Soo and Maggie blog about our adventures in San Diego and other parts of the world.
The Walt Disney Family Museum
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.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

2015
A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

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.
