Travels with Goofy - Getting to, from and around the Disney magic

By Chuck Schmidt

A MAGIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY

With Disney Legend Marty Sklar as his inspiration, retired journalist and Disney author Chuck Schmidt takes readers on a magic journey of getting to, from and around Disney's wonderful world in his latest book, Travels with Goofy, his seventh book for Theme Park Press.

Chuck has covered Disney's expansive world, first in print and then on-line in his Still Goofy About Disney blog for AllEars.Net, for more than 45 years. Much like Marty's Travels with Figment book, which details the Disney Legend's many trips during his 54-year career, Travels with Goofy dives into the adventures - and misadventures - Chuck and his family have experienced traveling the long and winding road to Disney amusement enterprises, including the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair to see the four Disney-created shows there ... the joy of visiting Walt Disney World for the first time in 1972 ... and the overwhelming sadness of returning to the Vacation Kingdom of the World just days after the worst terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in 2001.

Travels with Goofy showcases an unexpected storm passengers endured on the Mediterranean Sea while sailing on the Disney Magic cruise ship, as well as experiencing a few mishaps during Chuck's 12-plus-year career as a Disney Store cast member.

Want more? How about getting stuck in the Orlando International Airport overnight, trekking across a rickety rope bridge at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, with a dozen or so Nile crocodiles sunning themselves right below ... losing tickets on Amtrak's Auto Train to a scam artist ... or dodging a California wildfire during a trip from Disneyland in Anaheim to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.

Much like Marty's Travels with Figment book, Travels with Goofy proves that getting to, from and around Disney's expansive world often can be as exhilarating as a Disney attraction.

That being the case, enjoy the ride ... and please watch your head and step
