Chapter 4: Who's Slacking? Not all decisions are the same. Some are easy to fix if you mess up. Some barely matter. And some quietly affect everything that happens after. At the Transportation and Ticket Center, the biggest of these decisions is obvious: monorail or ferry? On the surface...

Thank you!

Chapter 4 — The First Gate: Transportation & Ticket Center Every system has a moment where theory becomes reality. At Walt Disney World, that moment is not Main Street U.S.A. It’s not the castle reveal. It’s not even the tapstiles. It’s the Transportation and Ticket Center. For a large...

Chapter 3: Turning the Lights On Up to this point, everything we’ve talked about lives at the system level. Attendance isn’t collapsing. Yield is working. Complexity is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Which means this isn’t a mystery anymore. The real question becomes: where...

Chapter 2: When Yield Becomes the Product Once attendance is no longer the primary goal, the system has to be redesigned around something else. At Walt Disney World, that “something else” is yield. Which basically translates to, how much value can be extracted from each guest without adding...

Section 1: Chapter 1 - The Problem Isn’t Attendance. It’s Resistance. Before anyone jumps in with “Disney is doing fine, actually,” let’s get that out of the way right now and yes, that’s true. The parks aren’t empty. The hotels aren’t ghost towns. The brand isn’t collapsing. Cinderella Castle...

Okay.... Late to the party - but let's do this! Same timeline today.

Imagineering Walt Disney World Through a Lean Six Sigma Lens A New Year’s Eve design sprint — noon to midnight This started as a thought experiment - but I decided to add a clock to make it fun. 🤣 On New Year’s Eve, I’m running this as a live, self-imposed design sprint. Twelve hours. No...

Austin Powers Franchise. Will not happen for many reasons 🤣 Watching from the sidelines this time. Good luck everyone!

And probably my favorite -

Well… it’s not art 🤣 And I’ll never market it that way. I’m working on creating a ride-through style tour of previous WDI concepts. I'm starting with Thunder Mesa and the Western River Expedition. It’s really more of a historical documentation hobby than traditional art work I usually do. Right...

This is what were getting so far with video on the caves - definitely chugging along.

Genuinely forgot about these two! VERY early days of the forum - Pre-Apprentice.

Eh, I'll throw my hat in...

And we're getting.... Closer with video. Queue the Imagineering Story audio in your head everyone. Not 100%. But Close. The goal is to do a video on the complex, canoes, resturant, and train ride. Then a full ride POV of WRE. Let's keep chugging along.

Taking a break from the ride to do some scenes from the canoe ride that would have had a rainbow caverns lift hill. Concept art via Mary Blair. AI rendered (Don't love the canoe in the first image :bored: - will probabbly go back in and blend more) This however, is money. Both...

Here's what I'll say So far through this process - Gemini is your friend. If we're talking Rockwork models, which in this case, are figures - Let me show you my journey with CoPilot. Me: Can you make this into a 3D Diorama CoPilot: - Blurbs summary response on how to make a model - Me...

Let’s make some caves!

Buckle up. We found the AA formula people!
