Walt's last wish....and the creation of a MAGICAL quest

I was given this book as a gift from my daughter, as part of a "ALL DISNEYLAND Christmas for Laura"... the family wanted to give me what my heart wants most. When I opened it I (outwardly) beamed THANKS HONEY! (Inwardly) I was, " oh, cool... a book.) Now, I am a 'Tasmanian Devil' reader.... I'm just picky. But I figured, 'I will read a chapter or so, and if I don't like it...." I got HOOKED! I read all through the night! I also got addicted to the entire series! Dave Smith added a plot twist to this first book that got this EXTREMELY MAGICAL series BANNED FROM SALE IN THE PARKS! This really rankles me, because, the ACCEPTED 'Kingdom Keepers" can't match the magic that is found here. Thankfully, after Dave departed Nancy was able to UN-twist the problem.... yet the ban remains. I was born in the 11th month of the Park's first year. I have traipsed over every available inch of Walt's Kingdom.... and was blessed to have a 20+ minute conversation with him on the banks of The Rivers of America. I met him there, and I promise, you will truly meet him here! Here you will get to look over Walt's shoulder as he plans his last, and greatest, park adventure! You will feel his heart, and experience the love and joy of the extremely fortunate pair that seem to have been FATED to complete Walt's quest..... his last Magical wish! Continue with the TWO series that follow this tale.... even Mickey during FANTASMIC couldn't dream up all the magical experiences and places the stories will take you!
