Where do you see KK4?

I realize you have not read KK3 -- but let's assume it's nearly complete, and that it takes place primarily in Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Let's assume that most of the Kingdom Keepers are still alive by the end of book 3. As a reader, where would you like to "go" in KK4, and why? (think Disney parks, near and far; think Disney Cruises; Disney On Ice...)

location, location, location

I'll be reading your comments carefully....

HOLD ON!!!
What exactly do you mean by, "Let's assume that most of the Kingdom Keepers are still alive.."???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!
If any of them die, it would be horrible! But as long as they all live, i guess it would be cool to see them expand to Paris, Anaheim, or the Cruise lines..
I don't really know much about the Disney on Ice, so i'm probably not much help in that dept..
I still think each location should have its own DHIs, but through the magic of Disney, they can all understand each other, and they can chose which park they want to be in!

PS: Please dont kill off any of the KKs!

DISNEY LAND: PARIS! I can see it now....
Wayne sending the KK's an urgent message, telling them they must go to Disney Paris. They arrive there, only to discover it wasn't really Wayne, but Ursula, who stole his voice! The Kingdom Keepers have to find Wayne, and rescue Disneyland Paris before it's too late. And they're not alone. They realize that Wayne was right- there are DHI's in every disney park. They team up with the Paris DHI's and save disney from the Overtakers!!!!
What do you think, Ridley?

Great topic idea Ridley!

In KK2 I believe it was mentioned that DHIs for Disneyland and the cruise ships were being developed. The overall concept of cruise ships sounds good, but I think it'll be 'fairly' (my attempt at a pun) easy to run out of things to do there. There is the island, and the Ghost Ship, but I'm not sure what else. I'm sure you could come up with a bunch more stuff to do on the ships though!

The other resorts all around the world would be a really cool expansion to the series, and considering the uniqueness of DisneySea in Tokyo, as well as the Shanghai Disneyland project waiting for approval (which apparently would be different than a regular Magic Kingdom-type park in terms of theming and layout), and that would leave you with nearly endless possibilities for plots. Language however could be a big barrier when it comes to other resorts, and may make it confusing.

I really don't know much about Disney On Ice, so I won't give an opinion on that. However, I really like Expederest's idea of having a mixture within all four theme parks of Walt Disney World, it would be spectacular! That would definitely be one of my favorite choices.

I LOVE the idea of going to Disneyland. It is the heart of the Disney Parks and more importantly, the birthplace of Disney magic. If KK4 is going to be the last book in the series (which I hope it won't be) I think it should take place there. I've always imagined Disneyland as the location where the series ends for some reason.

Wherever you take the series, I was wondering if you were going to be adding new DHIs to different resorts, like you had the animals be DHIs in AK. Not saying I'd want the focus to shift from Finn and the other KKs, just wondering if others kids local to the resorts would be added, or if new international 'sound tracks' of the host's taping would be recorded for the original DHIs in areas with different languages. It's been a pretty big topic of discussion on DHIDiscussion...

I know I talked a whole lot, but I loved the topic idea! Thanks for posting it Ridley!

When Ridley put "Let's assume that most of the kingdom keepers are still alive." he was just kidding. Ridley wouldn't let one of the kk die. It's just to make people interested in it.

Also how about the kk go to one of the other parks, like Disneyland. While they are there they meet the other DHI's. Later on they find out that the DHI's are evil overtakers in disguise. Maybe one of them could be the evil dude Charlene falls in love with.

I also like the cruise ship idea. I've been on the cruise ships 6 times already. It would be so cool having the KK running around Castaway Cay (Disney's private island) looking for clues. And maybe while their on the ship they could be attacked by pirates or Ursula.

I'm out of ideas.

I see KK4 as being the last in the series, actually, and in Disneyland, because that's the HQ of the "magic". Or maybe it could be all the kingdoms, global. Maybe it could be divided into five books, one for each kingdom (disneyland, disney world, disney paris, disney tokyo, and get disney shanghai to be approved). And maybe the five kingdoms could somehow connect with the five kks. idk. go kk!

