January 25, 1982 and September 27, 1984 are both listed as ‘hire dates’.

The second date is used to track ‘full-time longevity’.

In six weeks, the service pin changes to 30.

As our biological clocks tick by, we have the prerogative to relish the moments. To bask in the sum of our career contribution.

Or not.

It’s a choice.

Only one person focuses on it.

The CEO.

Five midlife reasons to love Disneyland – one themed reason on each blog:

5. Living the lessons practiced by Walt Disney himself (hq)

Quality will out. – Walt Disney

Become the most admired company in the world. – Bob Iger

Disney's Not So Scary Halloween party sign
Walt Disney World’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is an annual Fall tradition for many Guests and Cast Members

 

Walt Disney World’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is an annual Fall tradition for many Guests and Cast Members. Had a special moment after the final fireworks sequence concluded as the breathtaking oh’s and ah’s from so many people turned into roaring applause.

A moment so hard to describe from the vantage point of an almost 30-year Cast Member (standing next to his wife with the same Disney longevity).

Typical day in paradise near Walt Disney World.

  • Wife and Son on way to surgery center
  • Son (13) will have 7th colonoscopy
  • Sun almost up
  • Writing this, the 5th of five daily posts
  • Short two-mile run (if I’m lucky)
  • Head to training
  • Learn all day
  • pray all day
  • let go all day
  • hope all day

Probably leaving a few things out.

Be well and remain amazed.

Yes.
