Dispatch from Disneyland: Stories and Essays from the Happiest Place on Earth

by John Frost

Watching mighty fireworks boom above Sleeping Beauty Castle, sailing down the Mississippi river aboard a powerful sternwheeler, or strolling along Main Street U.S.A. while sweet nostalgia licks at your periphery, these are a few of the magical moments you might create on your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. Dispatch From Disneyland is a collection of stories, essays, and interesting facts written for those who love Walt Disney's original theme park, but don't have the good fortune of visiting the park on a regular basis. Inspired by the park that Walt built, Dispatch from Disneyland takes readers on a "you are there" emotional journey to Disneyland via the power of story. Each "dispatch" is meant to bring the reader to a place that reminds them of the magic they feel when at the park themselves. Also included are a collection of essays and interesting facts that help make Disneyland the number one destination for Disney fans around the globe.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I helped kickstart this book with no idea what it was going to be. As a huge fan of Disneyland and an Annual Passholder, this book put to words the magic of Disneyland that I've never been able to describe. From the stories to the essays of the author's experiences, it was such a fun experience to read.
