"David Koenig's look at the fantasyland that is Disneyland gives readers a peek at what really happens within the Anaheim theme park...Koenig's book is more than just tales. He explains how Disneyland is a city within itself, with its cast member-citizens, executive-politicians and even its own security force...At the same time, Koenig stuffs the book with wonderful anecdotes that will entertain anyone who has ever visited Disneyland or worked there. He covers everything from how Pirates of the Caribbean was first envisioned as a walk-through attraction to the tale of a maniacal annual pass holder who took it upon herself to use her electronic wheelchair to 'protect' Mickey Mouse from perceived threats...This second installment in his Mouse Tales series makes for a quick and entertaining read about one of America's most famous cultural icons." |

"The sequel to 'Mouse Tales' (1994) is another behind-the-scenes look at Disneyland, full of much declared love for Disney ethos. Little boxed features contain 'tales of tourists gone on mental vacations'--an abundant source of humor--and affection permeates much of the rest." |
| -Mike Tribby (Booklist) |
"Money is at the heart of Disneyland and many times changes in staff and procedure have been based on this bottom line. No part of the book presents a mean spirit of anti-Disney. The stories ring true. Many of them are fun to know. The reader might understand a little more about the operation of a theme park as large as this one where everyone expects nothing but magic and some of them leave their manners at home." |
