Yep. Tired of this book and I haven't even seen it. How many of these books do we actually need? Honestly, stuff like this is online. Google it. This is just a waste of space on the bookshelf.

Shouldn't it be pointing with two fingers?

That's the point (no pun intended), this whole book (and te other hundreds like it) are to show that "what Disney shows on the outside, typically never happens". It's a stupid, pointless book that we've seen time and time again. We've seen this book titled RealityLand, Mouse Tales, ect.

This is about as good as someone suing Disney for a quick buck, which is all this is. If you're trying to show Disney for what it really is, then do it, don't change names of people to protect them. This is your "Here what really happens behind tje scenes at Disney World" not "Here's what happens.... BUT, I'm going to save face by not giving you the FULL or true story".

I bought it and read it-ONLY because some clown over on Board X was trying to have it banned!

I have a feeling-although you guys would probably know better-that he embellished things a bit. I don't recall any story about Tarzan leaping off a float during a parade to rescue a child who fell in the castle moat.

When was Tarzan ever in a parade here though? Im born and raised Floridian and have been going to Disney World since 88. I have no recollection of him being in a parade.

I almost bought it, but decided to spend money on other books I've been wanting to read.

Just a guy looking to make a buck. Like with anything else, your choice to buy it, read it, believe it, or just pass it up.

Only thing Im remembering is Tarzan Rocks! And we all know they ended the show on the infamous castle float, so it makes sense.

I seem to remember seeing tarzan and jane, with the various apes, in a parade, but I thought it was at Disneyland....and a long time ago!

OR maybe at AK in WDW?
