Walt' s Apprentice: Keeping the Disney Dream Alive is the memoir of Disney Legend Dick Nunis. It is a warm personal reminiscence of learning directly from Walt Disney for 12 years, followed by more than 30 years devoted to championing his vision and standards as the Disney empire grew. The story covers Disney' s highlights, including the 1960 Winter Olympics, 1964-1965 New York World' s Fair, and the development and opening of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Unlike other Disney books, this story is told from the perspective of operations rather than Imagineering.
This entertaining and instructive memoir appropriately mirrors a theme-park adventure. Nunis takes readers on a journey through the ups, downs, twists, and turns of his career at Disney. Structured as a series of short anecdotes followed by lessons learned, Walt' s Apprentice is effective as a professional model for reflection and improvement as well as a guide for changing with the times and endlessly striving for excellence. Crammed with gems such as you can always make things better and if you can, you should, shared experiences reflect the thoughts of several Disney leaders in addition to Nunis, adding richness to the content. Any title providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Disney is sure to be popular with a wide audience. This offering is worthy of that popularity based on both its engaging voice and valuable business insights. Recommended for business collections in all library types. --Val Edwards, Booklist
