibits.

So, I’ve closed my clinic for the day. I’m taking off my “chiropractor hat” and putting on my “grandparent hat” and heading for the museum. I purchased my tickets over a month ago because they won’t be available for purchase at the door today, but they will be in the future.
