Remembering January 25, 1982

1988 Disney Traditions Facilitator team. Jungle Jeff far left, standing row. Disney University behind us. There’s a story about this opportunity that was interrupted by a promotion from hourly Disney Cast Member to salaried Disney Leader.

Remembering January 25, 1982.

The original intent was simply to ‘pad’ my resume with a name that would counter balance the limited and unremarkable work experience on my resume. Disney seemed like a perfect name to add.

Who knew it would transform our – Cheryl and me – lives?

No one.

A little riff about being in a few places at the same time.

As i write this, good morning from November 25, 2019, a Monday. It’s January 25, 2020 as this post publishes – Happy Saturday.

And, Happy January 25, 1982. It was a Monday and my day began in a Disney University classroom learning Disney Traditions, at the time a three-day Disney new-hire orientation.

First day as an official hire.

CT – Casual Temporary (Disney-speak for seasonal part time Cast Member).
