Unlocking The Magic: Talking all things Disney Parks, Universal and Cruising


Join us: https://www.patreon.com/c/unlockingthemagic Welcome back to Unlocking the Magic ! Today we’re stepping away from the parks and heading to a place that’s just as magical in a quieter, more personal way. We’re talking about the Walt Disney Family Museum , a hidden gem that every true Disney fan needs to experience at least once. In this episode, we are going on an inspiring journey through the museum , . a place that goes far beyond memorabilia and instead unlocking the man behind the magic . This museum isn’t just a timeline of Walt’s life it’s his daughter Diane’s love letter to her father. It’s designed to show us the person Walt was before the suits and the success. And it does exactly that. The museum walks you through Walt’s life in a way that feels almost like flipping through a family scrapbook from his childhood to his days as a struggling animator, to the moment Mickey Mouse changed everything. It’s filled with the voice of Walt himself, rare family photos, hand-drawn sketches, and heartfelt letters that give you an unfiltered view into who he really was: a dreamer, a doer, and someone who never stopped pushing boundaries.…
