SAN FRANCISCO — He’s the reason adults of a certain age can’t stop themselves from finishing the song line beginning “M-I-C-KE-Y,” the force causing untold legions to see marching mops when they hear the rousing strains of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” But the story of Walt Disney the man sometimes gets forgotten in the telling of his legend. Descendants of the 20th-century innovator hope to fix that disconnect with The Walt Disney Family Museum, opening this fall in San Francisco. “My dad’s story is an inspirational story,” Disney’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, said. “I want people to understand his character and how he pursued his career.”
And have fun. “Our museum will be entertaining,” she said. “That’s what dad was all about.” Still under construction, with an opening date of Oct. 1, the museum will feature 10 galleries, starting with Disney’s beginnings on a Missouri farm. Among the artifacts is the form on which a 16-year-old Disney lied about his age (changing his birth date from 1901 to 1900) to train as a Red Cross ambulance driver in World War I France; he arrived as the war ended. Exhibits include listening stations and more than 200 video monitors as well as interactive displays.
