Having touched on 2023 last week in review, let’s see what 2024 has in store. It’s going to be a unique year, and I don’t think with new attractions/offerings being announced just last week, that even we have seen all that will still come to guests in this upcoming calendar year. Still, we’ll share what we know as we go across Disney parks worldwide to see what’s happening with over 30 new attractions and offerings. Join us as we overview all that is coming–or that we know is coming–in 2024!

A Century of Powerful Disney Insights Book

You can order my newest book, “A Century of Powerful Disney Insights” on Amazon. It’s a great way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. In over 100 years, The Walt Disney Company has emerged as one of the most successful entertainment entities across the globe. In this, the first of two volumes, we study the first 50 years of Disney, beginning with Walt and Roy. We look at major milestones and not only see the evolution of an organization begun in a garage, but how it truly became so beloved to millions around the world. From Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse through Snow White and Cinderella, from the Mouseketeers to Mary Poppins, and from Disneyland to Walt Disney World, we share stories and insights from 1923 to 1973. We hope you’ll be inspired with ideas and how you can apply these stories to your own life and work.