HOLD UP THERE RIDLEY.... kk4?!?!?!?!?!?!? u know how much that would complete my life if you wrote a fourth kk book?!?!?! :) Anyways, going back to the topic, here are my suggestions. (Sorry if i stole any ideas from anyone else. I didn't read any other comments on the blog!!!):

1. I think you should keep it relatively in Disney World. Try to focus on MGM alot and a little Epcot. There's a new American Idol thing out. GREAT IDEA- I think the kks have to audition to find the next clue, whatever that is in the story. (That would be funny seeing them trying out!! Maybe Maybeck is the one who gets through and Charlene is steamed that she didn't. Then she makes excuses to the other kks that she didn't have any water before. hahaha!!! ok i'm stopping. :))

2. If this is the final book to the series (tear tear), you should combine the story not only with Disney World but with Disneyland too. That park is the reason Disney World exists! Maybe Maleficent wants more power so she goes to California, or something or other... I sometimes forget that you are the writer :).

3. My next suggestion would be not to go all over the globe for the kks. I think Disney World and Disneyland are good but going to farther is enough for me. I don't think the cruise line would be a good idea too. I like having the attractions/rides around the kks as obstacles (thunder mountain- the dinosaur; small world- the dolls... get my flow???)

Well, HOPE THERE'S A KK4!!!!!!!! Consider everyone's opinions!!!

I like Catherine's idea, about Disney Broadway, and the AI experience. I was thinking the same thing.
Also, maybe KK4 could skip several years, and they're all grown up, but reunited in Disneyland, and have to fight the Overtakers one last time. That also might tie in with someone dying as well.

How about they go into the movies, like a paraelle dimension! What could happen is that at the end of KK3, the servers are switched and they are sent into Walt Disney's greatest films (101 Dalmations, Snow White, Fantasia, all of the good ones) and they have to find a way out! How cool would that be! And at the last moment of the book, Finn sacrifices hiself to save the Kingdom Keepers so they can get out (how heroic). Talk about a cliffhanger. Then you can write KK5 and that can be the final saga.
P.S. Nice "let's assume that most of the KK are still alive" joke! Great use of sarcasm
P.S.S. Now I see what you mean by that! One of the Kingdom Keepers is going to be stuck as a DHI...spoiler!
P.S.S. I think you should make Amanda and Jess "magically" get entered into the DHI computer and they become DHI's too. That way, they won't be left out

Hmmm... I think the water parks would be pretty interesting... And Downtown Disney, too. I'd be cool to have to find clues on water rides. Good part is that they're DHI's, so they won't get affected by the water. Unless you want to make it that they get messed up when touched by water in their DHI forms. But then that would interfere with Jez being a DHI in KK2 and the rain going straight through her. Downtown Disney would be fun because there's the Rainforest Cafe, which the animals could come to life; it'd be like a replay of Animal Kingdom. Also, there's LegoWorld. If it's still there, there's a big dinosaur in the water made out of legos. It'd be awesome to see those things come to life. And in LegoWorld, there's a playground made out of legos. That could be used as a secret hide-out, though the location is pretty obvious. And Ridley, I'm hoping you keep EVERYONE alive!!!!! I'll be devasted if you don't. Unless it's Rob. That changes everything. :D

Here's another thing:
What is the farthest Disney park from Florida? DISNEY JAPAN!
How hilarious would it be if the DHI's were sent to Japan and they don't know the language! That would be funny
Also the Disney Japan is based after The Little Mermaid. Imagine the things hiding in the waterfalls (Wayne!) and stuff. Scuba diving wouldn't be too bad
P.S. I still like my other idea
P.S.S. There are tones of awesome ideas here, so I'm going to think the Head Keeper (Ridley Pearson, of course) is going to have a SUPER hard time. Good luck!

Philby: ?
Maybeck: ?
Jess: Um...I can't think of song, but a little snippet from U + Ur Hand is good ("I'm not here for your entertainment, I'm not here for your entertainment, you don't really want to mess with me tonight, Just stop and take a second, I was fine before you walked into my life, Cause you know it's over, Before it began) by Pink

Great ideas guys.

