    But Epcot was "boring."

    I thumbed through it and it appeared to be a fun read. I set it down and went on to get what I went there for, and now I'm kicking myself for not getting a copy for myself. I'll have to go back to Barnes & Noble.

    2. Confrontations with Eisner and Wells.
    3. Meeting with diplomats and heads of state in order to secure contracts for World Showcase pavilions.
    4. Some funny Walt stories.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Disney theme park history and backstage stories.
