“I believe I am not smart” – a comment shared with me and unfortunately a belief that many have about themselves.
This video is challenging that programming and encouraging you to pursue your dreams and desires.
Happy Birthday to my little cousin Bernice! Always remember to know your value and life will take care of you as you go along this beautiful journey.

Many continue to question what is the purpose of life. For some, they actually take their own life because they can't answer that question.
Energy will always take the path of least resistance just like lightning does.
People will always take the simplest, easiest path UNLESS you learn to redirect your energy.
If you do nothing, your life will follow a path that wasn’t a choice you made. If you interfere with the path and push to a different direction, you can choose your life.
Choose your path.
When Pixar Pier opens this summer, the colorful worlds of Pixar will get a new home at Disney California Adventure park, offering an exciting mix of entertainment, themed food and beverage, merchandise and attractions.
Guests will find themselves immersed in four whimsical neighborhoods inspired by beloved Pixar stories—including “The Incredibles,” “Inside Out” and “Toy Story.” As we’ve noted previously, the fourth neighborhood will be a celebration of many of your favorite Pixar stories. The focal point of this neighborhood will be the Pixar Pal-A-Round!
This reimagining of a guest favorite will still include the iconic face of Mickey Mouse on the Paradise Bay side of the wheel. However, each of the 24 gondolas will feature different pairs of Pixar pals, including Joy and Sadness from “Inside Out,” Lightning McQueen and Mater from “Cars,” and Miguel and Hector from “Coco.”
When the Pixar Pal-A-Round opens this summer, the attraction will offer breathtaking views of Pixar Pier and beyond!
After reading so much recently about the employment experience of Disneyland Resort cast members, I wanted to share my story. The specifics are unique to me, but the broader point is true for so many of us — working at Disney is a unique opportunity.
I’m currently a production manager in attractions, but this was not part of my plan when I started 12 years ago. This was a summer job, and that’s where my story begins.
Upon graduating college in Northern California, I moved to Orange County ready to put my degree to use, and hired into Disneyland while looking for jobs that would set me on my desired career path. I chose Disneyland because of my fond childhood memories. When I started, I quickly realized I could pad my paycheck by volunteering to work longer shifts, and even extra days if I wanted. That flexibility was helping me pay back my student loan quicker than I had anticipated. Were there long days? Did I skip events with friends that I would have loved to attend? Absolutely. But I genuinely loved my job. I was getting much more than a paycheck at Disneyland. I was putting smiles on people’s faces all day. I was learning invaluable skills and had access to people and resources that were helping me grow as an individual. As summer turned to fall, I didn’t want to leave.
I continued putting in the time, working hard, learning from those around me, and eventually became a working lead, supervising retail stores. I made great friends during that time who are now life-long companions. We all loved what we were doing and were always looking for opportunities to grow and advance in the company. From classes at the Disney University to roles in other areas of the resort, we knew our career options with Disney were vast. I ultimately landed a role with the resort’s internal communications team, while a few of my other friends moved on to positions in guest relations — and one would eventually work for Marvel. To top it all off, it was in this role that I met a beautiful cast member who I’m now lucky enough to call my wife.
As I continued my Disney journey, I took advantage of the company’s college reimbursement program to further my education, earning an MBA from Chapman University that I would never have been able to afford on my own. I also went through Disney’s leader training, where I expanded and strengthened my leadership skills. Now that Disney had helped arm me with my MBA and additional development as a leader, I returned to a role in the park as a manager in attractions, where I was able to help other cast members find their way at the resort just as so many had helped me.
I’ve heard the stories from cast about coming to work here from far away because this is a special place, and making sacrifices in time, distance or living situations because they love their jobs. They want to be a part of the magic just like I did. I take great pride in relating to their stories and sharing my own journey, so they know there’s a path, there are resources and there are people to help get them where they want to be.
I love my job … I am in charge of Peter Pan’s Flight! I have worked very hard over the last 12 years and Disney has given me so much more than I could have ever imagined. Did I mention I have the best wife ever? Thanks, Disneyland.
Michael Estes is attractions north production manager at Disneyland Resort.
I'am truly thankful and blessed that I have been on this beautiful universe for 24 years today. I thank all the people that molded me to be who I'am today. I remind myself every single day that the greatest of a man is not how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
I open my eyes every morning knowing that I have another day to contribute to this world and contribute to others however I can. I'am thankful for being here, I'am thankful for life, and I’am thankful for you.
Thank you everyone for all the b-day wishes, and I love y'all!

Oh boy! What a year!
Definitely a year that I will never forget. There was a lot of things that happened this year that for sure tested on how strong of a mindset I have. But in the end, I’m content, because that’s the only thing you can do is move on from it and also enjoy the learning process.
See, we don’t have a thousand years to live here on this planet, so just keep enjoying this journey that we call “life.”
Always remember to make it a habit to tell people, “thank you.” To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you will soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you will find that you have more of it.
HAPPY NYE EVERYONE!
Love y’all,