Meg, I love the idea of the flash-forward! Maybe not for all of KK4, but I'd love a good Epilogue! :)

Hmm... I seem to disagree with a few people here about the whole KK-death thing. Not sure if you meant to have it sound like that Ridley, but regardles, I'd be pretty okay with one of the KKs dying, as long as it's sad and dramatic, it would be a great addition to the story. My gut would tell me it's Wayne who kicks the bucket...

Panda, Tokyo DisneySEA isn't based off the little mermaid. There IS a little mermaid land within the park, but the park itself is actually based on water and waterfronts. Good idea though. I also like the idea of the DHIs journeying into the Character World. That thought has been on my mind for a while...

But I ramble...

I think they the kks should go on the cruise lines to get to different disney lands all over the world and then in the last book go back to hollywood studios and have a "battle to the death" with all of the overtakers at once.

Also, going back to an idea I had ages ago-
Along with Meg's 'future' idea, possibly the KK's are celebrating their Disney Grad Nite Party when all 'Heck' breaks lose, Overtaker-wise. This could be a pretty cool final-battle idea.
One last fight before they begin the rest of their lives.

Personally, I like what "KingdomKeepersRock!" said about the 4th KK book taking place in Disneyland, California. Mostly because I live in Southern California, but also because there would be many more things linking to Walt Disney, because Walt Disney frequently went to Disneyland, and also because he never lived to see the finished construction of Disneyworld.

There are a few ways the crew could end up in Disneyland:

1. They traveled for the grand opening of DHIs in Disneyland.

2. The 3rd book ends with Wayne being taken to Disneyland by the Overtakers (he's already kidnapped) and they need to go there to follow a series of clues to find Wayne.

3. The crew needs to find out more history about Walt Disney so they go to Disneyland.

4. There is a new technology that enables the DHIs to cross over to any park of their choosing, and they need to go to Disneyland for one of the other reasons.

5. At the end of the 3rd novel, Maleficent teleports the crew (as DHIs) to Disneyland, as the real crew has SBS (Sleeping Beauty Syndrome, for those of you who have no idea whatsoever). The only way to escape SBS while they are in Disneyland, is to do something special, (Ridley is very creative, he can figure out what they need to do).

I hope these are ideas worth reading, and most of them require the 3rd book to end in a cliffhanger, getting the crew to Disneyland somehow, (which, in my opinion, having the end of the 3rd novel be a cliffhanger, would be really awesome!)

I kinda want the book to stay in WDW and the studios would be good if u had already used the other 3 parks. Downtown Disney, i think would be great, especially scince the kk's are older. It might work to go to Paris, hong kong, and the other countries, (sorry im just so connected to WDW) but dont do disney on ice because i dont think enough know a lot about it. And the cruise is cool but i defenitly dont think it is the right setting for ur book

9:14 PM  
Blogger Michael said...

Your welcome, Panda, and thanks "KingdomKeepersRock" for the support, but these are all great ideas, and I am not just leaning towards Disneyland. I don't think the setting on a Disney Cruise is too great of an idea, because it is kind of restricted to whatever is on the ship, which is guest rooms, the outside deck(s), and all the places where the employees work and lounge. A trip to Disneyland Tokyo would be really neat for the Keepers. I think the very specific places like "Disney On Ice" is not enough to write a book about.

I think KK4 should be set in another park because, in my opinion, Walt Disney World is out of [general] places to go. I am leaning towards Disneyland though, because of all its connections to Walt Disney.

I wouldn't mind it being in Disneyland Paris. I think the castle there is the best castle out of all.

Under the castle is a dungeon, where there's a dragon. Seeing as it's Sleeping Beauty Castle, I would assume it's Maleficent.

Oh, and it's close by to me. I'd just need to get the Eurostar :p

Disneyland would be nice since it's the original park, and again the castle is Sleeping Beauty Castle.

As an idea on how to use these, maybe they've each signed up to go on some field trip to the area with their schools, and "coincidentally" something's happening in the park nearby that they need to sort out.

