Anyone know anything about this book?

[PeterPan1985]

Dear fellow Disney Fanatics:

I've heard of a book written by a former MK CM (or maybe more). The author (or authors) describes their experiences working in the parks, as well as their good and bad experiences, etc. Has anyone else ever heard of such a book, and if so, could you give me the title?

Thanks!

Heard mixed reviews. Mostly that there isn't much more provided than what is discussed on this site.

I don't think the original poster means either of the books suggested above. "Realityland" is David Koenig's upcomming followup to his earlier Disneyland books (which I've enjoyed). The other listed above is an e-book about saving $ on your trip.

The one the OP is asking about used to be advertised everywhere (mostly Goolgle ads, if I remember correctly) and was billed as something like "a Disney World cast member tells all" I think the bok is "Mousecatraz" by Wesley Jones. From what I'd read about it, it was pretty bad - a former CP worker dishing dirt about life in the CP residences, etc. The book was self published too, if I remember correctly, and reviews said that it seemed to be trying hard to shock, rather than to share any real information.

I believe you are correct...I remember contemplating on whether or not to buy this book at one time. It didn't seem to be what I was particularly interested in, but hey...if you are looking for a reason to find Disney distasteful then maybe it's for you...I think if you are a WDW fan than there are much better reads out there.

If you really know Disney, there is no since in buying this book. I bought it and all it does is waste a lot of ink. its everything you should already know.

I recall a book from many years ago called "Working for the Rat."
