Instantly Hooked! I saw the first two books in the bookstore in Downtown Disney and bought them based purely on their titles. WOW! Once I started reading, I couldn't put the first one down! I was instantly hooked on the story, and the history. As the story unfolds, I was transported first to all my favorite parts of the Park and then to the wonderful parts of the world that played important parts of Walt's life and the creation of Disneyland. The second book is equally enthralling and entertaining, and I can't wait for the third and hopefully more books!

David W. Smith Co-author of
Hidden Mickey: Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales! and
Hidden Mickey 2: It All Started... and is currently writing his own novel titled
Hidden Mickey 5: Chasing New Frontiers. Having worked at Disneyland in the late 1970 s, Dave experienced first-hand the inner workings of the park and the many wonderful inspirations that were cultivated within the mind of Walt Disney. Dave always felt a special connection to Disneyland, growing up just a couple miles south of the park in Garden Grove and seeing it evolve and grow to what we now recognize as the destination resort it has become. Dave believes everyone who has ever had a dream can relate to Walt Disney s own dreams of doing the impossible. While most of us never fulfill our dreams to the extent Walt did, we all can imagine just how he must have felt walking down Main Street, USA of Disneyland, taking in all that he had done. However, while most of us would have felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing Walt as we know him today, he, most likely, would have been thinking of something new or doing something better...instead of being satisfied his success.
As a former High School Teacher and Tennis Coach, Dave's personal team win-loss record of over 1000 team wins against less than 25 losses is one of the most successful U.S coaching records. He has taught over 3000 players including over 100 state, national or world-ranked players. David Smith's 30-plus years of teaching includes a wide variety of successful venues.
Dave Smith is the author of two top-selling tennis instructional books, Tennis Mastery and Coaching Mastery and is the Senior Editor of the world s top-rated tennis website TennisOne.com, and a featured writer - publishing over 150 articles including feature pieces for USPTA's ADDvantage Magazine, Belgium's "Tennis & Coach" magazine and other articles written for the worldwide recognized website for tennis instruction. Dave has been a featured speaker at USPTA, National Honor Society
