Disney - The Logistics

One more post about Disney before I let it go. As I've already stated, it is super interesting to look at Disney through an adult's eyes.

After the business side of things, the next most interesting has got to be the logistics of the place. I don't know who and how many, but the peeps running the show do an awesome job. From the peeps that pick up garbage on the "streets" of Disney World to the indivduals working behind the counters at restaurants and stores to the people maintaining order in the park, it's astounding to me how well the machine runs...a joy to observe.

It's even more amazing when you look at this in the aggregate...it's not just one park (like the Magic Kingdom or ECPOT), it's multiple parks, multiple lodging choices, multiple transportation options (I still think the monorails are the coolest things going, even after my 20 year layoff from Disney), multiple meal choices, all working together as one.

If you happen to be at Disney any time in the near future, take a few minutes (or longer if you want) to watch the machine work.
