From cautionary tales of scoring illegal tickets, to thrilling accounts of exploring off-limits areas, to chronicles of drug-induced debauchery, this completely unauthorized guidebook will change the way you think about vacationing at “The Happiest Place on Earth”.
"THE DARK SIDE OF DISNEY shines a light into the roachy shadows of Walt Disney World. With 33 years of experience storming the gates of the Magic Castle, Leonard Kinsey has explored every possible option for a low-cost Disney vacation, ranging from the immoral to the downright illegal. Packed with all the tips that Disney was hoping you wouldn’t discover, like free parking and bottomless beverage scams, this book also teaches you how to get free airline drink tickets and bar/pool hop around the high end Disney resorts like Hollywood glitterati.
Ever wanted to know where to have uninterrupted coitus on property? Kinsey points the way. Where to score weed? Keep reading. Kinsey charges to the roof of The Contemporary and spelunks into The Utilidors to bring you the finest nuances of an underground Disney vacation.
Pack the trunks and leave the kids at Grandma’s because THE DARK SIDE is about to make your next Disney vacation the best one ever!"

1By British_GooseI bought this book on a whim thinking it might be a juicy read. It turns out to be mainly info you can find online and not much substance.a DisneyFreak's Catcher in the Rye
5By TheOnlyDrGonzoa must read for the fellow DisneyFreaks out there. have yet to step foot on WDW property but a self proclaimed Disneyland Pro, i most certainly am. Leonard Kinsey proves there are others out there like me. Darkside of Disney FOR LiFE. READ HIS BOOKS NOW!Disappointing
2By FluxCrapacitorIf you are a seasoned WDW visitor there is nothing in this book that you don't already know or that can't easily be found elsewhere on the web for free. The highlights are the amusing personal anecdotes and not the 'tips' themselves, but they are few and far between. That said, Mr. Kinsey is clearly someone with much admiration for WDW and Walt Disney, for that he gets my respect.I hate writing reviews BUT

5By Wdpir3This book just rejuvenated my love for Disney World. I was just there in June this year and felt like some of the magic was missing. I now know how to rekindle some of what was missing and I am looking forward to going back. Great read, very informative and entertaining.Awesome
5By ForeverluvjkIf you are a disneyjunkie as I am...you gotta read this book...if you are a disneyjunkie who travels to Walt Disney world quite often and always looking for the best deals from airfare to dining plans...you gotta read this book...if you are a disneyjunkie who wants some inside dirt and well as some hilarious humor(his sense of humor is much like my own)...you gotta read this book! Not that there was any insider tips on any deals that you probably don't know already but I didn't think there were others like me that knew all the ins and outs like I do.....great job writing this book
