Jim is the author of an array of Disney titles from his hugely popular Vault of Walt series (now on edition 9), to those about Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Walt Disney and now the Disney Cruise Line.
His next book should be out shortly and is a mix of tales from the Adventurers Club as well as the mythical jungles of Walt Disney World so keep a look out in your usual bookstore!

So what does Jim talk about on the show? Well, he reveals the story of how Walt came to enlist in the Red Cross Ambulance Corps; this to many will be a well-known fact. However, did you know in September of 1918 Walt became very ill and was returned to the family home in Chicago?  |

Jim shares all the details on the show including stories of Walt's friendships, recovery and enterprising nature. There are also further details and pictures of Walt's time in the Red Cross available here Red Cross Archives.

Another story Jim shared was the story of the second inauguration parade of a former president of the United States of America and how it took place in Walt Disney World but you will have to listen in for details. I found this D23 post, which details some of the other connections the Disney company has to American presidents here.  |
