Well I don’t know where to start. Today I am now officially a quarter century old. Yep, Webby has turned 25. Sorta scary but sorta cool at the same time. It is also my golden birthday! How cool is that? What else is cool is that I start this new year in my life with a new role here at Walt Disney World!
Effective today, I am now a member of the elite Dream Squad. I will be joining the team at the Magic Kingdom, yes I know I don’t seem to travel too far away from there. As a Dream Squad Cast Member, I will be a representative for the Walt Disney Company and official prize fulfiller for the Year of a Million Dreams at Disney Park’s Disney Dreams Giveaway. For more Information, visit www.disneyparks.com.
Tonight it’s off to the Alehouse for another fun filled birthday night. If you are in the area, stop in. Till then, I’m out.
Please feel free to bring any guests. My one request is that for those that do come, please, no gifts. This is meant to be a night to hang out with friends and just have a good time.
For those that remember, I have always had a love for the Space Program and the Shuttle. From visiting Kennedy Space Center as a child to going to Space Camp I really have always loved space. One thing that Florida has other than theme parks is the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Shuttle Launch Complex. Now, I have not been to Kennedy Space Center or the East Coast of Florida since I was a kid but I still watch the Space Shuttle launch either at work or at home.
This launch was different because while I was watching the launch live on HDNet on TV, I happened to look out the window and caught this:
Space Shuttle Atlantis Ascends to the heavens. June 8, 2007
I think it is truly amazing when one thinks about the true power and engineering marvel that the Space Shuttle has. It will be exciting to see what comes next. Till then, bring on the launches. How about next launch in July we head to the cape to watch?? Anyone interested?
Since I have been getting a lot of questions lately about the rumors of me leaving Main Street Operations, Here is the e-mail that I sent out to the Main Street Operations Team:
When asked about WED Enterprises, Walt Disney said, “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” There are times in our lives that we need to make a move in order to keep ourselves motivated to keep moving on our careers.
I wanted to send out an e-mail to inform everyone that my last day with Main Street Ops will be Thursday, June 21. I have accepted an assignment with the Dream Squad here at the Magic Kingdom and will begin there on Sunday, June 24. I am still in the process of interviewing for a coordinator position with Walt Disney World Ticketing and have not given up my passion towards that side of our business.
My time on Main Street has been a great learning experience and one that is filled with lots of great memories and friends. It has been an honor to be a part of this team and I look forward to working with everyone again in the future. Thank you again.
It’s been about 10 years since Apple Computer dared us to Think Different. I think that those that are Mac users such as my myself tend to really Think Different. I was reading my usual morning reads in Google Reader and I noticed that the team at The Unofficial Apple Weblog had stumbled across this interesting video on YouTube. Apparently, some Apple fan boys had taken the original Think Different commercial and removed the video portion and replaced it with moving text. I think that with the text only, it is just as moving. Anyone else have any thoughts? Feel free to comment.
I can’t wait to go back to Disneyland and ride one of my favorite rides as a kid, again. After 10+ years, the Subs are finally coming back. Look for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage coming soon to the Disneyland Resort, the place where dreams come true. Too bad we got rid of them here. Just another excuse for me to go back to California.
