Customer Review: Couldn't finish it
This appears to be a biography for Bill Capodagli, rather than a discussion of the principles and execution that make Disney a success. I had hoped for a behind the scenes look but got a "here's how I ran the laundry" biopic. I much preferred "Lessons from the Mouse: A Guide for Applying Disney World's Secrets of Success to Your Organization, Your Career, and Life" by Dennis Snow. He offers actual stories from Disney that illustrate key points of the way Disney works and how customer satisfaction is achieved.
Customer Review: Very Helpful Book
While sometimes over effusive of their praise for the Disney Company, the writers of this book have captured in practical, teachable terms what makes Disney so magical and how you can harness that spirit for your own organization. Recommended for any manager who wants to create a more fluid customer experience, this book is a quick and easy read. You'll fly through it and be able to quickly pick the parts that are helpful to your company.

Walt Disney's Donald Duck: The Brittle Mastery of Donald Duck (Gladstone Comic Album Series No. 7)
"Sooner of later the science of rain making was bound to be perfected- and the guy that perfected it is none other that Donald Duck, M.R.M. (Master Rain Maker)! The boy is good!"
Customer Review: Another Carl Barks Gem
Wether for a Collector or for a Kid( and a Kid at Heart), this item is great. Donald is usually the bumbling, screeching Duck, but here he is the Bumbling Screeching Master/Expert of ...[ pick your choice]. The specialist mastery that is shown here is some more obscure items, but they are just superb and superb fun. The more common Master of ... item is Donald as the master Mechanic, and Donald gets to eventually fix Scrooges Trains( on the cheap of course). Anyways, this is one of the better produced editions, and an accompanying Essay shows some insight that collectors will love, but may be a bit much for kids, however the fun of the comics will be great. Family friendly item, Adult friendly as well. At this price it is more than the regular comic, but since Harvey has decided to change their main titles to that annoying Manga/anime stuff, the lovers of the Carl Barks/Don Rosa style of Classic Ducks will be overjoyed with this All American Gem. ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!
