I'm glad you found it helpful. Be sure to check out my colleague Michael Long's section on his site (http://www.redrecruiting.com/disney-institute/) devoted to our collective coverage of the event. Best of luck with your paper. @Kiva Elliott – Of course! I’m glad you found it helpful.

I am a graduate student and I am doing a research paper on the Disney Institute and their adult learning methods and I have had a difficult time finding someone that actually attended a program. Will it be possible to quote you in my paper? Mark, This is fabulous!

Although I was a paying participant, your insights and thoughts coincide greatly with mine. I hope people came away with ideas they can implement at their organizations. Given the variety of people who could attend an open enrollment program, I was pleasantly surprised that our group was comprised of such similar skills and experience levels. The facilitators were the absolute cream of the crop, and it was worthwhile being around people who have a true passion for their work. All the best to you and Yasha! Mark,

We truly enjoyed spending time with you and our fellow blogging crew. It was terrific. :) @linda farley - Great question Linda. A very simplistic example is the quality of the materials themselves. There was little to no creative thought put into how the information was conveyed on the written page. This surprised me given the innovation of the organization. Another thing to keep in mind is that I am probably not the target audience for this particular course. Thanks for your thoughts! @michael vandervort – Thanks for the comment Mike.

Can you elaborate? What, specifically, would have satisfied your expectation? What an incredible experience. Thank you sharing it in such a concise way.

THe opportunity to with you and Michael and Alicia and Yasha as part of this first social media/HR consulting team in conjunction with Disney was really amazing. I have yet to fully find the words to describe how much I admire the courage of the leadership at the Disney Institute, both for undertaking the initative, and for giving us their full attention. It was remarkable. I too am very interested in seeing what next steps are taken. They got a lot of good ideas from our group for the cost of a free seat and a few nights at the park! Hi Mark,
