First time i’ve seen these available in a retail location – the exact ones i gave away at Disney Institute.

 

Professionally in Cozumel today from 8:30am – 4:30pm.

Tie one on.

Luke Skywalker is the Hope the resistance needs.

Without Luke – without Hope – it’s over.

Skywalker is the catalyst.

A catalyst and a spark are the same.

Catalyst.

No spark, no fire.

No fire, no hope.

No hope, no plan.

No plan, no transformation.

No plan, the resistance (fear, doubt and mediocrity) wins.

Professionally at Sea all day today, heading to Cozumel.

The days are long, the years are short.

When you are working through your day to day routine, the days are long.

Yet your years seem to fly by.

On a luxury cruise, it’s the days that fly by, not the years.

How does this opposite effect happen?

Magic.

Professionally heading out for a Disney Cruise this morning

Walt Disney signature
March 1923: Walt Disney telling Roy Disney the gist of Walt’s New York meeting regarding Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

 

ROY O DISNEY

LEAVING TONIGHT STOPPING OVER KC ARRIVE HOME SUNDAY MORNING SEVEN THIRTY DONT WORRY EVERYTHING OK WILL GIVE DETAILS WHEN ARRIVE

WALT

 

Walt would recall later, “I was all alone back then, i didn’t even have a Mouse.”

It was on that infamous train ride from New York to California that Walt drew Mickey Mouse for the first time.

Walt replaced Oswald the Lucky Rabbit’s tail with a longer, skinny tail and he replaced the long tall bunny ears with big round mouse ears.

Every Company has a story.

The great ones use their story in intentional ways.

Still writing, even on Thanksgiving. Why? Because it’s a blessing.

What happens to what doesn’t get eaten?

An immediate sanitation and recovery process should the kiddie pool need it.

Disney’s structure and process is unmatched.

The towel figure is a perfectly timed and themed Moana tribute. Also a rare glimpse of animated port hole images (this time from Toy Story).

When you see Moana this will make perfect sense.

 

The disembarking process was much easier than i expected.

High expectations officially exceeded.

2016 Disney Dream Cruise Day 5 fond farewell.

Over and over i witnessed and smiled at incredible attention to detail.

If we (Disney) ever miss an opportunity, it’s because we have a blind spot. It’s not because we don’t care or think something isn’t worth it.

Funny how i was visiting as an inspector, but continuously found myself saying the Magic word, “Wow”.
