Every time you go to Walt Disney World or another Disney park, you are part of a story. The rides, shows, Cast Members, and all of the little details are part of the tale. Now imagine being invited to hear a real Disney author talk and then get a tour of Epcot to see where his visions came from. This happened to me in April when I went to the Disney Social Media Moms celebration and heard author Ridley Pearson explain how The Kingdom Keepers and Peter and the Starcatchers were born. After the session, he took a group of us to visit Norway in Epcot and ride on Maelstrom. This only seemed fitting for the Disney Wordless Wednesday theme of Story Telling.

Now this is storytelling at it’s best! We love Kingdom Keepers at our house!

How cool! I’ve been meaning to read Kingdom Keepers. This reminded me to go buy the first book. :)
What a cool experience! I’ve been meaning to start those books. I think this was just the motivation I needed. :)
That is very cool, Beth ;-) What a great experience, Great pics of it
Wow!! How cool Beth!! What a fabulous experience!! I love his books, we have them all. Thanks so much for sharing and for joining in on the Disney WW Blog Hop today.
I love his series. What a terrific opportunity you had!
Love Peter and the Starcatchers ( actually did a review of it on my blog, if you’re interested!) but haven’t read Kingdom Keepers yet. Have you read the series? what do you think?
What a very cool experience!
What a cool experience! My older daughter read the first couple of Kingdom Keepers books and then grew out of them – I think it’s about time to get her younger sister started!
