I love the museum and these events look great. I signed up for the Christmas with Walt screening, and the Marty Sklar event on November 22. I'm bummed I can't make the Walt event on December 5th, but I can't be too bummed because I will be at Disneyland that weekend.

I can't wait for the Dec. 5 event, and I'll catch the Christmas With Walt film sometime as well. I love the holiday vibe around the city at that time of the year.

I went to the website, and the ticket page is slightly busted.

Wow, I should have come back here sooner. This place has more stuff to my liking. But that a story for another time and another thread.

We'll be there on the 5th too. Going up in the morning, so my oldest can get a look and the museum, then we're attending the Memories of Walt session. I got to attend the Legends Session at D23, this should be alot more intimate. Really looking forward to it.

We accidently got to go to the event while we were there. A founding member was not able to attend and gave away his tickets...woohoo! It was an honor to see these three gentlemen in such a small theater. We sat directly in front of Diane Disney Miller and her son Ron...WOW is all I can say! What luck!
