Another great treasure hunt and a revisit to 'classical' Disneyland! Another terrific story and treasure hunt picking up where the previous books in both series left off. Gives a perspective of Walt's dreams for the park and the fun that guests were to have. When visiting the 1966 version of the park mentions of attractions such as the Motorboat Cruise that I loved in the 70's and 80's, as well as the old Chicken of the Sea restaurant brings back fond childhood memories.

Johnson, Chicago, IL USA -- .com/reviewsAnother Adventure, Under Da Sea! 5 stars! As always, this latest installment of the series provides wonderful history to the Park, most notable, a return to the wonder of the live mermaids of the Tomorrowland lagoon! The main characters are confronted with another challenge, and a new dark foe, who's connections to Walt's legacy follow a twisted and dark path. With this new threat, the reader is swept away on a rollercoaster of emotional comflict leading to a stark question. What would you do, how far will you go, for the man and legend of Walt Disney? Timothy Crumrine, San Diego, CA USA -- .com/reviewsFrom the AuthorDear Readers, Walt Disney's interest in mermaids was long-standing. Soon after he finished production on Snow White in 1937, he wanted to dive into Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the Little Mermaid. However, the project had to be shelved--much to Walt's regret. Flash forward to the 1980's when The Disney Company was animating the version we love so dearly. Miraculously, Walt's original script for The Little Mermaid was found. What was interesting was that some of Walt's changes to the original storyline were the same as the changes made by the later Disney writers. Hidden Mickey Adventures 3: The Mermaid's Tale begins shortly after Peter and Catie find the mermaid hidden in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. At the home of Catie's grandmother Margaret, they find a familiar gray capsule buried in the attic. But, more importantly, they find out something fascinating about Margaret--she had been one of the mermaids swimming in the Submarine Lagoon in the 1960's. In this fun-filled novel, we examine some of the attractions that have been gone from Disneyland for many years. Re-live the original Submarine Voyage and the Motor Boat Cruise. Stand with Walt himself on the deck of the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship. Get reacquainted with the mysterious Blonde-Haired Man who worked side-by-side with Walt in the original novel Hidden Mickey: Sometimes Dead Men Do Tell Tales! Our favorite security guard Wolf is always nearby as a new villain threatens the children. She has her own Mermaid's Tale to complete and is fanatically dedicated to seeing it through to the bitter end--even if it means going through Wolf to do it. There is something unsettling about her that he can't put a finger on and he finds that he may have bitten off more than he can chew!
