A wonderful sense of community awaits, where all are greeted as welcome Guests and become cherished friends.

Roy Disney, October 25, 1971

Roy came out of retirement after his younger brother’s 1966 death. Roy could have simply dumped the (swamp) land. We bought it (27,443 acres/43 square miles) cheap. We could sell it cheap. Walt was so crazy to believe we could create the vacation capital of the world in the middle of alligator, snake, and mosquito-infested swampland. Roy knew better. So did everyone else. Ain’t no way, too big a reach. Yet here we are.

Sitting in our favorite place on the planet. Left our fav place to walk to and through our (three-way tie) third fav place, Walt Disney World. That’s a 13.5-mile hike on vacation.

My life’s rock-solid foundation is built on the basics: vibrant habits for all five of life’s big choices.
