A high-voltage sci-fi adventure story in a Disneyland-like amusement park of the future. The computer programming starts to glitch increasingly, pixel-holes, a few hushed-up attacks & accidents happen. Soon the AI goes fully awry and the remaining guests and staff of the park have to fight for their lives against attractions turned unpredictable & murderous to find a way out of the madhouse.
I‘ve been feeling super crummy since last week (horrendous cough and I lost my voice), so I bought myself this Disney Haunted Mansion throw with glow-in-the-dark eyes at my local Hallmark. I was really jazzed to find it half off and it was the last one! Made to be. I also picked up a ‘Foolish Mortals‘ mug because hot beverage!
Btw - I changed my name here to match my instagram and my love for all things books, blankets, and hot beverages!
Last night we played and watches The Haunted Mansion.

pickAn interesting read about the formation of Disneyland. Well written and researched but I will say it‘s very male-centric and glosses over or ignores the mistreatment of women and the misogyny that was rampant in Disney‘s early days. Highly recommend reading “The Queens of Animation” by Nathalia Holt alongside any history of Disney in order to get a balanced viewpoint. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickForgot that I hadn‘t posted about this audiobook. Downloaded it after seeing it at the bookstore & listened before my vacation. Very informative if you‘re interested in how DisneyLand was started. It was interesting to see the differences and similarities between the park of 1955 and now. There was one long chapter that basically transcribed the opening tv broadcast that I didn‘t think was necessary.
pickI read the second edition of this book which was written in 2009. So sadly some of the hidden Mickeys in this book no longer exist in Disneyland and California Adventure. But it was nice to read something that held a lot of nostalgia for me.

I am glad we didn‘t continue with the original plan to visit WDW last year. It sounds as though COVID had a big impact. Hoping by the time we visit in December it will be more as we remember. Although there do seem to have been quite a few changes in the 9 years since we were there. And the big bonus is Trix is now a huge Star Wars and HP fan.