I personally think it should stay within the Diseny World area. I perhaps the cruise would be okay. But, i mean... Disneyland, though first, has less to offer. I also think, for the fact fo integral perposes, if you wanted to go to disneyland, do it after you cover all of the Disneyworld Parks, like a location pattern/series. EXAMPLE: if your flying around the world,currently in Paris France and the only two stops left on your list are Rome Italy and Paris Texas,you're not gonna fly to Texas just to fly back to Rome. Just an oppinion. I do think Disney Quest and the rest of the Downtown Disney area has poential. Can you imagine the Kingdom Keepers via Crique De Sole?

In KK4, I think the Kingdom Keepers should get a free vacation for the opening of the DHI'S at both the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic.

The KK's arrive at the port saying goodbye to their parents as they board the ship. Once on board, The KK's get prepared for the The Golden Mickeys, after they honor the villains and heroes in Disney history, the KK's come out for the first view of their DHIs on seas! Unfortunately, the lights go out and the ship starts to tilt, alerting the attendees. The KK's can't believe its happening! After the wild ride, the KK's discuss the accident, as they stand next to a large, glass screen, Maybeck looks out and swears he saw octopus tentacles, and left behind is a nautilis shell. The KK's alert the lifeguards that they saw octopus tentacles and that the accident could have been caused by the octopus, then they ask if its possible to board a boat to grab the shell. The worker laughed.... What happens next?

i think it would be really really awewsome if they go to Disneyland in California... since it was actually the first Disney park of Walt Disney. They all could be on a adventure there, because they are going to bring the DHI technology to Disneyland and they go there to support it or something.. that would be awesome!! and then they could go to california adventure.. I thnk they should definitly go to Disneyland!!

There are so many areas that you didn't cover in the first or second book, possibly even the third book. I like the idea someone already posted about having it take place in all of the parks.

looking forward to the new books!

There are about 4 ideas I am in love with that have already been posted.

1. Characters being transported into Walts greatest Disney Movies.
2. Disneyland
3. DisneySea in Tokyo
4. All 4 of the WDW parks ending in a huge, intense, on the edge of your seat action packed final battle. ( only if its the last kk book of course, in which case...no!!! write more!)

I do agree with MGM, but I also like Disneyland (CA) and Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Line. But I think the ultimate (besides MGM) would be Tokyo Disneyland/Disney Sea. ESPECIALLY the Disney sea part. There is something very mysterious and fantastic about that park from The Mermaid Lagoon and Journey to the center of the earth to The amazing braviSEAmo, which could easily go horribly wrong. The park is the PREFECT setting for stories of mystery and adventure! Either MGM or Tokyo Disney Sea! (or both)

Kingdom Keepers 4 should still take place in walt disney world. It should take place in Magic Kingdom, MGM, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom. It would just be really cool to read about the Kingdom Keepers chasing more of Jez's dreams around in all of the 4 parks. It should take place at night in the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. It would just be really cool. Then MGM and Animal Kingdom can be during the day. Right now i am out of more ideas.

please do not kill any of the kingdom keepers off!

I think that they should take a Disney Cruise to Disneyland, because Disneyland was the only park Walt got to see and make, so you could easily make a story about how he built in secret things that, because he knew the Overtakers would come to power, could help the KK save Disneyland.
By the way, please let the KK's live.

I would definitely follow the design that disney is now following with their expansion.

But a visit to the WestCoast to Disneyland and California adventure shouldn't be avoided. (especially considering that the Keepers programs is expanding WITH Disney)I mean, if you look at the story arc (that we as readers have seen) there is a "deep magic" that is being pulled through. So, we all know that there HAS to be some Walt secret that can only be answered at his originial park. Perhaps a hidden time capsule in the iconic statue that centers all the "lands" to mainstreet. (ps, I'd like a shoutout if that idea is used... lol) Or perhaps, a secret so deadly, that it could be used to warp or enhance Walt's true vision of the parks.(if the pen was the wand, then what is the 'hat' in the sorcerer's apprentice?) The destruction of imagination or the liberation of true magic...

Then again, you can always have something along the lines of raising a villian from the ocean & would need the cruise line to complete that circuit. A typhoon that puts the REAL keepers in danger? ie, Disney offers the keepers a cruise for them and their families for the 'send-off' of the new DHIs around the world. Using that concept, you have means to introduce MANY new keepers and interchange some character romance. Can you say long-distance love triangle? MWHAHAHA!

