Chapek has written a 272-page memoir, “Behind the Castle Walls: My Thirty Years at the Happiest Place on Earth.” In it, he “reveals for the first time the high-stakes maneuverings that unraveled behind the scenes from his 2020 appointment to his subsequent dismissal in 2022,” according to an announcement from Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books, which is publishing the book. It’s set to be released Sept. 29, 2026.
