Magic Journey, The Mandalorian and One Day At Disney

Y
ears ago I had a friend whom absolutely loved Disney cartoons.  A talented cartoonist, his dream was to one day work for Disney.  He certainly was (an is) talented enough.

One such dreamer actually had his dream come true.

Kevin P. Rafferty was originally called to the ministry but changed his life’s direction. He was hooked on art and his dream job was to work for Walt Disney.

As fate would have it his dream came true and starting out as gopher and jack of all trades, Kevin listened, looked and learned from those around him.

Eventually after years of hard work and dedication he obtained his fantastical Walt Disney Imagineering Career.

Kevin is responsible for developing, designing and creating some of the most spectacular ride attractions at the various Disney Theme Parks.

Magic Journey, from Disney Editions, tells his remarkable story of perseverance, dedication, determination and the dogged pursuit of his dream job.

In the book he tells his story; laced with humor, sage advice, fond recollections and his unending gratitude to be working for Walt Disney Imagineering.

It’s a remarkable and inspiring story of one man’s dream coming to fruition.

Critics and fans alike are head over heels in awe and in love with Disney’s Star Wars The Mandalorian TV series.

Many are calling it the best Star Wars since the original Star Wars Trilogy films.

In celebration and honor of the series Disney/Lucas Press presents The Mandalorian Poster Book.

Inside Star Wars fans receive 16 double-fold, pull-out posters.

Bounty Hunters, Droids and a baby Yoda-who could ask for more?

Imagine spending an entire day at every Disney Theme Park across the globe.

That’s just what photographers and videographers did as they looked through the eyes of the various cast members employed by Disney.

Go behind the scenes of rides, stage shows, cruise ships, visitor services, maintenance, engineers and electricians, construction workers and all of the other hundreds of employees at Disney that keep the mouse moving.

It’s a wonderful, full-color tour of and about the people who make the magic happen.

Animation, movie making and the various entertainment avenues of Disney could not exist or function without the people behind the magic.

The book is a visual tour of the many departments and the people who spend their days making guests feel welcome, the insure the wheels of Disney keep rolling and that the gears of The Magic Kingdom are well oiled and running smoothly.

This is the Disney few people ever get to experience and One Day At Disney invites readers to come along for the ride.
