All New! Now Available!

After nearly a decade of research and more than 100 exclusive interviews, orders are now being accepted for the first copies of Mouse Tales author David Koenig's unique history of Florida's Walt Disney World. Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World represents the first-ever in-depth, unauthorized, behind-the-scenes look at the world's most popular Vacation Kingdom. Join Walt as his hand-picked agents secretly buy up thousands of acres of swampland to transform into his greatest dream: an entire city modeled after the unusual philosophies of Disneyland. His successors then pull a double switch, dangling Walt's model city in front of state legislators to gain approval to form their own government, providing absolute control in construction and operation of their new theme park and other amusements. Or so they think. Even with legal power, Disney World soon discovers it can't control everything that happens within its property lines, including combative unions, misguided executives, renegade employees, careless guests, and unavoidable outside forces. The drama is capped by a tumultuous change of leadership that turns the cherished Ways of Walt upside down.
