Book is not for people grasping at straws

This book may help desperate people, but probably not. Desperate people have issues larger than the content of Jeff Noel’s Disney books.

This book is not designed for people grasping at straws.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Undeniable ripple effect

Disney Institute wisdom — Habits create our life.

With personal vibrancy and organizational vibrancy, when you improve one of the five the other four benefit. Conversely, when you neglect one of the five the other four suffer. And so it goes. Habits equal behaviors, behaviors equal results, therefore habits equal results.

Disney was never a thought

A lifetime at Disney allowed “Disney Style” to morph into a hybrid “Jeff Style”.

Walt Disney became a distant memory. With one exception. When i was home, too sick to attend school, those Disney albums brought comfort in a genuinely nice way. A lifetime career with Disney was never, ever, a thought.

What did he do before Disney?

Mid Life Celebration, the book, and Disney Legacy name tag at mountain lake — Small-town kid. Shy. Athlete. No plans for the future.

What did he do before Disney?

Small town Pennsylvania, born and raised. A Paper Mill town. No stop lights, no grocery store, no fast food.

Captained the High School football team and set school records in Track.

Went to college near Philadelphia to become a Health & Physical Education teacher. This dream was crushed during Jeff’s Elementary School student-teaching experience. The kids ate him alive. He had no command of children. Jeff changed his major which led to an opportunity to intern at Walt Disney World’s Cast Activities Department in 1982.

Married in 1983, 15 months before he and his wife permanently relocated from Washington State to Walt Disney World.

Together, Jeff and his wife Cheryl created Disney Magic for 66 years.
