Lost in the Andes

I'm a sucker for reprinted Disney comic books. I can't believe I waited this long to pick up "Donald Duck Lost in the Andes" (hardback, 240 pgs). The book contains a great collection of Donald Duck comics between 1948-1949 by the legendary Carl Barks. This is a great collection if you're a fan of Donald Duck or early Disney. My only nitpick with the book, is that the notes on each story occur at the back of the book instead of preceding each story.

Mouse Moments

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.
