Dream, create, inspire… like you mean it

Walt Disney quote on Disney's Animal Kingdom wall

 

(photo: Yesterday while visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park for lunch.)

Is your mind small or big?

We walked past about one dozen Walt Disney quote signs. Took a photo of every one.

This is the one that meant the most yesterday.

And it’s the one that means the most as a retiree.

Mid Life Celebration is destroying the notion that balance is a myth.

Don’t believe it?

Many didn’t believe Walt in the early years either.

Doubt and skepticism come from small minds.

Vision and confidence come from dreaming, creating, and inspiring.

Is this as real as it gets?

Some Cast Members have jobs that are ridiculously fulfilling. Three more days until Halloween.

Today’s class departs Disney’s Yacht Club Convention Center at 7:15am and makes a bee line to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park.

On the agenda, a walk down Main Street USA and a tour of the Tunnel system down below.

A fitting last day as a Disney teacher.

There is no luck, only hard work.

The opportunity to hop on a Disney Cruise Line bus and escort 50 business travelers backstage happened yesterday, will happen again today, and one final time tomorrow.

  • Epcot Cast Services Building
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park
  • Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park

It’s been a great run.

Buy low, sell high

Disney Stock split history

 

(photo: Disney stock split history, last split was 3-for-1 in 1998 when it had reached $111)

One of the first priorities beginning the day after retirement is making a one-time, penalty-free 401k withdrawal.

Disney stock has been as high as $91 this year.

It went down to $81 just a week ago.

Timing, and courage, are of the essence.

The stock market is doing well, but terrorists could change that in a single day.
