A new book was released in September called The Vault of Walt. It contains unofficial, unauthorized, uncensored Disney Stories that were never told. It also includes information about Captain EO.
I'm sure Michael would have loved to read that  :wub:

The book is over 400 pages of articles concerning Walt Disney, his films, and his theme parks. Many are based on Korkis's own conversations with Disney employees over the years in addition to historical research. For instance, I'm interested to read why the FBI opened a file concerning the original Mickey Mouse Club.

Here's a list of the book's contents:
