By chance I visited the disney websites earlier this week and I must say they are great and your post has given me a glimpse to the creative process that has gone into them.

Personally over the years, I have passed through the 3 personalities you’ve mentioned. But due to the challenges faced in my environment I’ve become fixated at the critic stage.

But thanks to articles like these, I can now start to put things in perspective and move on to greater heights. Thanks again.

I wonder if their reasonably clear understanding of how he worked made it even easier for them to create such magical stuff.

I would imagine it did. It sounds like he enjoyed surprising and challenging people by switching roles, but I’d guess their understanding of the ‘method in the madness’ would be helpful all round.

@Gabriel

The art and creativity inherent in building a business (especially one so cutting edge as Disney’s at the time) is something that is usually lost on a lot of creative professionals.

Exactemundo! Sounds like you’d get on well with Marla.

Everything from the content to the way its written. Mark can write some blog post, that’s for sure.

Walt was the man, and lets not forget about EPCOT as well. Those communities would have changed the entire world for the better had he not died.

Very good integrations and insights here.
