Chris Mitchell 
Cast Member Confidential: [EPUB ebook] 

This is the story that Disney would never tell you.
What do you do when everything in your life falls apart? If you’re Chris Mitchell, you run away from home–all the way to Disney World, a place where no one ever dies–and employees, known as Cast Members, aren’t allowed to frown. Mitchell shares the behind-the-scenes story of his year in the Mouse’s army. From his own personal Disneyfication, to what really happens in the hidden tunnels beneath the Magic Kingdom and what not to eat at the Mousketeria, it was a year filled with more adventure–and surprises–than he could ever have ‘imagineered.’
Funny and moving, Mitchell tracks his ascent through the backstage social hierarchy in which princesses rule, and his escapades in the ‘Ghetto’ where Cast Members live and anything goes. Along the way, he unmasks the misfits and drop-outs, lifers and nomads who leave their demons at the stage door as they preserve the magic that draws millions to this famed fantasyland–the same magic that Mitchell seeks and ultimately finds in the last place he ever expected.

Within a few years, he was working on five magazines within The Surfer Group. He continues to work closely with a number of publications and websites, as well as event and TV production companies like ESPN, ASA Entertainment and Lifelounge.