*shrugs* Anywhoski, hope that helps... some?

ok, hold it. what do you mean 'assuming MOST of them are alive' ???? anyway, i think it should mostly be in mgm but it would be cool if they could go to anaheim (disneyland) and talk to some imagineers about the riddle. also maybe to the disney private island or walt's home town(some place in kansas?)
if you have to .... 'dismiss' a charectar, maybe amanda or charlie, and the kk's have to find them. wayne is the (cringe) best person that can 'die' becuase it leaves a bit of mystery about him. i think that disney on ice could be a awesome 'battle' scene too.

Disney Cruise, then they can't escape! Please don't take it to like China or Cali, it would ruin the Disney WORLD magic.

Also, to add to that, The disney cruise is going to have tour guides(the kids) so they all get a free cruise with their parents, it departs from NYC, so they get their the night before, and see a show on Disney On Broadway, maybe Little Mermaid and Ursla, can attack them, or king triton fires lightning at them, then it continues on to the ship, and one of the stage shows is Herculues, so maybe one of the really strong Gods could attack them!

well heres my idea when ever you write the last book they should be in the magic disneyland were it all started or even walts original home town in illinois i think because he first drew mickey at his old school house so they have a final fight between the villians and the kk's just saying wanye VS maleficent would be awesome
but like for your books idk how many you would make mgm the ships oh and

i think disney has camp ground im not sutre but liek the overtakers could hold the kk's captive in the campground and have like the animal villians from the movies be there like kerchak from tarzan scar from lion king and the queen of hearts could be in charge ok it because well she controlled wonderland which was kinda like a forest ok anyway um the hotels walt could of left plans for ppl to leave different items or objects or something in the hotels and they have to try to find them.

and include disney land in one of your books if you can like maybe dosnet it have a sword in the stone like at WDW well ive never been but what if finn like pulled out the sword and faught maleficent or someone with it just saying thats all i have for now

well how about the disney campground like the overtakers trap the KK's there and they are liek stuck in there for a number of days maybe and they have to face animal disney villians kerchak friom tarzan scar from lion king and there led by queen of hearts bc she controlled wonderland which was like a giant forest in some parts and here is a little twist also stuck in the campground are some good disney chracters like blue from jungel book pooh piglet those guys, bambi,thumper,simba,the white rabit, you get the picture thats all i have to say right now

I personally think a location for most or at least some of the kk4 book should take place on a Disney cruise ship and on the private island (Castaway Cay). I myself have been on the cruise ship, Disney Wonder, and it's a perfect oppurtunity, with all the crew and cast memebers on the boat, being stuck at sea, that would be awesome. But it's just a suggestion. Let's not forget the overtakers on the ship would lead to an awesome chase around the ship if there were one. Oh and, DON'T TERMINATE ANY OF THE KKs PUH-LEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ridley,

(which i hope you write :)
I think that the next book should be centered around all four of the disney parks like more of the rides like the first book as well as putting in lots of details of the parks,the hotels, downtown disney(especially disney quest), the water parks(maybe) or you should have it be based on disneyland, since it was the birthplace of disney, and have more in depth parts in the story about walt disney.

Ps. Hope there will still be a movie for Kingdom Keepers 1.

Tokyo DisneySea, because the potential for adventure there is endless, and an adventure there with the Kingdom Keepers would be good to tide me over until i'm older and can go there - their unique Tower of Terror, Ariel's Grotto, the 20, 000 leagues thing, the volcano, alladin/agrabah stuff, and the giant ship ------ the adventure possibility is endless! and it is the most distinct Disney park.

All the Disneyland parks in California, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong are all quite similar, and although they have enough distinctions to make visits to them different from one another, it seems limited in book possibility.

California Adventure is in the million of a billion-dollar re-focus (so it'd be best to write about after the reno's are complete), and Walt Disney Studios Paris is also similar to Disney's Hollywood Studios in WDW.

