Glacier – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Luxury canceled

Hotel reservation screen — First three weeks of June are cancelled. Why? Work.

Make grand plans. Adapt as necessary.

Eye sight.

A necessity?

A right?

A gift?

A luxury?

Eye sight in one eye was cancelled the last eight months.

For the past three days, blindness is gone.

Sight restored.

Talk about a gift and a luxury.

WOW!

Blessed beyond measure.

Anxiety note: Yes, there’s a lingering anxiety about the lens failing to hold. And if it fails to hold, there’s been no talk of another sight option. It was easy to accept permanent blindness in the first 30 seconds of the initial blindness August 14, 2023. But now, with all the possibilities offered from corrective surgeries, it feels challenging to say goodbye to sight.

Bonus: A video from Covid lockdown 2020.

Man in hat in stairwell — Always took the stairwell to and from DI HQ. This is the final exit trip. Next stop after this was Magic Kingdom Wardrobe, which was on my route home.

Painting of ships burning — Screenshot from Halloween Day, 2014. Starting at 5:00 PM October 31, 2014, it has been full on “burn the ships”.

Post it note — When a ‘tagline’ or marketing idea popped into my head, i found whatever i could and wrote it down. Later, i simply added it into Apple Notes.

i apply the Disney Way to my life, even “after Disney”.

It’s been fun writing these blogs today while traveling home from our first Winter Glacier trip.

Cold and dusty

river bridge — Belton Bridge is the Park employee’s jumping platform. A rite of passage for many.

The sun is magical when it appears during a cold and cloudy day.

With our back porch being my favorite place in the world, it dawned on me why…

A LinkedIn thread had me share this:

Disney and Delta over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. Fanatic attention to details.

Allison Ausband we recently flew Delta from Orlando thru LAX to Sydney. Your Customer Experience echoed similar praise you have for Disney. Thank you.

LinkedIn thread screen shot — Wrote this an hour ago.

Personal insight to myself: Our home houses my first and second most favorite place on Earth. And it’s because of the attention to detail we employ to make our living space feel like a vacation escape, every day, all day.
