Disney retirement 12th anniversary, home

Glacier National Park
Retirement can inspire a vision for a life of leisure and epic travels. We started doing this well before retirement. Now we hope to turn pro. Photo: Late September solo trip to “The Boathouse” on Lake McDonald with The Continental Divide near sunset.

Two ongoing and consuming 2026 priorities:

  1. Recover from devastating 2026 freeze damage. (done)
  2. Finish purging a lifetime of Disney stuff.

Then, or perhaps concurrently, daydream and brainstorm how we want to spend our newly-minted, fixed-income freedom.

Lifetime Disney Passes, home

This could be me, or you. Custodial Hosts and Hostesses are the Ambassadors of our Disney Theme Parks.

While earning my lifetime Disney Park Pass, i performed many roles. From Jungle Cruise Skipper, Lifeguard, Concierge Manager, Custodial Manager, to Disney Institute Keynote Speaker.

It was the ride of a lifetime.

Still a work in progress.

Disney home office. The paperwork of life gets done here. Ps. Next up, office and office-closet shelves.

Proverbial two-minute warning…

This is the final post of the five-daily, differently-themed blog posts today.

You know what that means?

No, it doesn’t mean, I’m going to Disney World!

It means, let’s get busy closing out the office-closet file cabinets’ purging.

Disney everyday, home

Disney.

Everyday.

Transferring Disney’s best business insights to my personal life transformed the way i thought about priorities.

Now, i can’t think about my priorities unless they are prioritized.

And for many years now, they’ve been prioritized.

Transformation.

Consistency.

Quality.

Vibrancy.

So yeah, Disney, everyday.
