Review : Walt’s Apprentice: Keeping the Disney Dream Alive is the memoir of Disney Legend Dick Nunis . It is a warm personal reminiscence of learning directly from Walt Disney for 12 years, followed by more than 30 years devoted to championing his vision and standards as the Disney empire grew. The story covers Disney’s highlights, including the 1960 Winter Olympics, 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, and the development and opening of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Unlike other Disney books, this story is told from the perspective of operations rather than Imagineering. It touches on decisions that defined the guest experience and Disney’s reputation for quality in areas ranging from capacity and people-moving, training, delivering a consistent “good show,†food service, and more.This first-person narrative is presented as a series of wide-ranging vignettes. Some vignettes focus on personal, character-shaping events, such as the injury that ended his collegiate football career. Other stories touch on national events, such as Nikita Khrushchev’s derailed visit to Disneyland, the decision to close the park following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan’s assistance in expediting the visa process for cast members staffing the Epcot World Showcase. Few people have enjoyed a life so immersed in Disney magic. These stories share that magic through the memories of one of the original doers and dreamers. Searching for that perfect gift for the #1 Disney fan in your life?

Review : Really enjoyed Dick’s unique first person account of being Walt Disney’s “can-do†resource. His affection and admiration for both Walt the man and his values is a pleasure to read. Nunis is the real deal. I had the pleasure of meeting with him as an Imagineer (Disneyland Paris) and although he could be a polarizing figure, we always had a deep respect for his contributions, dedication to what he believed was Disney quality and his unequalled operational experience. Deserves the Legend title. I recommend the book highly and only wish there was more from someone who was there for all those seminal Moments! Attached a photo from opening morning of Euro Disneyland and Dick seems lost in thought looking at the Hotel, probably wanting to improve it a bit more!! Love that guy! You will too.
