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.
