In Florida, Walt Disney wanted to create more than the perfect theme park. He wanted to create the perfect World.
Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World by David Koenig follows Walt and his hand-picked successors as they surreptitiously acquire enough land to hold his "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow." They then go about trying to make his impossible dream come true--all the while battling thieving contractors, unlike-minded executives, unscrupulous corporate raiders, uncontrollable economic forces, and public-relations nightmares.
Based on a decade of research and interviews with 100 Disney insiders, Realityland also reveals what it's like to work for The Mouse, what lies in the Magic Kingdom's subterranean tunnels, and how--despite extraordinary efforts to control every aspect of "the show"-- everything doesn't always go according to script.
Hundreds of never-before-published tales and two dozen photographs add to the inside story of the world's most popular and unique Vacation Kingdom.
