DISNEY UNIVERSE & WALT'S APARTMENT PODCASTS

JOSHUA C. SHAFFER Two time published author, Joshua Shaffer, has spent his adult life frequenting Disneyland. One year while on a Disney vacation, it struck him that he should write an all-inclusive book compiling every bit of information into one vacation guide that cannot be found anywhere else. It started with that simple notion and has evolved into this final work. As a hobby, he spends much of his spare time researching and investigating to find out the facts not just the rumors on a variety of topics. He is also a blogger, podcaster, and writes articles for Theme Parkology Magazine. His first edition of Discovering the Magic Kingdom: An Unofficial Disneyland Vacation Guide was released on October 1, 2010, and his second encyclopedic edition was released July 17, 2017. The second edition has over 3,700 exciting "fun facts," is packed with over 750 photos, trivia, a scavenger hunt, Hidden Mickeys, ways to help cut park expenses, and so much more, you'll never leave for Disneyland without it. Joshua is also the Public Relations Manager for Gina Rock, the aerialist who flew as Tinker Bell in Disneyland for the nightly fireworks from 1983 until her retirement in 2005. She is the longest flying Tinker Bell in Disneyland history. He has also used his artistic skills to create Disney fantasy pins, of which he has designed over 145 different ones. Recently he began voice acting and is a production coordinator for the audio-drama production company, Adventurous Ideas, LLC. He is currently writing a book trilogy that covers just the movie fun facts. Each volume has a section for Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Walt Disney Animation, Live-Action films, and more. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his lovely wife who assists him with sales and puts up with his constant talking about all things Disney. www.DisneyGuy.org
