Spring break, work

Two retired Disney Cast Members, with 66 combined years of Disney Service. Photo: Disneyland trip to celebrate Cheryl’s Disney retirement in February 2020. No one saw Covid-19 coming when this happened. Just rumors. No panic. No pandemic talk. One month later the world changed. Glad we got this trip in the books before the panic, uncertainty, and masks.

“Anyone else think like this” is a blog category.

Anyone else think of retirement as a potential “Spring Break” opportunity?

Will my retirement spring break last one month, one year, one decade?

Time will tell.

Disney Service Keynote inquiry

Honeymoon. Puget Sound and Vancouver Island. Early 1980’s. Living the dream.

Disney Service Keynote inquiry, two days ago.

British Columbia.

Mid-November 2026.

You’ve heard me say that if work comes to me and it’s in Orlando and the price is reasonable. i would do it every day.

But this is in British Columbia.

So, this came to me but it’s not in Orlando. Also, the fee is unknown right now.

One out of three won’t work.

That’s a heavy lift travel commitment.

Let’s see what the fee and travel allowance net out to. By the way, this is through a Speakers Bureau.

Ps. It’s in a small town on Vancouver Island. If it works out, it’ll be a trip down memory lane. It’s unlikely it will work out.

Another day in paradise, work

Another day in paradise.

No, not talking about retirement as paradise.

Talking about retirement as adventure.

Adventure is paradise.

Don’t waste your adventure time and opportunity.

The only thing that’s different about adventure now is that you do not need to carry the weight of work accountability and work responsibility because no one is paying you for those things anymore.

A new kind of career paradise.

Showtime, work

Showtime.

Huh?

Showtime. It’s showtime.

Been saying it for 27 years.

Prompted by a 15-year professional speaking career at Disney Institute.

And as i say it again today in this post, it means the same thing.

A mildly different context now…

Retirement.

Possibly old age.

And definitely death.

Hopefully continued contribution until the end.
