I enjoyed the beginning of this mini-book of short essays, but I was disappointed by the somewhat gruesome turn it took towards the end. I love to "people watch" whenever I am at Disney and hearing some of the customer stories she observed was hilarious. If the book had more of those experiences, I would have rated it much higher. It was the addition of two stories in particular that soured my enjoyment of this piece. While the story about the cast member injury in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was a little more information than I wanted to know, I could have overlooked it. However, I found the story about the Splash Mountain incident (when/if you read this, you will know which incident I am referring to) to be very disturbing- particularly the more or less callous way in which it seemed to be taken by the cast members. I know the author's humor is dark, but I think this was a little overboard.
