Led by the scheming witch Maleficent, a mysterious group of characters called the Overtakers is plotting to destroy Disney's beloved realm, and maybe more. Is it real? Is he dreaming?įinn's confusion only increases when he encounters Wayne, an elderly Imagineer who tells him that the park is in grave danger. Soon Finn finds himself transported in his DHI form into the Magic Kingdom at night. The new technology turns out, however, to have unexpected effects that are both thrilling and scary. Using a cutting-edge technology called DHI-which stands for both Disney Host Interactive and Daylight Hologram Imaging-Finn Whitman, an Orlando teen, and four other kids are transformed into hologram projections that guide guests through the park. The wild rides have only just begun, and the clock is ticking.In this fantastical thriller, five young teens tapped as models for theme park 'guides' find themselves pitted against Disney villains and witches that threaten both the future of Walt Disney World and the stability of the world outside its walls. Younger and older listeners alike will get a glimpse into a second Disney kingdom.

Filled with action and brimming with the same meticulous detail as The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark (also available in audio from Brilliance Audio), this second audiobook in the series - Disney at Dawn - is the result of hands-on research behind the scenes at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. That means if any of the holographic hosts fall asleep, they will go into comas - permanently. Wayne tells Finn that there's trouble at the Animal Kingdom: the evil Overtakers have gained control of one of the computer servers that will be used to operate Daylight Holographic Imaging there. The mystery deepens as Finn is contacted by Wayne, an old man he hasn't heard from in months. The only clue is the sighting of a wild monkey in the Magic Kingdom during the storm. But things go very wrong when a sudden lightning storm disrupts the celebration, and Amanda's mysterious sister, Jez, disappears. It's supposed to be a happy day at the Magic Kingdom - the teenage holographic hosts have returned.
