About this listen

Exceeding expectations rather than simply satisfying them is the cornerstone of the Disney approach to customer service. Now, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the original Be Our Guest, the Disney Institute, which specializes in helping professionals see new possibilities through concepts not found in the typical workplace, is revealing even more of the business behind the magic of quality service. During the last 25 years, thousands of professionals from more than 35 countries and more than 40 industries have attended business programs at Disney Institute and learned how to adapt the Disney approach for their own organizations.

Good for Disney Philosophers

Content is good, the audio version is dry. Recommend reading this one on your own.

Excellent learning experience

This book is an excellent learning experience upon which to build one's service delivery structure for one's company.
I will put many of the concepts I have learned in this book into our company's Service Delivery structure.

Great Story, little direction

It was an enjoyable book about the Disney process but gave less direction/steps to take action on.

Cast, setting and culture is the key to creating magical experiences. Tons of valuable nuggets throughout the book. A little slow at times/tough to follow. It's a great book based on the length as well. worth a listen!!

Enjoyed It!

Was not quite what I was expecting, but still good. Didn't enjoy the voices. It was not necessary to try to talk like Walt to quote him.
