Cast Member Confidential: A Disneyfied Memoir par Chris Mitchell
Just awful. Seriously, the stories all seem completely fake and he's just a total cynical grouch but occasionally tries to play the "I love Disney" card. Save your money and time.
I read it out of curiosity since M will be doing Disney College Program in the fall, but this was poorly written and either fabricated or exaggerated. Not sure why I finished it. Habit I guess.
I read this book hoping to find out all of Disney's secrets, but it was pretty much an aging skater punk's memoir of how he ran away to work at DisneyWorld to avoid the reality of his mother's cancer. It was still oddly engaging. Hard to know if I believe some of the seedy stories he tells about Disney but they were entertaining none the less.
I've read a number of these "backstage memoirs" of Disney cast members, and I found this one to be one of the better ones. The story is personal, not a collection of interviews and anecdotes, and well told. The writing is more evocative and descriptive as well. This is truly a personal memoir, subject to all the quirks and biases of the author.
The backstage antics of the cast members, after reading a few of these, weren't shocking to me, but might be if this is your first book of this sort.
What struck me was the fact that after a year of working at Walt Disney World, and a pile of shocks and setbacks, the author still found a fair chunk of magic for himself and affection for the place.
I also enjoyed the fact that the author fancied himself sort of a counter-cultural individual, having been a skate-punk of sorts, and still was able to embrace and enjoy the positive aspects of his Disney World tenure.
Recommended if you are interested in these sorts of books.… (plus d'informations)
