the resort hotels, eaten the food, and experienced the parades, shows, and attractions, experiencing the resort as you are going to experience it. Where there are issues and problems other Guests might want to know about, I share those here in a constructive way.
“One-Stop Shopping” . Within this book you’ll find a wealth of Disneyland information: facts, tips, secrets, menus, prices, in-depth history, analysis, opinions, photos, Hidden Mickeys , and essays on everything from local hotels to keeping fit and safe on your vacation. There are detailed descriptions as well as FastView capsule summaries of each attraction, shop, and restaurant. Readers have remarked that books in this series are “incredibly comprehensive”. Unlike some Disneyland books, the 2014 electronic E-Ticket edition covers both theme parks, Disneyland and also its sister park DCA . The deluxe paperback editions cover each park separately, due to printing constraints and readability, but both of the 2014 Disneyland and DCA paperbacks contain the handy “Guest-O-Pedia” and all of the extra essays and resources and photos—all of the extra “bells and whistles”—from the E-Ticket edition.
This truly is one of the most comprehensive guide and history books ever published. How do you save money at the resort? Pamper yourself? Beat the crazy lines at popular attractions? Select a hotel? Keep your children safe? Avoid Disneyland meltdowns ? It’s in here, along with essays on Disneyland ’s incredible variety of foods and beverages, fitness expert Jack Witt’s tips for staying healthy and fit during your resort visit, a “Guest-O-Pedia” that explains Disneyland from “ Annual Passholders ” to “ Zebra Cocoa ,” and tales of some of Disneyland ’s weirder and spookier facts, myths, and legends.
Finally, in addition to the author’s grown-up perspective, you can read “Kid’s Eye Views” and “Teen’s Eye Views,” comments on many attractions by the author’s intrepid copilot on so many early journeys, the niece whose birthday party started it all.
As of this writing Julia is fourteen years old, and has been visiting the park since she was five. She can recall toddler experiences there, and now has a teen perspective. She’s able to provide a youthful viewpoint that is sometimes lacking in Disneyland books. Her opinion is, of course, just one voice, but it’s the voice of a savvy kid who’s spent hundreds of hours at the resort.

Thank you for buying this book, arm-chair traveler! Disneyland truly is one of the happiest places on earth. It’s invigorating, inspiring, and yet relaxing. If you ease into your time there, you will find yourself creatively and technically inspired in ways that will carry over to your work and your family.
With an entire imaginative resort and a legion of Cast Members devoted to meeting every Guest need, how could the result be anything but euphoric? I hope that the joy and delight of this unique utopia translates through these pages.
Some final thoughts about The Disneyland Book of Secrets 2014 before you dive in …
Accuracy . Within these pages I’ve made every effort to be accurate, to corroborate information, to cross-check facts, and to draw upon multiple sources that include the Internet, books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, lectures, personal experience and observation, and informal Cast Member interviews. Any errors or inaccuracies are my own responsibility.
Change Management . The 2014 editions are as up-to-date as possible, but remember that the park is a living, ever-changing entity. Prices will change over time, usually increasing. The prices and menus within this book will give you a solid idea of what to expect and how to budget, but during the next year some menu items might change, and some prices might rise (typical Disneyland food-price increases are about twenty – thirty cents per annum for
