Bob is also doing what every Disney fan dreams about. He is building his own theme park. With story telling at the center of Bob’s park, Whirligig Woods, is set on 21 acres in North Carolina. The park is not for the masses, but a smaller themed environment for families to come and enjoy a day in the natural setting with themed simple attractions.

There might be just one tree house to start but Bob has plans reaching out ten years to grow Whirligig Woods for generations to come.

I have been interested in Disney and working for them for years. I have such passion and love for Disney and have always dreamed of creating or helping create the magic for Disney. I have a great idea but no one who I can talk to about it. I will not quit, as this is my dream. IF anyone can help, lease just give me a chance. Great interview by the way!
