Private meet and greet with Mickey Mouse

A private Mickey Mouse meet and greet is an incredible experience. Magical. Even for a room full of Disney Cast Members.

Courage or comfort, not both

Taking a few Disney toys and a pin to Kuwait (7k miles from home) is easy and scalable on every trip, everywhere.

Brene Brown is a thought leader.

She says that you must choose between courage or comfort, you can’t have both.

She’s smart, no doubt.

Yes and, going to respectfully disagree with the statement.

Why?

While not an intellectual, at 60, coupled with deep and broad Disney experience and especially the Disney Institute leadership expertise, i’ll go up against anyone on personal and organizational vibrancy.

Any. One.

Any. Where.

Any. Time.

Why disagree with Brene’s claim?

Because i have both courage and comfort.

At 60, this is a reality.

So how can i be wrong?

Perhaps what Brene implies is that she cannot have both.

Then, what she says is worth wondering why she doesn’t have courage and comfort and why i do.

Not gifted, and as (formerly) insecure as the next person, yet my life’s work has put me in this position to speak authoritatively.

Weird to say it, but at the end of the day, how is what i have to say anything but true?

The beauty of 60 is that i believe we are both right.

Also at 60, i am certain that we, meaning anyone, believe what we want to believe.

If i were you, i’d believe better choices are available.

For example, courage and comfort.

Highly discouraged

Disney’s Hollywood Studios motorcycle parking. Yesterday.

Security Officer Greg (22 years of service) and Brian (parking/security leader at Epcot) clarified that while bicycling on property is strongly discouraged, it is legal to do so.

My only “legal” requirement is to avoid “Authorized Vehicles Only” (AVO) roads with the main exception being the North property exit passing Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa or passing Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

These two northbound exits have AVO signs which do not apply to their official request.

In our closing conversations, and at our mutually agreeable verbal clarification – around 9:30AM in the Epcot Guest parking lot (near “handicapped” parking) – i am free to ride Northbound past either The Contemporary or Grand Floridian unto AVO roads in order to exit by Disney University. Photo below is one of those AVO roads.
