We left the world of imagination at Tokyo Disney this afternoon to head back to our studio in Canada. It has been six wonderful days of discovery and learning. We have well over 2,000 pictures for future reference. What did we learn? Anything is indeed possible if we can dream it.
Wonders of Tokyo Disney
Today we continued to explore every corner of Tokyo Disney. Along the way we found some amazing and wonderful things in unexpected places. In the automobile plaza at the entrance to the Venician hotel was a gorgeous fountain. Three sea creatures, a dolphin, a sea serpent and an octopus battle while a giant tortoise looks on. It all appeared to be carved from beautiful white marble but on close inspection we found it to be sculpted concrete of the highest caliber.
In the lobby of that same hotel was a wonderful bronze sculpture of a ship
We peeked into the second story entrance to a restaurant called Magellan's and found this awesome globe as the centrepiece. Look close at the photo to get an idea of scale for it towers two stories high.
Why not in the real world?
There are tens of thousands of guests each day at Disney resorts. They pay a good deal of money for a wonderful experience. I believe we should create more of this magic in the real world. It is largely about paying attention to detail. As we walked around today three signs caught my attention. The signs weren't large and they served a humble purpose. Even so, lavish attention to detail along with a healthy dose of imagination was spent in their creation. The signs point the way to the washrooms in the area of the Pinocchio attraction. I want to make wonderfully creative signs like this every day.
