About Bruce Berglind

Bruce’s first visit to Walt Disney World was in its first year. During 36 subsequent visits and study from afar he has observed the World grow and evolve. Despite a handful of visits to Disneyland, WDW remains his passion. He is a DVC and D23 member, and a Disney Institute alumni. Bruce owns a small company in Kansas where both Disney themes and management concepts reign supreme. Bruce, his wife Kathy, and their three children are all enthusiasts –of the Disney Parks, movies, history, trivia, and of course the magic. Speaking of which, Bruce met Kathy on a blind date while at a conference at the WDW Coronado Springs Resort.
