The ninth installment in the Magic Treehouse book series is titled "Dolphins at Daybreak." This book takes Jack and Annie, the main characters, on another exciting adventure through time and space. In this book, they are transported to the ocean floor instead of a historical time period. The main idea of this book is that Jack and Annie must find a special object in order to save their friend and complete their mission. They must assist a group of dolphins and work together to overcome various challenges. Through their courage and resourcefulness, Jack and Annie are able to succeed and return to their own time.
Mind you, this is back when Michael was doing everything he could to get the Disney name & its characters out in front of as many people as possible. Which is why – for the running of the 70 th edition of the Indy 500 back in 1985 – Eisner cut a deal with the folks who staged that race to have that year’s Indy 500 Fest themed to “The Wonderful World of Disney.”
And there s this parade that s held inside of the Speedway before the official start of the race where cars with celebrities and politicians roll by. The children tell the book they are ready to travel and are whisked away to a New York of the past, one that probably will not take a couple of unicorn hunters too seriously.
Through their courage and resourcefulness, Jack and Annie are able to succeed and return to their own time. "Dolphins at Daybreak" teaches important lessons about working together, helping others, and the wonders of the natural world. This book is sure to captivate young readers and leave them eager for the next installment in the series.
When WDW Had a Racetrack – The Creation of the Walt Disney World Speedway
A few months back, when Len Testa & I recorded a Bandcamp exclusive podcast – the one where we attempted to walk from the Ticket & Transportation Center at Walt Disney World all the way over to the Magic Kingdom, only to then be stymied by all of the construction at the Grand Floridian.
Anyway … As I was driving over to the Poly to meet Mr. Testa, I made use of that new flyover ramp that now directly connects World Drive with Floridian Way. Which gave me a brief glimpse down into the southeastern corner of the Magic Kingdom Parking Lot. Which – from 1995 – 2015 – was home to the Walt Disney World Speedway. Or – as Indy Car fans used to like to call that one mile long, three turn tri-oval track – the Mickyard.
That name is – of course – a Disney-ified play on the Brickyard, the 2.5 mile-long track which is probably better known as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Which is where the Indy 500 is held every May .
And the Indy 500 actually plays a crucial role in the creation of Walt Disney World Speedway in Orlando. For the seed for this $6 million project was planted just eight months after Michael Eisner first became the CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
