DISNEYLAND PARIS September 2024  

by Emmanuel Itier

“The Magic Kingdom” is indeed the perfect name for “Disneyland Paris” ( https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-usd/ ). From the first minutes we reached out to our destination via the bullet train TGV we were transported, at once, into an enchanting land unlocking the child within and ready for the adventures of a lifetime. And adventures we had through the many and various Disney theme sections of the two parks: Disneyland and The Disney Studio. The second was more focused on recent Pixar and Marvel attractions without forgetting to mention the terrifying Tower of Terror forcing you into an insane free fall. Our boys were also under the spell of the Ratatouille mini land which had such a delightful choice of foods from various areas in France. And a “must eat at”, if you can get a reservation, is the Ratatouille restaurant: “Chez Remy”.

At the Disneyland parc, on the other side of this giant property, our favorite ride was the” Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain.” Such a maddening ride, putting you upside down with a complete loop and going clearly at the speed of light. It was raining a little bit that day and we were lucky to have very short lines. We were even able to do Hyperspace Mountain three times in a row in less than 30 minutes. Quite an achievement! Of course, the very special and sweet part of Disneyland is made of all the story books-based attractions such as Peter Pan, Snow White and walking through Sleeping Beauty castle to face a dragon bigger than life!

One of our family’s favorites is the ”Pirates of the Caribbeans” boat ride. It puts your right into the iconic movies led by Johnny Depp. We even ate at Jack’s pirates restaurant and the parrot fish with plantains I had was so yummy. We spent almost 12 hours at the park and our sleeping accommodation, “The Davy Crocket ranch” was a welcome oasis of peace and comfort ( https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-usd/hotels/disneys-davy-crockett-ranch/  ).

Even so you need your own ride, or you can take an uber, I recommend this hotel offering a large cabin for 6 people for a fraction of the price compared to the other Disney hotels. It also has an amazing indoor pool with a cave shaped jacuzzi. After such a long day, the buffet at the ranch is a must to start your evening before landing into a deep sleep full of the wonderful Disney like dreams.

Thank you to the Disneyland Paris press team who was so kind to offer us our complementary tickets. This was a trip that our boys and myself will never forget. So, what are you waiting for?

Go online and book your dreamlike vacation for Disneyland Paris!

Scottsdale Author Joe Reina’s New Novel Follows a Killer Who Gets Away With It

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Shadows over Scottsdale: An Unsolved Murder Mystery," built around a scenario true-crime statistics make uncomfortably familiar: a man commits a devastating crime and simply disappears, leaving investigators and a grieving community with no resolution.

The book follows a character named Robert, who flees the country using forged documents and a cargo ship after an act of destruction that leaves behind, as the publisher describes it, charred remains and an unanswered investigation. The case goes cold. The novel, according to its publisher, is less concerned with the mechanics of the escape than with what happens afterward, to the people left waiting for answers that never come.

Reina, now retired in Scottsdale, spent decades in international business across apparel, footwear, and real estate, with extensive time in Europe and a particular connection to Italy that shaped two earlier books, "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen" and "A Love Affair in Tuscany." "Shadows over Scottsdale" marks a different direction, built instead around the real scale of unsolved homicide in the U.S. The publisher’s materials cite roughly 346,000 unsolved homicides since 1965, with more than a dozen occurring unresolved each day. Separate reporting on the book has cited a figure of about 7,778 murders in 2023 alone, which it similarly frames as more than a dozen a day going unresolved.

"Writing ‘Shadows over Scottsdale’ forced me to confront uncomfortable questions about justice itself," Reina said, according to the announcement. "Too many crimes go unsolved, too many families wait endlessly for answers. I wanted readers to understand that behind every cold case statistic is a real story, real suffering, and real questions that may never be answered."

The publisher positions the novel as an examination of institutional limits as much as a crime story: the toll of a case gone cold on the people who can’t move past it, and what it means for a community when accountability simply never arrives.

"Shadows over Scottsdale" is published by Covenant Books and is available in paperback and hardcover through the publisher’s website and major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.

Cold-case statistics tend to get cited and then forgotten. Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether fiction built directly around that number does more to stick with a reader than the number alone ever does.

Joe Reina’s ‘Lost Masterpieces’ Imagines a Fictional Farewell Among Renaissance Painters

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Lost Masterpieces: Three Paintings, 500 Years A Journey Through Time," built around an imagined scene from Renaissance history: the night before Leonardo da Vinci leaves for Milan, when three fellow painters each hand him a small work carrying a private message.

According to the announcement, those three gifts come from Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Andrea Mantegna, each painting standing in for a different kind of counsel. Botticelli’s piece is described as layered with allegory and coded warnings about power and patronage. Titian’s is framed as warm and sensual, suggesting reinvention and a break from convention. Mantegna’s is austere and classically precise, encoding discipline and endurance. According to the announcement, these three paintings form a wordless exchange between masters, transmitting wisdom, mutual regard, and assurance across generations through visual means.

Reina comes to this material from outside the art world. His career was built in apparel, footwear, and real estate development in Chicago, and the publisher’s materials trace his interest in European history, and in Italy specifically, to years of international business travel. He has published several previous books, including "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen," "A Love Affair in Tuscany," and "Shadows over Scottsdale," before turning to this account of a fictionalized moment at the hinge of the Renaissance.

"I wanted to capture that extraordinary moment when masters speak to each other across time through their work," Reina said in the announcement. "These paintings represent not just gifts, but a conversation about what it means to pursue greatness while remaining grounded in purpose and principle."

The book is published through Covenant Books and is available in hardcover and paperback, as well as through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry is intrigued by novels that build fiction around real historical figures at a specific, dramatized turning point rather than attempting straight biography — the approach succeeds or fails based on how seamlessly the fictional moment integrates with documented historical fact.