DisneySea is the most unique and would blow my mind. =) =) =)

I think that it would be awesome to include something like a sort of chase for all the Hidden Mickey's in all the parks. I liked the idea in the first one of going throughout the different rides to find the spray painted clues. (I actually "borrowed" the 3-D glasses from Philharmagic just to see if it would work.) And since the Hidden Mickeys are such a big phenomenon, it seems like a cool idea. Plus it gives you a chance to see the newly added rides like Toy Story Mania or The Laugh Floor come to life, or even rides that weren't in the first two. I think there is also a bigger picture of Disney Parks around the world. Like Disneyland Has some unique rides like Indiana Jones, and Resort in Paris has Journey To The Center Of The Earth. It could be a great opportunnity to expand outside of Disney World.

I think that if you take them out of the actual parks where the first novel originally set up the story, it could screw up the series.
I think you're entering rough waters ahead, Mr. Pearson, and if you're going to relocate the characters to another location, it needs to be done with the same spirit and brand as the original and its sequel.

That being said, if the characters were to be relocated in their battle to keep Disney safe, I'd say go for Disneyland and California Adventure first. The differences between that park and WDW down in Orlando could set up some serious situations and adventures for the kids. You could compare and contrast- Maleficent might want to pick up some henchmen from the sister park across the country.

Or if the Disneyland idea is a bummer, send them off on the Disney Cruise Line. That could always be a thrilling novel in itself. Who knows what terror Maleficent can raise at sea? Desert islands, sharks, icebergs- there's no limit to the power of evil, especially in Disney.

Well thats my two cents. Good luck with the book, and I can't wait for KK3...

Okay here's my pitch! I decided to do some image searches for ideas and found a pretty neat site:

http://www.plan-a-magical-vacation.com/aerial-disney.html

It has aerial shots all 4 parks, including the Grand Floridian and the Beach Club! I noticed that the resorts and parks seem to almost be connected by small creeks that link up all of the larger bodies of water (not much in the Magic Kingdom though...). This could be a cool way for the KKs to get from park to park without losing their golden passes!

I can't necessarily see them getting on the cruise ship or traveling to Tokyo (UNLESS... their in DHI form!! -gasps-)

But, I think it would be cool to include Disneyland as it was Walt's original park. One huge yet secret element Disneyland has over Disney World is Club 33.

For anyone who doesn't know, Club 33 is a private club located in the heart of the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland. Walt Disney created Club 33 as special place was needed where he could entertain visiting dignitaries and others in a quiet. Nowadays it is used by celebrities and other people of high status to hide away with their families while enjoying the magic of Disney.

When riding Pirates of the Caribbean, just as the ride departs, the Blue Bayou restaurant is visible, but the balconies above it are actually a part of Club 33.

-Website: http://www.disneylandclub33.com/

Those are just a few of my ideas! It's very cool that you ask your readers their opinions on the books! Thank you for listening to us!

I think that it would be amazing if the Kingdom Keepers could travel to Disneyland/California Adventures. The way they could end up there is that they needed to record new DHI's for the park. The Kingdom Keepers wouldn't have to move there, just stay for a quick vacation while they record their DHI's. While at the parks, the Kingdom Keepers could end up at unique rides to the Disneyland parks, including Indiana Jones, the pirate lair on Tom Sawyer Island, California Screamin', and the Storybook Boats. It would be a great place to keep looking for the Stonecutter's Quill because Disneyland is the place where it all began! Thanks, and good luck on the fourth installment!

They should go to New York. I think it would be cool to have the KKs chasing malificent around Broadway. In NY people wouldn't find it weird to have someone walking around dressed like a Disney villian. Plenty of strange things happen in NY and it's all a normal day to New Yorkers. Perhaps the KKs could be on a promo tour and have an appearance on Good Morning America (Disney owns ABC, after all).

I'd also like to see them go to some of the other areas around Disney World like Fantasia mini golf, or Boardwalk area. There are some great, lesser known attractions that people might like to know more about. Such as the light parade on Bay Lake that goes from resort to resort. That could be a way to signal overtakers lurking at the resorts.

Another area I think it would be cool to go to is the old River Country. It's closed now and I think it would be a great hang out for overtakers to gather and plan. I've never been, but I bet it's creepy just because it's been closed for so long.

