Notes
Excited by the plot and characters, this is fun to read as a adult. If you like Disney parks this gets into them in a very unique way. A bit of puzzle solving, mystery and nostalgia thrown in to the mix. And look out for It's A Small World—like you've never seen it before.
Excited to get into this Disney YA series. Heard an interview with the author, Ridley Pearson, on the WDW Radio podcast. A good listen and fun primer to reading this. Check it out.
Description edit
When Disney comes looking for five teenagers to serve as actors for a new technology-Daylight Hologram Images, or DHIs-there is more to it than meets the eye. Strange things have been happening inside the Florida park: parts from one ride are found mysteriously moved to another; in the Fantasmic! show, the dragon unexplainably triumphs over Mickey; little blips in story lines and "offstage" antics by characters trouble managers. Finn Whitman, a middle-schooler, goes to sleep one night and has the dream of a lifetime: he "wakes up" inside Disney World as his DHI character, a glowing hologram. He meets an old man there, Wayne, who claims to be one of the original Imagineers and explains to Finn that he "and your friends" have a mission to save the park from forces that humans can neither see nor hear. Not believing his dream, but not totally discounting it, Finn, back in real life, sets out to find the four other kids who were chosen to be DHIs and in doing so he learns an eerie fact: he is not alone in this "dream." The others have had similar experiences. What if this is for real?
