Highly recommended:



This is a really great book. Walt Disney was an optimist to the core. There were days he literally had no shoes-- he was supposed to pick up a desperately needed paycheck but couldn't meet the guy because his only pair of shoes were being repaired and he couldn't get them back until he paid the cobbler. He ate beans straight out of the can. But he could sell anyone on his ideas because he was optimistic and enthusiastic and honest.

On a recent trip to Disney World the character meal at the Crystal Palace was totally booked for months. We wanted to go. We thought we'd go ahead and try it, but when we got there there were tons of people milling around. The odds didn't look good. But we really wanted to, so we went up and asked the guy at the front desk. He smiled and said, well, we don't have anything available right now. But can you wait twenty minutes?

YES, WE CAN!
