Disney University and Jeff Noel University?
Years ago Disney University (DU) hosted “Disney Institute (DI)” seminars. Had lunch at DU two days ago and told my lunch companion about this fact. It was so long ago that only a handful of people remember, and even fewer care.
However, the insight for me is how small and humbly
So to think there could be a Jeff Noel University sounds crazy. Then again, maybe not.

Disney University was the original Disney Institute.
Few, if any, know this.
Why?
Because it’s not important.
But knowing it, and living through it, help me convince my audiences that it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.
The reason professional development left Disney University (DU) is that DU no longer had the room, nor staff, to train “outsiders”.
Coincidently, a new brainchild from Michael and Jane Eisner was the concept of “Smart Fun”.
In addition to Disney Adult Discoveries (we nicknamed them DAD Programs) and Personal Enrichment Programs (like animation), there was an opportunity to move DU Seminars to the new Disney Institute.
And that’s what happened in 1996.
