Publisher's Synopsis

Where No Mouse Has Gone Before

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing and the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Jim Korkis weaves over three dozen tales of both fact and fantasy about outer space from Disney's films, theme park attractions, comics, and elsewhere, including:

  • How Walt Disney and former Nazi scientist Dr. Wernher von Braun took a man "to the moon" over a decade before one actually went there
  • The secret story of Garco, Walt Disney's mechanical celebrity friend, and how it helped inspire human audio-animatronics
  • The many different versions of the Epcot Space Pavilion that were never built and the details behind the Sci-Fi City concept that would have replaced Tomorrowland
  • What happened to the Walt Disney World attraction created by George Lucas that would have featured the deadly Xenomorph alien from the popular movie series
  • How Dr. Who almost ended up in Disneyland's Tomorrowland, Ward Kimball's strange connection to the UFO community, and much more
