It all started with a Mouse

January 25, 1982 was his first day working for The Walt Disney World Resort.

He was hired as an ‘Attractions Host’.

He didn’t know what that meant until he arrived in Florida (from Pennsylvania) and attended the company orientation program – Disney Traditions.

Later that day he was told his training would begin the very next day as a Jungle Cruise Skipper in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

They told him him to introduce himself to the Guests as ‘Jungle Jeff’.

So he did.

True story.

And yes, it did all start with a Mouse.

This morning, the first post sharing the news.

(sure it happened 100 days ago. And yes, no one blogs like this. Blah, blah, blah, right?)

Has anyone ever worked – say 34 years – for a moment to finally say, it’s done. It’s available online?

The word Disney is not mentioned once.

No reference whatsoever.

The most under rated piece of peace of mind that could ever be placed in a book is what I was able to leave out.
