As I sit here working* in a borrowed office in the belly of DCE (the live entertainment production arm of Walt Disney Imagineering), I’m left to think about my absolute Disney geekdom.

I normally keep it pretty understated. I work with/near/around many executive level types, so it’s important that my discretion is never in question. Sometimes Disney geeks who end up working for the company are the first to blab any inside information they come across. This is maddening to me for several reasons… but mostly because it totally kills the magic and suspense of the final reveal of whatever the new project is. But I digress…

I’m sitting here just across the street from the very building the Walt commissioned for his private playground of geniuses. Since those days the area has grown up a lot. A person can’t swing an arm near Flower Street in Glendale without hitting a Disney owned facility. Imagineering, ABC 7 Studio, DCE, Feature Animation… it’s just cool. Some serious stuff is developed here, and the payoff, the magic, gets realized out in the world.

I’m just in my hog heaven here, doing what I’m doing. And I’ll surely stop by Mickey’s of Glendale before heading home!

* I am actually working… just taking a little break to blog while I wait for a meeting
