Essentially a curation of articles and straight facts about Walt, the movies, and parks

Lots of fantastic information, and is essentially a curation of articles and straight facts about Walt, the movies, and parks. Not much of story, and is read more like someone wrote a long editorial. The narration sounds to computerize, but isn't unbearable.

It’s an easy listen.

I have seen some reviews that said it’s just a regurgitation of other information. However, if you’re like me, you haven’t heard this other information. So it was great! Some info I had heard before, some of it was brand new. Every Disney fan should listen to this for new information or just as a fun review. 😎👍

Nothing New

The book is just okay. Nothing new here. In fact the title is deceiving; it’s only partially about Walt, and nothing about the mouse. It’s content is good, but the writing is at times juvenile and occasionally self-indulgent. It’s a solid “meh.”

Very enjoyable

Loved this book. Narrator sounds like the voice from Disney 407 number. Lots of interesting information that I was unaware and provided great discussion points during my last Disney world trip.

Fun Facts, Interesting Structure

Although this book contains interesting fact and details parts can be hard to follow. It follows the time line but will suddenly jump back in time to explaine how we got to this point then continue with no real pause. Going from 1992 to 1983 back to 92 to jump to 95 back to 87 can be a difficult when listening.
