Old after-Church routine

Disney FastPass app
Yesterday, a trip down memory lane….get FastPasses to Peter Pan. By 1130am Peter Pan was out of FastPasses for the entire day.

 

Mickey Mouse shaped drinking straws
After securing FastPasses, we had lunch at Columbia Harbor House. Our favorite meal was underwhelming. Everyone has an off day – but it’s never supposed to happen at Disney, right?

This storm front was hours away from our Magic Kingdom plans.

 

Columbia Harbor House view
We always sit in the alcove “bridge” – a table with a view.

My iPhone and watch mark our location.

 

Disney bad show
Ooops.

 

Disney's Dumbo ride
Anticipation.

A final “we were there” shot.

 

Old after-Church routine we haven’t done in years….

Go home, change, go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom to ride Peter Pan and have lunch at Columbia Harbor House.

Five tips for being successful from jeff noel

Disney Keynote Speaker Orlando
On a search yesterday for a special Disney legend’s window on Main Street, USA.

 

Jim Cora Disney Window
A request from Doug Lipp, author of “Disney U”. Google said Jim’s window is above Disney Clothiers (left side).

 

Disney Continuous Improvement
Jim Cora told Doug and Pam Lipp his window is on the right side, on the last block.

 

Disney Keynote Speaker Orlando
Checked every window, on both sides, twice. Stayed for lunch and then the midday Parade.

 

anytime fitness
While biking home from Magic Kingdom, swung into Anytime Fitness to register. Saying goodbye to my old gym – a member there since September 2006.

 

Orlando Swimming pool temp
After school yesterday, we took a dip.

 

work hard
A big part of the bottom line is outworking your competition.

 

Five tips for being successful from jeff noel.

  1. Dream big
  2. Know precisely why your dream is important
  3. Don’t quit your day job
  4. Fall in love with risk and failure
  5. Be different than everyone else in your space

Obviously, narrowing the big picture to only five is challenging.

Your mileage may vary.

Go.

Only recently have i begun sharing this fact about leaving Disney

TED Talk on having it all
Think again? (top left) This screenshot is from the video embedded below. It’s 17-minutes. Only watch it if you yearn for the encouragement to balance your family-work life.

 

Worth noting that i retired in 2014 and left Disney at age 55 for two reasons:

  1. Didn’t want to be gone (business travel) while our Son was in High School.
  2. Didn’t want to do anything at Disney except Disney Institute.

i knew i would live to regret being away during his High School years.

(A decent compromise is watching the first 2.5 minutes…obviously, the entire 17-minutes is valuable. But who’s got 17 minutes?) Anyway…

He’s an 11th-grader now.

Leaving Disney (after 30 years) in 2014 allowed me to be around for his final year of middle school too.

Organized to finish writing seven Disney Business Books

St Mary Lake
Heading to Glacier National Park five times this year – seven Disney Business Books to finish.

 

Organized to finish writing seven Disney Business Books?

Sure seems so.

Took an intentional and extended break from finishing the seven Disney Books.

The reflection on how the books have been created, how far they’ve come, and the final push to cross the finsih line, is, well, motivating and inspiring me to finish them in a way i didn’t see coming.

Poised for the best Summer ever?

Sure seems so.