If you are looking for distant places, the Disney cruise would be cool. Especially with The Flying Dutchman there. I've been to Castaway Cay and it's really remote. There's plenty of places to roam. I bet it's spooky at night. Maybe the ship winds up in Hawaii where Disney is building a new resort.

I'm not sure how I feel about going to the parks in other countries. Part of the fun is knowing all the places the KKs are running around to.

I'd really like them to be in Hollywood Studios if the third book takes primarily in the third book because it's my favorite park after Magic Kingdom, sorry my opinion there, but anyway, I'd like to see them go to that Fantasmic show as one of the Anonymous suggested in the beginning. The showdown would be awesome but it'd be cool in my opinion, if they go to Disneyland or something like that but since it's not Disney World, I'll say I'd like them to go to maybe a Water Park since it is mentioned in the book and I think it's pretty cool and I'd think Blizzard Beach would be a fun place to fight or maybe Downtown Disney, now that's some place! But otherwise, I think it's fine with Disney Hollywood Studios because it would fit to the parks you wrote about in the Disney World area resort (aside from several locations not related to the theme parks like the Wide World Complex) and yeah, I think it'd be great that maybe they'll discover something there but you can go wherever you feel it's best as well. As a reader of the Kingdom Keeper series, I guess I would love to see myself following Finn and his friends' adventures in Disney Hollywood Studios again since you do mention it in the first two books....so yeah, Disney Hollywood Studios would be my choice for the fourth book! If the characters DO die, that'd be terrible, hopefully it's for a good cause otherwise, I think the
Just my opinion but do whatever you want/please, just don't disappoint the readers too much!!!
And if not in Disney World, Disneyland or Disneyland Paris would be nice! :)

I think having the KKs, and Amanda and Jez, going to Broadway would be awesome! Not only is New York cramped wit people that wont care if they see disney villians around and there are many good places for them to hide.

i would want the fourth book to be in the fourth park in disney. why put in the other three parks if you werent going to include hollywood studios???
Also, KEEP THE KKs ALIVE!!!!!!!!

I think it should be in MGM. MGM has a lot of stuff that would make a good story. Don't kill any of the DHIs!!!! (please) My favorite character is Philby.

Hi Ridley!!!
My mom and I love the Kingdom Keepers!!! I am the fellow St. Louisian that sent you the picture of me and my KK1 book report for school. anyway.
1)I think that you should do the resorts 4 KK4. I think that would be cool. At disney world at the beach club (one of the resorts) there is this SWEET water slide at the pool that is on a "pirate ship" and maybe finn could meet one of his enemies on there and then everything would go downhill-er slide (haha bad joke) from there. if you go to the hollywood studios you kinda already went there in KK1 to get the pens. that was a big part of the story.
2)another idea is that they could go 2 Kansas City and other places walt lived. or they could go back in time to "grow up" with walt. maybe they could get clues there...?
don't kill any of the kk's!!! but that hatches another idea out of the egg. you said that"Let's assume that most of the Kingdom Keepers are still alive.." maybe if one of the DHI's dies. not really. that is what people think... dundundaaaaa the overtakers strike again!!!! maybe maybeck could be stolen because in KK1 he was taken and hidden in space mountain. then they go into walt's life (which corresponds into idea #2) and get clues from there..................

ps- stay in disney world!! it would totally ruin the book if it was somewhere else!!!(other than walt's life. that's a cool idea.)

pps- for KK3, my mom said that maybe with the new spaceship earth renovation, you know at the end you choose your story and all that and then you get off the ride and your faces show up on that screen at the end of that hall where all that fun stuff is? maybe maleficent's face could show up there and tell the DHI's something.

THE KINGDOM KEEPERS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, there should be a LOT of KK books kinda like the babysitters club series, or the boxcar children... this could be a HUGE series, bc there r LOTS of places that disney has 2 offer. maybe for later in the series (hopefully there WILL be more) one of the DHI's parents is a disney vacation club member and they go on one of those vacation places like in italy or france.............

i no that lots of people r wanting disneyland, but y aren't u guys wanting disney world? there lots parks there like the water parks or downtown disney r lots of other places in the mk ridley didn't mention.............

Thank you

Ok, more comments...

