about

Len Testa starts off this Bandcamp exclusive by reminiscing about his experiences aboard the Magic during DCL's inaugural 7-night cruise to Quebec, Canada. Which includes a funny story about Len's interaction with a cast member working at the Magic's newest restaurant, "Rapunzel's Royal Table." Then Jim Hill shares some of the behind-the-stories that Hollywood agent-to-the-stars Michael Ovitz reveals in his new memoir about his 15-month-long tenure as President of The Walt Disney Company.

lyrics

* How the citizens of Sagueney, Quebec went above & beyond the call to make Disney Magic passengers feel well at that particular port of call
* How Canadian foodstuffs differs from groceries found in the States (EX: Milk in plastic bags and Ketchup-flavored potato chips)
* The many ways -- both inside & out -- the Chateau Frontenac inspired the Canada pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase
* Which pieces of previously unseen concept art made it into "Walt Disney's Disneyland," TASCHEN's great new book about the Happiest Place on Earth
* The role that Jane Eisner personally played in recruiting Michael Ovitz to come be Michael Eisner's second-in-command
* Who wanted to fire Bob Iger right after the ABC / Cap Cities acquisition back in 1995? Was it Eisner or was it Ovitz?
