Secrets of the Mouse: insider Disneyland guide

Oh, I really like the look of Secrets of the Mouse, an insider guide to Disneyland: Secrets of the Mouse is a unique look at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, CA. It presents a view of the park from a behind-the-scenes perspective, with information about the hidden secrets and inside jokes scattered throughout Disneyland. It is intended to be a look at the magic behind the magic of Disneyland, and will give the reader a greater appreciation for the incredible efforts and innovations that create the Disneyland experience. If seeing how a magic trick works spoils the fun for you, then you might want to try another guide. However, if you find yourself asking ?How do they do that?? when you see an oncoming boulder in Indiana Jones or translucent ghosts in the Haunted Mansion, this guide is here to satisfy your curiosity. Secrets of the Mouse, Buy it on Amazon (Thanks, Akma!)...
