Commitment is the final Disney Leadership blueprint.

What does that mean?

It means making your 30th and final year at Disney (or anywhere) as amazing as your first, honeymoon-year.

Note: My final, and 30th, year was the best year ever in my Disney career. #truth

2024’s final week, home

Bob Iger and Jeff Noel from 2005 at Disney Resort — Bob met with Disney’s Board of Directors at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. i met with several dozen global business leaders to teach them Disney’s Business behind the Magic, also at ‘The Grand’.

Marty Sklar and Jeff Noel at Disney Resort — Marty Sklar needed a Disney Institute (DI) handler for his Walt Disney World Keynote. DI leadership picked me. In a story for another time, i didn’t feel i had time in my Disney schedule to do it for two days.

The Disney leaders i learned from are broad and often times deep.

This is an exceptional opportunity only a large, world-class company affords.

Grateful.

Merry Christmas, dude.

Walt Disney World's Eyes and Ears — Can’t fathom being there on the first anniversary. Wait, yes i can.

Who am i being that others do not see incredible possibility?

Fifty-two years of Walt Disney World Magic.

October 1, 1971.

Yesterday was the anniversary.

Intentionally waited.

Why?

Because few remember.

Fewer still, care.

And there’s FOMO.

If you don’t act smart on the specific day odds are you’ll miss your opportunity to look smart – a fan-boy as they say.

Seeing the Magic Kingdom fireworks nightly (year after year) is my thought.

You can’t live less than a mile from WDW and have 66 combined years of service under your roof and not know what yesterday is.
