This just further illustrates to me how much effort and care Disney puts into every single thing they do. How they do it, I don't know. To have passionate people put hours and hours of work into even making topiaries is crazy. And he clearly loved what he was doing, and was prideful about his topiaries being in the front of the park. And that's the power that they have as a company. With name, and money they can get the top people in any industry to work for them. Also, please hire me someday.
So, I'm going to Disneyland this summer, and I literally dream about Disney almost every night in one form or another, sort of like looming over. the whole place is sort of like this historical dreamland for me. I love the history and behind the scenes of Disney. I have read numerous books and subscribe to podcasts about the making of Disney. The park and what they do are really that iconic to me, and I literally can't get them out of my head, as the end all be all, perhaps both career wise, and vacation wise.
I love this! One of the things Disney does best is incredible attention to detail, and this is a great example of that. I remember working on the topiaries for Much Ado, which were *fake* and took forever. I can't imagine how intense and long a process like this would be when planting live shrubbery and flowers. The whole installation is amazing in that way. I love the way the speaker says that when they go back to Walt Disney's original ideas, that is when things are most successful. That is one of my biggest worries for the Disney Parks, that at some point the new executives will stray so far from Walt's original thinking that they completely erase him. So to see such a wonderful entrance to the flower and garden festival is really refreshing. I like also that they function a little bit like we do, ending one installation and already thinking about the one for next season. It's nice to get a look into that process in a different industry.
