How Does Disney Do That?

It is always a pleasure meeting people that can give more insights into the secrets behind those jaw-dropping Disney experiences we all know and love. That is why I couldn't be more appreciative for the conversation with Theron Skees, a former Imagineer, and James Warda, an emotional storyteller and author. They teamed up to co-author a fascinating new book, "How Does Disney Do That," which dives deep into the stories and feelings that connect us to Disney moments. 

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation that are sure to pique your interest:

  • The Power of Emotional Connection: James and Theron emphasize the significance of the emotional ties that guests form with Disney attractions. Understanding these feelings helps make their designs even more impactful.
  • Storytelling as a Tool for Connection: The book is structured as a conversation, featuring stories from fans, designers, and cast members. This not only validates the reader's own experience but also invites them into a larger community of shared emotional journeys.
  • The Role of Feedback and Collaboration: Theron discusses how vital it is for Imagineers to listen to guest feedback and collaborate closely with Disney leadership to create memorable experiences. This principle can be applied to any business that aims to truly understand and meet its customers' needs.

This is such a wonderful conversation about storytelling, connection, and making guests feel truly special. Take a listen to episode 320, "How Does Disney Do That?", if you are ready to be transported to the magic of Disney. Make sure  to use the code DISNEYSHIPFREE when you check out after ordering the book at the following link: https://rivershorepress.com/store/how-does-disney-do-that . Along with the book, you'll get a free bookmark.

"Find lessons in everything. Even when you're down for the count for 8 weeks, it's alright. Figure out what you learned during that time and write it down."

Eight Things I Learned Taking Eight Weeks Off

As you may or may not know, I had to take an 8-week break recently due to a medical issue. During this time, I learned quite a few important lessons that I'd love to share with you. During this episode I share eight things I learned taking eight weeks off and why I believe these lessons can benefit everyone.

A sneak peek into the 8 lessons I share:

1. Prioritize What Matters

2. Cherish Those Who Reach Out

3. Stay Productive in Different Ways

4. Adapt to a Fast-Moving World

5. Systems Can Save You

6. It's Okay to Share

7. It's Also Okay to Keep It Private

8. Find Lessons Everywhere

In every situation, even difficult ones, there's something to be learned. Take the time to reflect and write them down. Every experience, good or bad, can teach you something and contribute to your personal and professional growth. When you document those lessons, they can become powerful stories and insights later for you and those around you.

To hear more on each of these lessons, make sure to listen to Episode 319 of the Jody Maberry Show. Thank you for your support and understanding during my time off. I'm looking forward to getting back to our regular schedule and continuing to share more stories and lessons with you all.
