I was recently at Disney World and made some observations:
1. NO BUGS.
Even though it's basically surrounded by swamp, everything Disney is bug-free. No mosquitos.
And you'd think from the thousands of melting Mickey Mouse ice cream bars in trash cans everyday that there would be flies. Nope. I checked.
Its the absence of distractions that enhances the guest's focus on the main thing. Undistracting Excellence - what a concept!
2. LARGEST NAVY.
Water separates all the Disney parks, making boats essential for safety and transportation of guests. When the park was being developed 40 years ago, did Old Man Disney settle for a measely fleet of boats? Nope. He went all Tinkerbell and created the world's fourth-largest navy. Wowzers. I love that Disney strategy: Do it right and do it BIG.
3. SMALL WORLD IS SMALLER. Magic Kingdom's infamous It's A Small World ride has a unique feature as it showcases robo-kids from around the world: only two tiny American robo's.
The focus is intentionally put on the visitors experiencing things for the first time. That's right; it's not about us. Which is a great paradigm when most of your guests are from other nations.
Putting outsiders' needs ahead of insiders'.
That's how the church is supposed to be.
