    Let's start May 01 and read two chapers at a time, then discuss. If that isn't enough or too much Alex can always decide how to handle it. For now that at least gets us started.

    The deluxe edition does include a CD which is described as:

    >>A Walk in the Park: A Guided Tour of Disneyland in 1955, a 60-minute audio CD featuring Mouse Tales author David Koenig and nostalgia radio personality Randy Brian recreating a trip to the Disneyland of a half-century ago.<<

    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B00005KARE/sr=1-14/qid=1240356644/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=130&s=dvd&qid=1240356644&sr=1-14" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...&sr=1-14</a>

    There is another one that is five times more money than this one that supposedly has "never before seen footage" whatever that is. But I'm not going to shell out $97 for THAT one!

    Anyway, this audio CD sounds like it might be fun. Maybe I can find it used on Amazon or Ebay for lots cheaper.

    Seriously, I'm not sure about this chapter-by-chapter discussion notion. It sounds confusing to me. Besides, people read at different paces.

    My suggestion is that anyone can feel free to give their impressions at any time, but that no one should post spoilers until a particular date. That date should be far enough off to allow people to order the book and read it, so I'm thinking, what, maybe Friday, May 15th? Is that too far away? Too soon?
