2) A book about the resurrection of The Disney Company ... all about how it was going down the tubes and then there was a take-over bid by investors who put Michael Eisner in charge ... all the things that Mr. Eisner did to put the company back on track. Say what you will about him, but he really did resurrect the company to what you see today. (Example: Ron Miller, etc felt that the classic Disney movies should only be brought out every 7 years for theatrical release ... Michael Eisner, got them out and sold them in the stores in order to infuse cash into the company.)
Other good reads are biographies that go into the parks include Walt Disney:The triumph of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler.
I don't know if they are still in print but two that I read were
1) A biography written about Walt by his daughter Diane Miller ... I recall reading it many moons ago (pre-WDW) so doubt that it is even available anymore
There is a very new book, Project Future, by Chad Emerson. It just came out within the past few months. It is subtitled The Inside Story Behind the Creation of Disney World.
It covers the period between November 1963 and opening in October 1971. It goes into great detail about the planning at Disney, the secrecy in getting the property, and the dealings with Florida in getting the Reedy Creek Improvement Districct set up.
Last month Chad Emerson was the Guest Speaker at the World Chapter of NFFC meeting in Celebration, and he was as intreresting as his book. If you are interested in WDW history, this is it.
It wasn't the Disney War that I read ... maybe Keys to the Kingdom?
