Doing Disney in the Bay Area

[ScubaD]

No matter where we go we always seem to end up doing a little Disney.

This summer's vacation took us to the San Francisco area for a little R&R. Of course we did, and will continue to do, the basic Bay Area activities which are always enjoyable. This time we had to sneak in a few moments with our Disney family.

First activity, we traveled to Napa Valley and visited the Silverado Vineyards which is owned by Ron and Diane Miller, daughter and son-in-law of Walt Disney. The property is spectacular nestled in the valley of wine country. And if you did not know the Disney family are the proprietors of this winery you would not catch a clue of the history of this place, except for one small poster of Ratatouille in the lobby.

Then of course we visited the Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. What a joy to follow the life of Walt Disney, both the good and enjoyable times of his life and the rough and agonizing side of business. And of course the tears came as we entered the tiny room where his passing is chronicled.

Just a minor trip report to share. Thanks for listening.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried at the end of the Walt Disney Family Museum.

We really enjoyed following Walt's life as we made our way through the museum. It was one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco last month.

I hope to visit the museum in October. Can't wait to see it.

Geez, I feel so lazy that I haven't gotten over to the Disney Family museum yet. And I am their target audience- a local Disney lover! Haha. I guess I just need to find a free Sat. or Sunday to get over there. I have heard nothing but great things.

Glad you had a nice trip!

We were in SF for 2 days back in December, but didn't get a chance to go to the museum. Next time I'll visit for sure. I LOVED SF. I can't wait to go back. Beautiful city.
