Six years in the making yet last minute details exist

Retirement Party Invitation

If you could have a Disney retirement party, what venue?

While it has been six years in the making, the actual final day has been determined rather quickly. This means logistically, choices have to be made and on short notice, it’s challenging to get your first choice.

However, because of dedicated people who make Magic everyday, the event will be at the first choice location.

Hat tip to WG.

Disney Characters trivia

 

(photo: Someone asked a trivia question yesterday in class… How many Disney characters exist? Someone researched the answer, above.)

After his boss, the next person at work he told was Dennis, two weeks later.

Calling Dennis yesterday during lunch was the first real public moment of truth.

Now it is only a matter of time before everyone knows.

You may not understand this, and that’s okay.

Many will think he’s running from something.

Truth is, he’s running toward something.

And has been for the past six years.

The starter’s pistol is about to fire.

October 7, 2014 he emailed his boss at 6:29am checking on availability for a brief phone call – they both lead busy lives and rarely see each other.

At 7:54am they spoke and he told his boss (as the Delta gate agents used the PA to begin the boarding process):

Official retirement begins November 1, 2014. Last official day at Disney is Friday, October 31, 2014.

The obvious question, “Are you sure?”, was asked and the not so obvious answer was stated, “Yes.”

So I’ve stopped talking about what I’m going to do

celebration
will tell ya when I'm going to celebrate, but not until somethings been accomplished

Man, we spend our entire lives talking about what we’re going to do. And how much of it actually happens? So I’m no longer content with talking about what I’m gonna do. Instead, if someone asks, then I’ll share what’s been done.

Does this thought process ever cross your mind?
