Disney Institute 1999-2014

Final day. Intentionally picked Halloween. Teeing up this remark: “After 30 years at Disney it was really scary to leave.”
Rod and Morgan.
By 2014, most Disney Institute (DI) facilitators and advisors worked from home. The DI leadership team and administrative staff occupied the available office space.
Keeping it fun. It’s a non-negotiable.
Watch what happens in this photo story…
Blurry, unposed photos are among the most cherished.
This is what happens when you follow the rules.
Starting to not follow the rules.
Wait for it…
Ta-da! Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Last day at Disney Institute, Halloween 2014. It was a “Ghost-Town” late on a Friday afternoon. A Halloween Friday at that.

Thought Cheryl and i would spend 40 years each at Walt Disney World. Can you imagine one couple serving and leading (and having fun) for 80 years combined?

Which begs the profound question – the one i coined and operationalized at Disney Institute…

So what?

So what if you spent all those years at Disney. Who cares? What does that give you after you’re retired? And finally, so what, was it worth it?
