Introduction
1000 Really, Really Hard Disney Trivia Stumpers
Introduction
Welcome to this, the third in The World’s Toughest Disney Quiz Book series. It’s pretty safe to say that this is the toughest Disney quiz book yet. The questions are designed to test your in-depth knowledge of the Walt Disney Company to the extreme. You won’t find anything as simple as “What time is the three o’clock parade?” in here.
What you will find, as with the previous two volumes, are a thousand difficult questions relating to Disney’s films, televisions shows, theme parks, and anything else to do with the company and the people behind it. I can’t promise that you’ll know all the answers—where would be the fun in that? —but you will learn an incredible amount about everything Disney.
What job did Minnie Mouse’s parents do? On which planet does the Grand Councilwoman live and work in the Lilo & Stitch franchise? What, according to Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland, is the name of the March Hare?
The answer to these and many other questions are in here, The World’s Toughest Disney Quiz Book: Volume 3.

Write for Theme Park Press
We're always in the market for new authors with great ideas. Or great authors with new ideas. Whichever type of author you are, we'd be happy to discuss your book. Before you contact us, however, please make sure you can answer "yes" to these threshold questions:
Is It Right for Us?
We specialize in books that have some connection to Disney or theme parks. Disney, of course, has become a broad topic, and encompasses not just theme parks and films but comic books, animation, and a big chunk of pop culture. Your book should fit into one (or more) of those broad categories.
Is It Going to Make Money?
There's never a guarantee that any book will make money, but certain types of books are less likely to do so than others. They include: hardcovers, books with color photos, and books that go on forever ("forever" as in 400+ pages). We won't automatically turn down these types of books, but you'll have to be a really good salesman to convince us.
Are You Great to Work With?
Writing books and publishing books should be fun. The last thing you want, and the last thing we want, is a contentious relationship. We work with authors who share our philosophy of no drama and zero attitude, and the desire for a respectful, realistic, mutually beneficial partnership.
If you said "yes" three times, please step inside.
