From the Disney University Parking Lot
During Molly's "onboarding" (which I was priveleged to sit through and help her with her W4, etc.) after she was hired, the nice Venezuelan girl (Rosa) was very clear about them needing to show up 15 <stage whisper 30> minutes early for their Traditions class at Disney U on their first day.
One minute late and they would be sent home and would then need to call their recruiter (ONCE), leave a message and wait (up to 3 DAYS) for a return phone call to be rescheduled for their Traditions class (up to 3 WEEKS hence). So, I had Molly call me at 5:00 this morning when she got up (had my alarm set for 5:15 so I could call her if she hadn't called by then). All went as planned, and these are some of the first txt messages we got from her when she arrived. I'm so proud... Quote:

There's a reason Disney is Disney. It's not by accident that the guest experience there is what it is.
Anybody who's used to what they get at WDW is generally appalled at the behavior and appearance of the employees at Universal, etc. I truly believe that Molly will positively thrive there.

They actually have a full stable of customer service consultants which offer training in the Disney philosophy of knowing your customers. I was privileged to experience one of their seminars through a previous employer. It was AMAZING to hear them describe the lengths to which they go to provide the Disney experience. AND, I'm not even a huge Disney fan -- BUT, they know their stuff and they deliver more than their customers expect in most cases. |

About 10 or 12 years ago we did the Disney cruise... It was amazing and the service was astounding... My wife and i were wondering what drugs they gave their people. Even the poor shlub that was power washing the side of the ship while we were docked at their island was happy and cheery... Almost to the point of being creepy. If we ever decided to do another cruise...It would be Disney, even without kids.

I would not hesitate. Mega, IMHO, for this one action alone, you have gone from "Really Cool Guy" status, to "Superhero Level Dad" in one fell swoop. I envy you, this opportunity. My hat is off to you Sir.

I have boys... when they left they house it was like.. "Love ya dad, don't worry, I got this".... and that was it. They are both doing great, and one of those little assholes makes more money than I do...

Not as far as I'm concerned. My son, who is a nuclear reactor operator on the USS Harry S Truman, still calls me several times a week, or I call him. I was there to watch him graduate from Navy boot camp. I was there to watch him graduate from nuclear power school. I have always told him that I had his back, no matter what. Our conversations always end with, "I love you".
When I signed on to being a parent, it was a lifetime commitment...

Plus, you know, people don't expect folks to want to come back next year to vacation with the Marines.
