Disney in Verse: The Rhyme and Reason Behind Mickey's World

By Colleen Ann Myrhol and Chuck Schmidt

Book Overview

Poetry in Pixie Dust

Walt Disney World is many things to many people; for Colleen Myrhol, it's her muse, her inspiration to capture the magic in lines of verse, with journalist Chuck Schmidt adding historical context to each poem. The result: a Disney book like no other

At Disney World, Colleen's multiple sclerosis presents an obstacle to full immersion in the parks, but her imagination has no limits, and so she "captures" each ride, each show, even some of the shops and restaurants, in beautiful rhyming poetry.

With his decades of experience as a newspaperman covering the "Disney beat," Chuck Schmidt provides the reason to Colleen's rhyme, enhancing each poem with a meticulously researched article about that aspect of Disney history.

Together, Colleen and Chuck deliver a unique right-brain/left-brain look at Walt Disney World, equal parts fact and fancy, and 100% magical.
