Disney World 1971 opening team Cast Members are Rockstars

One of the first Cast Members i met when i started in Disney Resort Hotel operations.

The left Disney Sevice Award pin (above photo) is rare. First, it’s only available to “October 1, 1971 Opening Day” Cast Members. Second, it’s only visible on current Cast Member nametags.

i met Bob, a Bellman, after i transferred from Disney’s River Country Water Park (the original) in early 1985. At that time he was a 14-year Cast Member and kinda like a rockstar to me.

i still think Bob’s a rockstar (40+year Cast Member) and asked him for permission to snap a pic a few years ago when i was passing through on one of my frequent bicycle rides to Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

Disney Institute Brand Loyalty Keynote Speakers

This is such a great topic to prepare for and deliver.

There are three (not four) world-class basics that make up the Disney Brand Loyalty architecture.

i have been teaching our Son (now 18) these Disney blueprints for two-thirds of his life.

We are both more aware human beings because of this student-teacher-student relationship.

Everything i learned, did, and taught from 32 years as an insider and two-time Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement recipient has been synthesized into brilliantly simplistic DNA.

No one i know has deconstructed Disney’s operational DNA and reconstructed it in such a useful way.

It brings a wonderful sense of fun and a glowing opportunity to offer such a unique professional development opportunity to the world.

Disney Institute Brand Loyalty Keynote Speakers are rare.

Why?

Because The Disney Approach to Brand Loyalty (DABL) was the least requested Disney Institute (DI) Keynote Speech. DABL was also the least offered Open Enrollment program.

It was more effective and efficient to have a few people well-versed in the subject matter and logistics to represent DI. i am one of those lucky people.

Note: The Disney Approach to Brand Loyalty has been discontinued as a product since just before i retired from Disney in 2014.

Chasing dreams. If you think not having an MBA is what’s holding your career back, nothing i say will change your mind.

Happy 90th birthday Mickey Mouse.

Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse and all the Disney Characters, as well as Walt Disney World and Disney Institute, have been very, very good to me and my Family.