1. If KK3 takes place mainly in Epcot, then they should go to Hollywood studios/MGM

2. If its going to be the last book, they should end defeating the otakers in Magic Kingdom, with diffrent rides and stuff.

3. If you do expand beyond the parks, you should stay in Florida. I mean, how are they supposed to sneak out from their parents onto a cruise ship or to paris??? It should go to Blizzard Beach if you decide to expand so they can still find a way to avoid supicion from their parents.

4. Sorry about the long post! just one little rule no matter where they go...
KEEP ALL THEY KKs (plus Amanda and Jess) ALIVE!!!! PLEASE!!!

Dear Ridley,
I am overjoyed and cant wait for KK3, I shall get it at Midnight. Ill bring it to my first day of middleschool, and read it all day long! Anywho, I think you should get involved with DisneyLand, my friends and I have a blog all abotu your books, IrishFinneganFan is a member. I have been thinking of a scene, it would take place at a Disney On Ice show, and the Overtakers would be skating and so would the DHI's and the audience thinks it is all apart of a production...thats all I have so far, I hope the series goes far! -Your Friend Abby a.k.a abbygator2007.

I think it is a very bad idea to have any of the kks dead. All of them worked together and are still very young.

In kks4, I think the kks should sail in the Disney Cruise and open up minds for the readers. Personaly I have sailed on the Disney Cruise and it was a magical adventure. There would be a lot of things to describe that will catch the readers attention. I used to go to Disney on Ice when I was little and it was fun. Since maleficant was the head overtaker for the parks, Ersala should be the head overtaker for sea.

P.S. See you at book signing at Disny!

I LOVE THE KK BOOKS SOOOO MUCH!!! These are my favorite books ever and I am not exagerating. Ridley I thank you so much for writing a KK3 and 4! I plead you to continue with a 5th, a 6th, and maybe up to a 10th. I love all your books and when I heard this news about the KKs I screamed and my sister screamed with me (in a good way)!
MUCH THANKS!!!

DISNEYLAND! PLEASE DISNEYLAND! WDW always gets more attention, but it's only got the second park, not the first! But as much as I want to see it in California, I'm not really sure how you'll work it unless it's a spinoff with new DHIs or Finn moves. If you go around the world, it can work better as there are kids who get selected to go to stuff like that on a program called People To People

I've been very busy with school and I haven't had a chance to read KK2. However, when I do read it, I'm sure I'll be left speechless.

I think KK4 should take place in Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. If KK3 is going to be in Epcot, Hollywood Studios should be left for the last book, in which we see Fantasmic! as the final scene of KK5. I love your writing and I cannot wait to read KK2.

I agree with the cruise ship, they could go through the Bermuda Triangle and like Edward Cullen said with Ursla stealing wayne's voice. I haven't read the second because its checked out at the library, but it will be awesome!

Anonymous Hailey said...

oh my gosh!!!!!! You have emailed me before and told me about kk3 but kk4 amazing!!!!!! i did read the post about kk5 and i would gladly participate in the making of it. If i could give any ideas as to where kk4 would be i would think that Finn and his friends would all be going on summer vacation and they think they are going their seperate ways but soon they relize wayne set up the whole thing and they all get on a disney cruise ship and they have to battle their way home because maleficent captures control of the boat and is holding them hostage. That is my oppinion though and to be completely honest i dont care what kk4 is about as long as its based on the magical world of disney thanks for listening

by the way i think they could also go to disneyland california and team up with those DHIs and save the park

love Edward Cullen...'s idea (tho i'm not really a vampire fan) about the PAris thing and stealing Wayne's voice, but I think they need to go to MGM and DISNEYLAND (someday, tho, I would prefer more books for all of the locations)

Hollywood Studios because i mayhave more danger with the attractions Star tours,Fantasmic so you can fight Maleficent and Chernabog Tower Of Terror And Such


Or Disneyland because it was the first of all The Disney Parks and the only onw Walt disney ever stepped foot in

And if you go on the Cruise ships have like Davy Jones from the Pirates Of The Caribbean Movies appear with Maleficent and take the ship over

(Portor leans riverside is a great idea!)

go to Epcot and the hall of presidents could be destroyed and more overtakers could be differant people from around the world.
