Walt Disney: What ever you do, do it well….

Last week part of my family and I were in Florida to enjoy warm weather, visit my parents and visit a couple of the Disney Parks.

If any of you have been to the Disney Parks you know they go the extra mile to make your experience pleasant.  Britton and Grant had their birthdays while we were there.  My brother got them “Happy Birthday” buttons and the little boys “My First Visit” buttons from customer relations.  Lots of Disney staff wished them happy birthday and talked the the little boys about their visit.  The workers were very friendly and acted like they truly enjoyed their job.

Disney workers were constantly picking up trash and cleaning.  All the bathrooms I went In to were clean and we went into lots of bathrooms with toddlers!

Did you know that any food kiosk will give you a free glass of ice water if you ask?  They do it with a smile on their face even if you don’t buy any food!

Can you imagine what little kids would think if they saw Donald, Pluto or any of the other characters pass their replacement for breaks?  You mean their is more than one Mickey?  Someone has orchestrated that fine detail so as not to crush some child’s perception.

Walt Disney had a saying:

do it well disney

I was reminded of what Paul wrote in Colossians 3:17, “Let every detail of your lives–words, actions, whatever-be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. ” MSG  King Solomon also wrote, “Whatever you do, do well…”Ecc. 9:10

Walt Disney wanted his parks to be done well so people would want to come back.  Everone who works at Disney respresents Disney.  Those of us that are followers of Jesus should want to do everything in our lives with excellance because we represent God to the world.

Whatever you do, do it well!

On the journey,

Trish
