Hello! I'm a writer of thriller fiction who also published with AM.
From one Disney fan to another, thank you for writing this. This book reads like it's written by someone who I could sit down and have a coffee with. Easy to read and follow - recommended for anyone who loves their Disney!

A lovely read, reminding me that Disney World is The Most Magical Place On Earth and Dreams really do come true.
I was lucky enough to be a cast member along side Steve and this book remined me of all the memories that I made at Walt Disney World, and how anyone who visits or is lucky enough to work there will take something special away with them.

This book was a joy to read. The way the author engaged with the words, made me feel it was more of a conversation between friends . Steven’s recollection of his time at Disney, made me smile . Although not a Disney fan myself, I couldn’t help but get swept up in the awe, spectacle and magic of the place, through the eyes of someone so passionate about his experiences and his obvious love for all things Disney. The capture of Steven’s journey during his time working at the Magic Kingdom, is a must read.

I was lucky enough to be on the cultural representative programmes at the same time as Steve so I just had to get this book when I saw he had written about his time there! I read the book in one day…I just couldn’t put it down. It brought back so many memories of a fabulous time in my life. Every ex-cast member should read this…it’ll make you giggle and maybe shed a tear or two.

I had the pleasure to also be a cast member doing the ICRP, which is where I met Steven. This book brought back so many happy memories. To all past, present and future cast members of the ICRP this is a book that you need to read. I’m sure it will make you laugh and even remember the amazing year that we made some magic happen. Once a cast member always a cast member.
