Town Square is such a huge wow

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
The extra inch is something i operationalized at Disney Institute. Operationalize means you make something a habit.

 

Once our Guests enter through either tunnel beneath the Walt Disney World Railroad train station, they find themselves in Town Square.

The sounds, the smells, the landscaping, the architecture, the friendly and happy Cast, all of it – a complete immersion stimulating all our senses.

By design.

We pay as much attention to what you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste as we for what you don’t see, hear, or smell.

Town Square is such a huge wow.

But, there is something missing.

You finally realize you don’t see what you expected to see – not realizing it is missing until you’ve adjusted to the wonderful space called Town Square.

Slowly separate reality from the Disney experience.

That’s the Disney Way.

Walt intentionally created a long drive off the Interstate Highway before you reached the Parking Lot Toll Plaza.

i’ll tell you more at the next blog…

Walt died before we turned the first shovel of dirt

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
One step and then another.

 

Walt died before we turned the first shovel of dirt.

People say, “It’s sad that Walt never got to see Walt Disney World.”

To which i reply, “He saw it clearer than anyone, that’s why it’s here today.”

Disney management Keynote Speaker
My career at Walt Disney World began on January 25, 1982 inside this building – Disney University.

 

Little do most Disney Cast Members know what they thought would be a fun, temporary, stepping-stone job ultimately will become a lifetime career.

Sixteen acres, then 160 acres, then 27,443

Did you know that Walt Disney’s original plan was to use 16 acres at the Disney Studios to create a sort of year-round carnival attraction?

The city council never approved the request.

Walt could have abandoned the idea, or he could have kept going.

He kept going and that led to 160 acres in Anaheim, what we now call Disneyland.

What he originally thought was plenty of land (ten times more than his first thought of using 16), also became far too little to hold all his ideas and dreams.

But he didn’t know what he didn’t know.

He became land-locked in Anaheim as all the available land got taken. This was unfortunate because Walt kept dreaming.

Walt could have accepted reality and stopped with Disneyland. It was, by all accounts, insanely popular with the American people. But no.

He quietly began purchasing 27,443 acres near Orlando.
