Disney After Dark - Does Anyone Remember this Series?

Episode 177 - Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson

This might be the most unhinged premise we've ever covered.

Thanks to Keira's special interest in the Disney Parks, we discovered the Kingdom Keepers series and after reading the first book, we have just one question:

Who approved this?

Every night, five middle schoolers are teleported into Walt Disney World Resort while they sleep. Their mission? Save the parks from the Disney villains, solve a mystery connected to Walt Disney himself, and keep the Magic Kingdom from falling into chaos.

Is it completely ridiculous? Absolutely.

Is it giving serious Disney Channel Original Movie energy? Without question.

Are we immediately committing to the rest of the series? Also yes.

In this episode, Sam and Keira discuss:

-Why this premise somehow works despite being completely bonkers

-Keira's Disney Parks knowledge and how it changes the reading experience

-The campy adventure vibes

-Whether this deserves its cult following

-Why we're absolutely continuing the series

Sometimes the weirdest books become the most fun to talk about.
