I don't usually buy Disneyland Park guides. After all, how much can you add to what's already been said. But, "Mouse Moments" (paperback, 140 pgs) promised that this would be a "humorous guide through Disneyland".
I hate errors. I can overlook (barely), typos and grammatical errors, but factual errors drive me crazy. By page nine in "Mouse Moments" errors started to show up. The Jungle Cruise does not offer FastPass and it never has. And then I spotted another FastPass error. The author states that Peter Pan offers FastPass. It also never has. At first, I thought the author used a template for each attraction page, so I went with the benefit of the doubt that this was just sloppy editing. But, in the back of the book, under FastPass, it lists both Jungle Cruise and Peter Pan. I won't comment on Pooh and Buzz being listed as FastPass attractions. Buzz lost it FastPass machine when Star Tours was remodeled, and Pooh lost its machine soon after the attraction opened.
I'm only half way through the book. I doubt I'll finish it.

I think they're confusing Disneyland with the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World; the Jungle Cruise and Peter Pan have FastPass there.
There's further evidence of the authors confusion between WDW and DL. In the description of Haunted Mansion, she states the hitchhiking ghost scene has been retooled. This scene has not been changed in Disneyland. Also, in DL it's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster; WDW has Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Boy, I'm beginning the author wrote this book from memory and didn't do any research.
