Your no-nonsense, consumer-oriented guide to Disney's Cruise Line
The Unofficial Guide to the Disney Cruise Line by Len Testa with
Erin Foster, Laurel Stewart, and Ritchey Halphen describes the best
of Disney's ships and itineraries, including a couple of stellar
restaurants, top-notch children's activities, and Castaway Cay, one
of the best vacation islands in the Caribbean. The book also lists
which on-board entertainment and restaurants should be skipped,
including recommendations on what to do instead. Along the way,
this indispensable travel companion shows how to save money; choose
the right stateroom, ship, and itinerary; and get to and from the
cruise with ease. The guide also provides full coverage of the
Disney-run European river cruises and includes itinerary and port
guides.
Theme park studies is a growing field in social and cultural
studies. Nonetheless, until now little attention has been dedicated
to the choice of the themes represented in the parks and the
strategies of their representation. This is particularly
interesting when the theme is a historical one, for example ancient
Greece. Which elements of classical Greece find their way into a
theme park and how are they chosen and represented? What is the
"entertainment" element in ancient Greek history, culture and myth,
which allows its presence in commercial structures aiming to
people's fun? How does the representation of Greece change against
different cultural backgrounds, e.g. in different European
countries, in the USA, in China? This book frames a discussion of
these representations within the current debates about immersive
spaces, uses of history and postmodern aesthetics, and analyses how
ancient Greece has been represented and made "enjoyable" in seven
different theme parks across the world, providing an original and
ground-breaking contribution to theme park studies and classical
reception.
