What major Walt Disney World attraction had a set where cast members might be having sex while guests blithely rode by not ten feet away? What job at WDW was so dangerous it had a 100% injury rate? What WDW show was virtually guaranteed to damage its starring princess’ knees? Why was Snow White not allowed to speak? Why was the Town of Celebration REALLY built? The answers to these and many, many other questions are found in Disney Doc.
Disney magic is the result of performances by over 60,000 cast members playing their various roles in a repetitive show that runs 365-days per year. That many normal people doing their special performances over and over can, and does, lead to injuries and illnesses. It was the Disney Doc’s role to take care of those cast members and their maladies, while trying to make all of that care invisible to guests. Attempting to perform every role in the parks taught the Disney Doc how the cast were being injured, but he also learned that THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
As a company executive, the Disney Doc had access to inside information not available to the average cast member…
Now retired, Disney Doc Tony Rizzo, M.D., takes you WAY backstage to learn about WDW in a way you have never seen before.
