Thank you Roy

27-second video: How far do you have to travel to get to your favorite place in the whole world?

A wonderful sense of community awaits, where all are greeted as welcome Guests and become cherished friends. For all who work and play here, Walt Disney World® Resort will be a source of joy and inspiration.

Roy Disney, October 25, 1971

Roy came out of retirement after his younger brother’s 1966 death. Roy could have simply dumped the (swamp) land. We bought it (27,443 acres/43 square miles) cheap. We could sell it cheap. Walt was so crazy to believe we could create the vacation capital of the world in the middle of alligator, snake, and mosquito-infested swampland. Roy knew better. So did everyone else. Ain’t no way, too big a reach. Yet here we are.

Raise the bar on everything

20-second video: Walt wanted the bird to breathe even though 99.9% of our Guests never notice.

Upper right corner. Heading home.

If Disney ran your life you will have to raise the bar to the highest level. For everything.

Do life’s reps

8-second video: Earlier on the Disney Boat, asked the Cast Member if he sees an American Bald Eagle every day. He said yes. Here’s one on the walk from Disney University.

Sitting in our favorite place on the planet. Left our fav place to walk to and through our (three-way tie) third fav place, Walt Disney World. That’s a 13.5-mile hike on vacation.

My life’s rock-solid foundation is built on the basics: vibrant habits for all five of life’s big choices.

Happy present moment

11-second video: Take your time (to figure out life) but don’t wait.

i am always busy, but never in a hurry. Sometimes, i’m busy doing nothing.

Life’s starting line

16-second video: We have progressed far from the original starting line – a small one-bedroom, roach-infested apartment in an unsafe part of town.

You are rich when what you have is more than you need; more than you could have ever dreamt.
