When the credits roll and you've left the park, when your Disney day is over, how do you take the magic with you into your everyday work and life?

Jody Jean Dreyer worked for the Walt Disney Company for 30 years and in Beyond the Castle she shares one-of-a-kind stories and insights into what sets the Disney experience apart, as well as secrets to help readers discover their own happily ever after.

Beginning with her first position as a summer intern at Walt Disney World, through her role leading synergy and special projects for Disney (reporting to former CEO Michael Eisner), to her work with top leadership at Walt Disney Motion Pictures sharing the magic of Disney films around the world, Jody unpacks secrets that can change the way we understand ourselves, our work and relationships, and how we can find our own path to happiness.

Will the story end well for me?

Beyond the Castle Reviews

That's the real fun of reading Beyond the Castle, given the 30 years that she worked to The Walt Disney Company, Jody Dreyer has the sorts of behind-the-scenes stories that you'll never ever hear from anyone else. * Jim Hill, Huffington Post Contributor *
I had a great time reading Jody's book on her time at Disney as I have been to many of the same places and events that she attended. She went well beyond recounting her experiences though, adding many layers of texture on the how and the why of Disney storytelling. Yet Jody knows the golden rule in this business: If you knew how the trick was done, it wouldn't be any fun anymore. At the end of the journey, she is simply in awe of the magic just as we all are, even today. Thank you, Jody, for taking us along on that journey. * ROY P. DISNEY, grandnephew of Walt Disney *
Jody may be the most organized, focused person I've ever met, and she has excelled in every job she's held at the company. No one better embodies the Disney spirit. * MICHAEL D. EISNER, former chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company *
If Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse had a baby, it would be Jody Dreyer. * DICK COOK, former chairman, Walt Disney Studios *
I'm a huge believer in good storytelling. And as a fellow Disney fanatic I'm really excited to see the impact of this great read! * KATE VOEGELE, singer/songwriter, One Tree Hill actress and recording artist on Disneymania 6 *
Jody Dreyer pulls the curtain back to reveal the inner workings of one of the most fascinating and successful companies on Earth. Beyond the Castle offers incredible insight for Disney fans and business professionals alike who will relish this peek inside the magic kingdom from Jody's unique perspective. * DON HAHN, producer, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King *
I first met Jody when she was working for Michael Eisner in charge of the company's synergy. I was an artist and not used to chumming around Disney executives. But Jody in her own natural way made me feel at ease and relaxed. She exemplified that homespun, Disney quality. There is a certain 'pixie dust' magic to her. As I read Jody's words I find that same magic of belief in what she says ... she lived it, loved it and believed in it and now is sharing that with others. * Disney Legend, Glen Keane *
