OK, now we really need to take a moment to talk about the fun freebie that comes with this perk. With the Weird But True! Disney Edition book, you can learn all kinds of Disney secret and behind-the-scenes information. For example, you can read about the mystery at the top of Disneyland’s Matterhorn, see where Walt Disney had an apartment at Disneyland, and even find out the answer to an age-old question: WHY was Cinderella Castle transformed into a pink birthday cake?!
