In honor of this, a new exhibit opened at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, so we drove up for the day. Overall, it was an extremely well done exhibit and we enjoyed our time thoroughly. That being said, we were a little underwhelmed. This was due not to an inadequate job on the part of the exhibit's creators, but rather because we are pretty die hard Disney history people and there wasn't really anything in it that we didn't already know or hadn't already seen some version of before. We've been to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco several times, which has repeatedly has blown us away; this exhibit felt like a watered down version of that. We've been to Walt Disney's birthplace in Chicago, we've been to his home of Marceline, MO, and we've taken many different "behind the scenes" tours at both WDW and Disneyland. So for those reasons, we were underwhelmed. The exhibit was beautiful and I would recommend it to any Disney fan who maybe hasn't had the opportunity to go to the museum in San Francisco.
The most insane thing to happen was that I bought a few posters in the gift shop and was checking out when the lady running the nest register said to me, "You look SO familiar!" She looked familiar to me as well, but you know how you sometimes can't place people when you see them in a different setting? That was me, searching for my brain to make a connection! After chatting for a minute, she realized that I was friends with her daughter, who now lives in California! What a crazy small world! Their family is all about Disney as well, so even though she is retired, she is working at the Franklin Institute just for the Disney 100 Exhibit! Of course we took a picture and sent it to my friend!
