    Awesome Read! Great Stories of Debauchery and Tips for Disney World

    This book had me laughing through almost every page! The author has an amazing style that just brings every word to life. Crude, yes. Drugs, yes. Sex, yes. Illegal activities, YES. The stories that the author tells, whether they are his own or ones he collected, are fantastic. If you don't take away any fun tips from this because you are already a hard-core Disney fan like I am, the stories make it worth it. I really hope he writes another one soon! A must read for the Disneymaniacs out there who can appreciate that not everyone who visits Disney World is a perfect prince or princess!

    Loved it!

    I was skeptical at first, but this book was amazing and left me wanting more. I love both the good and bad sides of WDW, and this efficiently highlighted both, whether it was intended to or not. I don't do drugs, so I simply skipped that chapter and moved on with life. Live and let live etc. Overall a great read among the likes of Mouse Tales and Realityland. Definitely worth buying.

    Not as dark as I expected, but still entertaining and a good look behind the theme park world.

    Loved it! Any Disney fan should read.

    So if you are anything like me, a huge fan of anything and everything Disney related, than you would definitely find this book at least entertaining. It's a really fast read (read it in a day) and it's hilarious at some parts. The only reason why you shouldn't read it is if you get easily offended...but really, the author is the one doing the stuff in the book, not you! So read on!

    Not highly recommended

    Although this book is interesting on some level, it is very limited. There are some interesting insights to life at Disney, there are never much on detail or enough background. Mainly just someone's accounts of screwing off while at work. A little boring.
