Summary: Koenig combines both the facts and humor of Disneyland
Review: More Mouse Tales, a closer peek backstage at Disneyland, is a humorous book as well as and informative one. It tells the stories that you never get to hear inside the park. This book is fun to read during most of it, but it also has it's dark periods, in which it contains the story of what really happened in the Columbia incident that led to the death of a Disneyland guest. Over all, this is a wonderful book that adults can enjoy, but kids should not read, until they are older, that way they can keep remembering Disneyland as the Happiest Place on Earth, and not the Tragic Kingdom.

Summary: A Sequel With No Content
Review: There is virtually no new information in this book and a good deal of it is rehashed from the first one. The first Mouse Tales book was charming, entertaining, but unfortunately David Koenig couldn't resist being greedy; he went for another bite of the apple, but this apple is riddled with worms.Here, I'll save you the time of wading through 216 pages for a few nuggets of real information: The submarine and skyway rides closed because they got old; as new attractions were planned, they were phased out. A guy tried to do a neat thing with changing the Jungle Cruise to correlate with the time period of the Indianna Jones ride, but there was no consistent policy about changing the spiels, and people got their feelings hurt. Tomorrowland has given up trying to show tomorrow and instead shows a history of attempts to show tomorrows. Characters don't roam the park as much (who could blame them when so many parents encourage their brats' outright cruelty?); instead one gets to wait in yet another line for photo ops with them. I think that's about it. I cannot understand some of the other reviewers here, in particular the one who mentions people being injured by not following directions on rides. All that detailed, fascinating information was in the first book, not this lame one. So much could have been told -- where are the backstories to the attractions in Toontown, or Indy? The Indy preshow is so detailed -- who thought up the idea of the practical jokes incorporated in it? Do the strange markings on the wall really translate as "AT&T Sucks"? What is it that one sees in that curious shadow on the wall in Roger Rabbit? What sort of cast members are recruited for Toontown? How do they bear the incessant cartoon noise of their job site? Regrettably, as he is so fond of saying Disneyland visitors do, David Koenig checked his intelligence at the door before writing this book.

Summary: Some new information but mostly a rehash from the first book
Review: This book has some new information not found in the previous book. But most of the information is repeated from his first Mouse Tales Book. Items that where a whole chapter before are now no more than a quick paragraph or two. A lot of the information seems to have been culminated from newspaper and television stories. He also states arrogantly in the preface that the reason that attendance went up in the park AFTER his first book came out was due to the fact that his book was published. He equates the millions and millions and millions of people that went to Disneyland with the few thousands that Mouse Tales where sold. He then states that "to raise attendance again, I came out with a sequel." I bought this book thinking that there would be new information that was not in the first book and other books on Disneyland and Walt Disney. If you take out the same information that was in the second book that is in his first, this book would be less than half as long as it is now. If you are going to write a book about "Behind Disneyland" why not give us information on how the attractions operate, how the maintenance crews do their jobs, etc.? Instead of the same old informtaion about how the "park cares more about profits than it workers/guests", "the pride of working there is not the same as it was in the past", etc.? What job or company in the entertainment field or any other field has NOT had these issues come up? How come Disneyland is the one targeted the most? Sure it has its problems with employees, maintenance, etc. But so have a lot of other companies. Problems will never go away. But this book paints a gloomy picture about how the park is going downhill fast and there seems to be no stopping it. If that was try, why is attendance in the millions each year? Why do people want to go there if it is so bad?

Summary: Quickly Absorbed
Review: This book is more deliciously informative than the previous, with juicier details and more malicious gossip that will make you question the integrity of Disneyland. It is also extremely provocative, dealing with opinions of current (at time of publication) cast members. Koenig even deals with the recent tragedy with The Columbia Ship accident.

Summary: A must have for all true Disneyland fans!
Review: This book is the perfect companion to Mouse tales (book one). It is even more up to date and covers so much 'secret' stuff you just don't know that goes on inside Disneyland from day to day.
It's the closest we'll ever get to being a Disneyland employee and hearing all the gossip of what really goes on. I love this book (and the first one too) and hope they bring out another in the future!

Summary: Interesting
Review: This book is very easy to read and entertaining. If you have ever worked at any Disney Park, this is one book you really will enjoy. The jokes, pranks, and stupid questions asked by guests will bring back many memories. Hopefully, David Koenig will feature his next book at Disney World.

Summary: Great Sequel
Review: This is the *perfect* sequel to "Mouse Tales." "More Mouse Tales" is a ride on more behind-the-scenes secrets and stories of Disneyland. For those looking for a book which includes more stories from the 1980s and 1990s, this will satisfy that need as well. However, one is truly depriving themselves if they do not read "Mouse Tales" and "More Mouse Tales."
