Disney fans have nicknamed my book "the Disney bible."

"Do You Like Fun Facts?"
Hello, I am two time published author Joshua Shaffer. I have many things that I am involved in and I created this webpage to make it easier to see everything I do. Like my books, pins, podcast, magazine articles, and my public relations work for Tinker Bell. It was becoming a pain to have to continually give out multiple websites for all the things that I do. Just come here and find the page you want to go to.
Want me to have a book signing at an event?

Discovering The Magic Kingdom: An Unofficial Disneyland Vacation Guide
This book was referred to as "The Disney Bible" when it was revealed at D23 in 2017. It is 1 1/2 inches thick with 700 pages containing over 3,700 fun facts about Disneyland and Disney Movies. There are also over 750 photos. Click the "See More" button to read more about it or to order one.
If you are in the area, my books can be purchased from the gift shop in the Candy Cane Inn a little south of the Disneyland entrance.

My Fantasy Pins
I started making pins in June 2016. These pins are called Fantasy Pins. They are not pins that are made by Disney, they are made by fans. They are original ideas that are not knock-offs of actual Disney pins. These pins cannot be traded with Cast Members in any Disney parks. So far I have created over 100 designs either for myself or as commissions. I call my shop DTMK Fantasy Pins after my book, Discovering The Magic Kingdom.
Public Relations Manager for Tinker Bell
Gina Rock is the longest flying Tinker Bell in Disneyland history. She flew across the skies for the nightly fireworks from 1983-2005.

Theme Parkology Documentary DVDs
I'm good friends with Jerry Cornell, the producer of the Theme Parkology documentary DVDs. We met as booth neighbors at Mouse-Con #1 in 2015. We are also on the podcast together. He interviewed me for three of his documentaries, "The Enchanted Secrets of Disneyland vol 1," "The World of Disney Pin Trading," and "New Orleans Square."
