Day 373 of The Disney With Sean Show started with real life arriving before sunrise.
When Shelley and I went out to the car that morning, we discovered someone had broken into it overnight and tried to steal it. Shelley stayed behind with police while I headed toward Disney carrying a lot of anger, anxiety and uncertainty about what the rest of the day would bring.
So instead of trying to force the morning, we slowed it down.
At Disney’s BoardWalk we watched the sunrise and shared a guided meditation ahead of September 11 about allowing a difficult date to arrive in its own time. Later, an extraordinarily generous WOW Fam message left me speechless and became part of a much bigger reminder: when something difficult happens, giving yourself space before reacting can leave room for the good people around you to show up too.
From there we walked through the BoardWalk, Swan and Dolphin area toward Disney’s Hollywood Studios before choosing not to enter the park and turning back toward EPCOT.
We entered EPCOT through International Gateway and let World Showcase become the rest of the morning — France, Morocco, a quiet sensory moment in Japan, Italy, Germany, China and Mexico before riding the Grand Fiesta Tour. Near the end of the show, we met longtime viewers who shared what they see in this community: kindness, grit, determination and the courage to keep showing up.
Real life was still real life inside the Disney bubble. The car still needed to be dealt with. But the person walking through Canada at the end of Day 373 was not carrying the morning the same way as the person who started it.
Thank you to the Walt Disney World Cast Members, performers, resort teams, transportation teams, security teams, custodial teams, food and beverage teams, horticulture teams and the many behind-the-scenes people who helped give us somewhere to walk, think and reset.
I Am Hear.
