    Free Disney Book for your Kindle

    I do not know if it is any good but I downloaded it (you do not need a kindle to read a kindle book by the way)
    Here is what it says about it.

    Hidden Mickey 5: Chasing New Frontiers (Hidden Mickey Series) [Kindle Edition]
    Editorial Reviews
    Product Description
    Award-Winning, (2011 Silver Quill Award, League of Utah Writer's Annual Awards for Novel Manuscriptl), adult-level action-adventure mystery/love story about Walt Disney and Disneyland. (Age appropriate for 12 and up.)

    After Blain Walters, a twenty-three year old charismatic Disneyland Cast Member, meets Missy Johansen, a beautiful, adventuresome Swiss visitor to Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom, together the young couple stumble upon a very old wallet while exploring a secret location at Disneyland…a wallet whose owner, they discover, was connected to a brazen robbery at Disneyland many decades before—a robbery that had yet to be solved. In addition to a large sum of money, the unique and mysterious pendant of Walt Disney’s was also taken, a pendant that had just recently been recovered from a previous theft and subsequent paid ransom.

    The owner of the lost wallet, Nathan Duncan, an unscrupulous landscaper at Disneyland, unexpectedly died while being pursued by Disneyland Security after he is suspected in the disappearance of the money and the seemingly predestined pendant. Duncan’s sudden death literally buried any chance of finding the stolen money or the priceless and legendary red-diamond pendant.

    Forty-four years after Duncan’s demise, Blain and Missy discover that the found wallet literally holds the key to a trail of lost clues. Each deciphered clue, in turn, leads Blain and Missy on a quest to find interwoven pieces of a nearly half-century old puzzle, a puzzle that may reveal where the lost Disney cache is hidden.

    Adding to the intrigue, Blain is unaware that Missy is in reality—and incognito—the rising international pop star from Switzerland, Malaysia Hosner, who has just kicked off her first U.S Concert Tour in Southern California. In addition to tracking down decades-old clues, Blain and Malaysia find themselves seeking to follow their hearts as they find a real connection with each other while delving deeper and deeper into this long-forgotten mystery.

    How long can Malaysia keep her identity a secret? Where do the cryptic clues lead? Who else is seeking the long-lost Disney fortune? What kind of relationship, if any, can be forged through the adventure Blain and Malaysia share? And, what magic does the Magic Kingdom indeed have in store for the two passionate explorers?

    Pursuing legendary treasure, discovering secret locations in Disneyland, and finding romance along the way, Chasing New Frontiers generates literary fireworks! Adventure, mystery, and intrigue await the reader in this new Hidden Mickey Mystery!

    Enjoy this “E- Ticket” Adventure!

    No it was free to everyone yesterday. They are usually only free to everyone for about a day. I guess I should have mentioned that sorry.

    I grabbed it as well, but I think the synopsis sounds seriously cheesy. And it's about DisneyLAND, apparently, but yet part of the blurb mentioned the Magic Kingdom. There isn't any MK in California, is there? Aren't the parks called Disneyland and California Adventure? Or do I have that wrong?

    Shocked that it was book 5 of a series - must have missed my attention - might be for good reason. I'll check it out, but it's low on my reading list!

    It's an amusement park, for goodness sake, how much planning could you need?

    Wahoo! Finally a trip planned!

    Disneyland is similar to the Magic Kingdom. They've tried to sneak it in as an additional title but people will forever call it Disneyland no matter what Disney tries.

    I actually heard them call Disneyland Park "the magic kingdom" when I was on the Disneyland Railroad in November. Something like "the grand circle tour of the magic kingdom." Maybe he meant it lowercase, but I couldn't hear it in the taped announcer's voice.

    In any event, when I hear Magic Kingdom I think of WDW; Disneyland (or Disneyland Park) is the one in Anaheim.

    On the Resort Monorail as you're passing the Grand Floridian wedding chapel, it still says something to the effect of, "Get married with the pristine Magic Kingdom and Grand Floridian in the background." Or something like that. Not really that close to it, but the point is that they're talking about how beautiful the chapel area is. Except at the moment it looks like a scene from Fern Gully out there with all the tractors lined up.

    Yes, the Disneyland Railroad has a station announcement with a reference to Magic Kingdom

    "Your attention please. The Disneyland Limited now leaving for a grand circle tour of the Magic Kingdom, with stops at New Orlean's Square, Mickey's Toontown, and Tomorrowland. All passengers 'boooard"


    I did download the book just because its sort of Disney and it was free. Not sure when I'll get to it though.
