In a nutshell

  1. Every day is showtime. Apparently, there are people who work remotely at Disneyland.
  2. Can you really get work done? I made a list of what you need to work "at" Disney, and I couldn't find any of it.
  3. The reason I'm so obsessed with Disney right now is because I can learn from their ingenuity.


Remote work at Disney??


Reiwa Hackers. I wanted to make this project a series, but there weren't as many hackers who could master the tools as I thought, and I was about to end the project without anyone knowing.


By the way, last time, I featured hackers who do Uber Eats on rental bicycles. The more I researched, the more I thought, "I see," and it was a great learning experience. 【Uber Eats】Reiwa Hackers - Uber Eats Edition -


Meanwhile, it seems that there are people who work at Disney recently.


Not as a Disney cast member, but there are some brave souls who buy an annual pass to Disney and use it as an office.

I don't know what kind of profession this person has, but someone recently had their wedding at a Disney hotel, and I was starting to get a little interested in the world of Disney, so I just thought, "That's nice." Isn't it the best to have a parade every day?


As an engineer, I looked into what is necessary to work at Disney.



The things an engineer needs to work at Disney are not available


I listed the things an engineer needs to work at Disney.


  • Wifi
  • Power for Mac
  • Noise-canceling earphones or earmuffs

I realized after listing them. You don't need almost anything. You can manage with the existing mobile line or rental wifi for wifi, and for noise-canceling, you can bring your Airpods, or if you want to soak up the Disney atmosphere to the fullest, you don't even need them at worst. What a hands-free profession. But there is one very difficult problem.


Yes. Power. Is there really an outlet? Can I use it? So I looked into it.


To conclude, there wasn't one. There are some in the cafes around Maihama Station. At Disneyland, there are only chargers for smartphones. I wonder why. When I think about it, Disneyland is well-designed. That's right, they don't show you outlets in the cafes. Because it would bring you back to reality from the dream world.



The reason I'm so obsessed with Disney right now is because I can learn from their ingenuity.


By the way, why is gonjitti so obsessed with using Disney as an office? It's because I can learn from Disney's ingenuity.


First, there is the ingenuity of upselling. There are no outlets at Disney. But you wait a lot for the attractions at Disney, and your battery usually doesn't last a whole day. For that reason, they sell chargers at the shops in the park, but they are at the same price as at a convenience store.


Next, Disney makes it easy to create secrets, and it has a solid mechanism to get you hooked. Do you know about Hidden Mickeys? In fact, there are a lot of famous Mickey marks in the theme park (and they are still increasing), and it is popular among fans to collect Mickeys. This is a mechanism to make you go to Disney continuously.


Also, there is a special touch to the sale of popcorn. You can usually buy popcorn at the stalls in the park, but the salt, honey, and barbecue flavored popcorn can only be purchased at one popcorn stand each. It is a completion mechanism.


Next, the secret of the scenery at Disneyland. You will probably notice it if you go and take pictures, but do you know that it is designed so that structures that are not related to the world of Disney are never visible? No matter what angle you take a picture from, you will not see any unrelated buildings or trains.


Also, Cinderella's Castle at Disneyland skillfully uses perspective to make it appear farther away than it actually is. Similarly, the mountains at DisneySea also appear to be far away. This is a traditional ingenuity that comes from the design of Disneyland in Orlando, which designed the theme park using movie techniques.


There are other tricks at Disney, but gonjitti has a desire to buy an annual pass and reveal the various repeat tricks, and this is a very important perspective in business.


The necessity of fixed-point observation of a certain spot is also apparent in the episode of Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli who went to the park every morning and continued to sketch the figure of a walking girl. In order to notice ingenuity, fixed-point observation is important.




A recommended design book. It's packed with design tips that you can use forever. I use it often myself.
