Captiva Day 1, mind

Christmas gift baskets
Cheryl got a second basket yesterday and off they go to Walt Disney World’s great Cast Members.

Goal today is to depart home by 10:00 AM for Captiva Island.

Disney teamwork, mind

Cheryl is an excellent organizer. Yesterday mid-morning, she created an assembly line so we could make 40 Christmas goodie-bags for Chapin’s team at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Disney teamwork has new meaning now that Chapin is a Cast Member.

The things Cheryl and i fuss over is slowly making sense to him in a way that non-Disney Cast members never get first-hand, backstage indoctrination.

Love it upside-down

Walking home from Walgreens. This photo is me checking to ensure the half-zipper (the max the contents allow) is still holding tight.

Christmas 2025 will always be remembered as the earliest my “Santa’s workshop” opened in my office closet.

Feels like good progress.

Ambitious to transform my 2026 Christmas prep to excellent progress.

2024’s final week, mind

Mickey Mouse and Jeff Noel at Disney Institute
Mickey just told me he and Minnie have never had Christmas week off.

Have had the past decade of Christmas weeks off.

Ten straight years.

The full week from Christmas Eve to New Years Day.

Off.

Why?

Started a business in 2009. Then retired from Walt Disney World in 2014.

It could be worse

December 24, 2024.

Christmas is glorious for some, painful for some, and a non-event for some.

It’s helpful to not only remember this at Christmas but every day of the year.

A well established growth mindset is a glorious gift you give yourself.
