Yep, this. I'm hoping he pens a book, I'd love to read it. He's got to be one of the most interesting characters who ever worked for WDI. I never bore of what he has to say.
I wish he'd say more!
If you ever get the chance to talk to him personally, he will be be more then happy to tell you his opinion on any topic you want to talk about.
I too also hope he decides to write a book...seems like something he would enjoy.
There has been talk about it in the past.
I remember some years ago when he attended Bruce Gorden's memorial service, he talked about how envious he was of how Bruce was able to go off and feed his creative energies outside of WDI by writing these marvelous and informative books about the Parks and WDI.
It was something he always wanted to do but just never seemed to have the time.
Perhaps now with him being somewhat 'retired' he will have more of an opportunity to do so.
I would imagine a book about his experiences and design lessons learned within his career at WED/WDI would be a great topic, but i can also totally see him writing a fascinating and unique 'history book' about Disneyland.
There have been others over the years, but Tony has a unique perspective that i think would make a highly entertaining read.
I cannot see him writing any kind of 'biography' about himself....but i could be wrong of course.
I think he would be more interested in sharing his knowledge about what he knows, has learned, or has experienced in his long career with the Disney organization then just telling his own personal story.
I definitely do not see him writing some kind of 'tell-all' book...although i am sure there are a LOT of folks out there who would absolutely love love love to read it!
Like i said, the man has a very unique perspective on matters and excels at expressing that in entertaining ways.
Tony should just 'go on tour'....maybe to promote his book when he finally writes it!
