In Walt Disney’s mind, nothing was impossible.

Walt famously said, “It’s kinda fun to do the impossible.”

Today’s posts are photos of a small band of Resort Operations Leaders from the 1970’s through today (Jan 2025). We gathered two days ago to keep the bond, the memories, and the laughs alive.

Walt’s attitude is what made Disney a world-famous Customer Service organization.

Everyone in today’s pictures helped protect, maintain, and improve Walt Disney’s legacy for excellence.

Note: Thanks to Rick Allen, the event organizer, for capturing and sharing today’s photos. Believe it or not, i didn’t take a single photo. Intentionally.
