Right off the bat, you can tell that there are going to be discrepancies in the narrative. As they uncover the Magic Kingdom’s treasures, they discover an undeniable magic between them. Why, then, does Luke find himself more drawn to imperfect things like the theme park’s Phantom? A team-building scavenger hunt brings Luke and Ella together. Chip is played by his girlfriend, Cassie, who is perfect in every way. Luke is a fur character, Dale the chipmunk. It should be a dream come true, but Ella no longer believes in dreams. Ella gets to be Cinderella, simply because the shoe fits. When the character actors at Disney World go on strike, the teens hired as replacements learn that it isn’t exactly the Happiest Place on Earth. One chapter is Ella’s experience and the next chapter is Luke’s. The book is told from the point-of-view of the lead characters in alternating chapters. I understand why he made those changes, but it bothered me enough that it tainted the books.ĭream Factory takes place during the summer of 2006 (if you do a little theme parkeology) at Walt Disney World during the Cinderellabration event. While I enjoyed the Kingdom Keepers series ( you can read my reviews here), I was always dismayed at the liberties that Pearson took when describing the physical locations. I am not a big fan of fiction that takes place at a Disney theme park. Dream Factory by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler.
