   (Wall Street Journal) - For generations, Disney characters   
   have been indelibly stamped on our imaginations, and   
   boomers can easily call to mind the smiling, avuncular Walt   
   Disney himself, as seen on the studio's prime-time TV   
   series. But what do we really know about his history and   
   personality? Probably not very much if we haven't read Neal   
   Gabler's exhaustive 2006 biography "Walt Disney: The   
   Triumph of the American Imagination" (Amazon.com:   
   http://xrl.us/GablerDisney ). That's a situation the new   
   Walt Disney Family Museum has set out to rectify. Housed in   
   a former army barracks in the Presidio of San Francisco,   
   this series of galleries built around a miniaturized   
   replica of Disneyland tells three different stories. As   
   Richard Benefield, the executive director, explains, the   
   narratives cover "Walt's work and his achievements, his   
   relationship with his family, and the technology of   
   animation"..
