Walt Disney at the Aviation Museum
Guided Museum Tour Including The Walt Disney Studio Exhibits
Walt Disney created movies, TV shows, prints, images, training material, ads, and shorts that helped the country in various ways during World War 2.
From the moment, the anti-aircraft guns rolled onto their studio lot in Burbank, CA (to help protect the nearby airplane company) the artists at Walt Disney Studios in California went to work drawing.
Enjoy discovering how a mouse, duck, and all their cartoon friends helped the war effort from a guide. Available until the end of the year, this guided museum tour includes Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum tickets. Top of The Tower add-on available.

Overview
A visit to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, on Ford Island, begins with taking a shuttle from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. A short ride takes you around various historic sites before the last stop outside the airplane hangars. Once inside, you will meet your museum docent who will guide you around the buildings. The museum collection includes Japanese fighter planes, American bombers, international jets, helicopters, and others, that defy explanation.
There is a lot of history at this location, the buildings and pavement still show the marks from that day in December 1941, when Japanese airplanes destroyed battleships, airplanes, and buildings. Luckily, some survived to this day which guests can enjoy.
After seeing a collection of our most popular and beloved aircraft, we enter the pavilion housing the Walt Disney Studios & World War II exhibits. Over 500 pieces of printed materials, videos, insignias, drawings, and educational shorts, propaganda posters and so much more. There is plenty to see that will amuse, inspire, and even shock you.
Your short guided tour gives a great starting point to help you explore your passions deeper. Explore more at the museum on your own and have a closer look at things. We encourage guests to try the VR Experience and go up the control tower, to see things from a new perspective.
*Note: You will be limited to what you can carry in your hand or can be held in a completely clear bag.
