Four years ago today

Exactly four years ago today, I was passing bright orange Asplundh trunks on I-95 on my way to Walt Disney World Resort to begin the College Program. Hurricane Charlie, the first of four hurricanes to strike Florida in 2004, had just passed through Orlando two days before my arrival.


Since then I have met people from all over the world and become the closest of friends with many of them. I have had the privilege to work with some of the brightest and most talented people I know. And I have had the chance to travel to some pretty sweet places.

Looking back, I was taking a little bit of a gamble by moving down here. And if I had to do it all over, I wouldn't hesitate to roll the dice again.


UPDATE: Speaking of hurricanes, Fay's almost here. And she's projected to take a path eerily similar to 'Ol Charlie. Oh the irony.

Celebration, FL - The Town that Disney Built

A friend sent me this Current TV segment recently featuring the town that I live in: Celebration, FL. It was one of the first master planned communities in the U.S., but certainly has something that sets it apart.

Enjoy.



Thanks to Megan for sharing!

Great Movie Ride. Those three words mean many different things to different people. Perhaps you have no idea what I'm talking about...that's okay. Those of you that do, know that I'm referring to the Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

For me, it invokes memories from a couple of fun months working as a guide on a storied attraction at Walt Disney World Resort. I enjoyed my two months and then moved on, but once a Rider always a Rider.

That's why I wanted to share this post from the Disney and More blog that is about the Imagineering that went into designing the great ride now hidden by the hat.

Enjoy.
