Each year Walt Disney World Resort recognizes nonprofit organizations that are bringing joy, happiness, and magic to families through monetary donations called Disney Grants. Recently, the seven 2024 Disney Grants recipients were surprised with the news of a $500,000 donation at a special performance of the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Before they were surprised with the news, they started the day by attending a Disney Institute training session in our immersive learning space at Disney's Contemporary Resort. The session provided insights around the power of intentionality and delivering exceptional service experiences. Upon completion of the session, participants earned their ears during a graduation ceremony. Congratulations to the 2024 Disney Grant recipients! We are grateful for all of the work you do in our community.

Last week, Disney Institute was invited by our friends at Disney Imagination Campus to be part of this year's ScIC Science is Cool by PocketLab at Epcot. This amazing daylong virtual event provided a packed agenda for K-12 educators from across the country and around the world, and we were thrilled to provide Walt Disney World as the backdrop. In conversation with Dave Bakker, I shared some thoughts around the concept of 'leadership' and how we here at Disney think about it - and how we define it very broadly. We also talked about classrooms being organizations in their own right, what that means for teachers as leaders, and what some simple yet powerful tools are for value-driven leadership. Of course, we had Mickey Mouse stop by to provide his support and to commemorate the moment with a special statue. Thank you to all the teachers and educators out there. You make a difference every day! #DisneyInstitute #LearnFromDisney #ProfessionalDevelopment #Leadership
