Stepping into Gallery 8, a long corridor, guests will find a breathtaking second-floor view of the Golden Gate and the Presidio to their left. The glass curtain wall encloses the original courtyard of the 19th century barracks building, and provides a counterpoint to displays about the Disney Studio's Tru-Life Adventures and People and Places series of films. Monitors on the opposite wall are turned perpendicular to the glass.

The largest space in the Museum is Gallery 9. The former courtyard is now enclosed, and holds a long curved ramp, illustrating the creative explosion that marked the latter part of Walt Disney's life. Among displays is Walt's beloved Lilly Belle miniature steam locomotive, as well as videos showing it in operation in his backyard. Moving down to the ground level, visitors will find displays detailing Walt's many interests, going even beyond Walt Disney Productions.
