Summary: All the bitter truth... makes the nice parts even sweeter
Review: First, and very important: there's nothing in this book that you can't find already on the Net. But here you'll find a really objective account of the Disneyland's backstage story - something which is quite difficult to see in a world that seems factionally divided into Disney worshippers and bashers.Also to note: this volume is mostly about the crazy antics going on behind the scenes. The sequel is more oriented toward showing the black underbelly of the park's management.

Summary: How Disney Keeps the Magic in its Magic Kingdom
Review: As the author of a mystery novel in current release that uses a fictional Orange County amusement park as a primary setting, I found David Koenig's MOUSE TALES fascinating. He did his research, and he presents what he learned in an entertaining manner. In MOUSE TALES, he tells some tales that Disney's Big Rats might prefer to remain untold, yet he is also fair. He shows his reader how Disney's theme parks are run and how they manage to remain the most popular amusements of their kind in the world. MOUSE TALES is a fair book. It is an honset book. It is a good book.

Summary: Gripping as a Steven King novel - trashy fun read
Review: I'm a huge Disney fan, and I read a lot of books on the subject, but Mouse Tales is far and away the best of the bunch. Hilarious, interesting, well edited, fast paced...you'll be unable to put it down if you have even the slightest interest in what goes on behind the scenes at Disneyland. I eagerly away the sequel which I currently have on order (hardbound, no less). A guaranteed winner.

Summary: Give it a break!
Review: This is an interesting book, and besides a few skips here and there is extrememely fast reading. I read this book in one sitting believe it or not. All the other reviews have said things like it tainting your vision of Disney, and all the horrors going on, etc. Come on people, it is after all, an amusement park in the real world. Of course things will happen and of course the park will not want everyone to know about them. This book has some interesting facts in it, but overall was surprised at the wealth of knowledge that WAS NOT in the book. It could've been much better, but was fun just the same.

Summary: Good for the very curious
Review: I got this book out of curiousity (and some reviews). It's really supposed to be shocking, but it really isn't. The only real shocking part is concerning the countless park fatalities. Shocking because death is really not supposed to occur in a world of fantasy. Since I've been to Walt Disney World countless times and never visited the "real" theme park out in SolCal, I would say it's pretty much for those just DIScovering Disney. I also enjoyed the chapter about the walk-around characters. Since I hound around Disney World looking for them, I have to give them major props for the junk they must face in their job.

Summary: It was interesting
Review: I bought this book and a couple others on Disneyland. I just got hired to work at Disneyland, so I wanted to read what it was like to work there. I was very excited to work there, until I read this book. It made me feel a little weird. It tells lot's of stuff you never hear about, or even think about, that happen at Disneyland. I wish he told more recent stuff, most of the things were before I was even born. I am 26. It was a little depressing, I can't think of another word, but I also found it interesting and kept reading and reading. If you don't mind having your image of Disneyland change, you should buy it.

Summary: Interesting, but...
Review: This book has some fun and interesting stories. However, it is written on a 3rd grade level and reads more like a Dick and Jane book than something for people who can under stand monosyllabic words.

Summary: My favorite
Review: Probably my favorite book (alongside More Mouse Tales and Mouse Under Glass) It is a great book for any Disney fan and it is enough to make you want to visit Disneyland again and again.

Summary: Interesting but old news...
Review: Perhaps because this book was released a while ago, the information presented consisted of a lot of old stories I had heard already. Much of the information, however, was new. The author covers a wide range of subjects for Disneyland, from the actors to Walt himself. I have actually heard a lot more from additional sources, but for a first-timer in the Disneyland trivia craze, this book is a great launching pad.
