It’s easy to forget that Disney is run by normal human beings

A favorite hidden Mickey after lunch yesterday.

 

It’s easy to forget that normal human beings run Disney. The type of human beings found everywhere. Human beings who like to work hard and play hard. Try to find an organization where this isn’t true. Disney is no different.

Walt said that what we do is very serious business, but we should never take ourselves too seriously.

Business executives who admire Disney and wish to create their own brand of consumer Magic can find hope in the fact that it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

Disney over manages details others either under manage or ignore completely.

Pagan worshipers?

Disney has both employee and customer advocates.

(and yes, i know all about Cast Members and Guests)

Not only advocates, but well past that to a cult-like worshipping.

i’m pretty familiar with that too.

Walt Disney was an American, with deep American values

Disney customer service speaker
It all started with a Mouse.

 

Walter Elias Disney was an American, with deep American values.

In 30 years at Disney, i never herd anyone talk about Walt’s spiritual beliefs.

Looking back, that seems absurd, because it was such an important aspect of his life. Maybe even the most important.

His father, Elias, named him after their Pastor.

Why not me?

Disney World Guests
jeff, Teresa, “Mom”, Brian

 

Brian, a former Marine, and his wife Teresa have four grown children. They are visiting Family near Walt Disney World. We’ve known each other for 25 years. It was the first time meeting Brian’s step Mom.

During our leisurely lunch at Columbia Harbour House, we talked freely and abundantly about God and our infinite blessings.

Brian’s Mom shared how her husband died of cancer, and this led to a story about her overhearing a recently diagnosed cancer patient frustratedly asking aloud, “Why is God doing this to me?”

Just then, another woman (without cancer but who knew it well) said, “Why not me? Who am I that I should be spared from cancer?”

What is hidden in the post is the reality that amazing things happen all day, everyday. Do we see them as that?

To the visitors, everything seems so amazing. To locals, just another day in paradise. After the downtown Orlando meeting, made a beeline to Downtown Disney to catch the Spring Grove Area High School (Alma Mater) Orchestra, Band, and Choir in three separate performances. Ally, carrying blue jacket, did all three – a musical “triathlete”.
