Besides being the introduction of the interactive hosts on the cruise, it is also touted as the first commercial cruise line to go through the Panama Canal. The Keepers, working alongside the enigmatic Wayne, are invited to take part in a voyage of the Disney Dream Cruise Ship. Of course, there are the first stirrings of teen love but there are also some new experiences, including the debut of Disney Host Interactive 2.0 with new powers and abilities and the first use of the DHI technology outside of Walt Disney World. The book is somewhat darker as the Keepers face issues that regular teens do, sort of.

The fifth book in the Kingdom Keepers series takes a few new twists as the Keepers enter their mid-teen years. Kingdom Keepers V: Shell Game (The Kingdom Keepers) by Ridley Pearson.If the Overtakers get their way, a power will be unleashed that no one will have the ability to vanquish: Chernabog, dormant for years, is about to have his full powers restored. But the end game is far more complicated and intense than anything the Kingdom Keepers had planned on. The ship sets sail filled with enthusiastic guests and crew, and the battle is on in new and exotic arenas: the beaches of Castaway Cay, the caves of Aruba, the locks of the Panama Canal, Costa Rica's rain forest zip line.

It's believed the Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and are 'stowaways.' Worse: it is believed they have stolen an important journal that once belonged to Walt Disney himself-Finn has been having dreams about this-and that some kind of mission is planned. Only the Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation: nearly every Disney villain is represented onboard the new ship: whether on its decks or in its theaters.

The Fantasy is now the most advanced cruise ship in the world.īut all is not right belowdecks. As the Disney Fantasy joins the cruise fleet, a special treat is in store for guests aboard its inaugural sail from Cape Canaveral to Los Angeles: the Disney Host Interactive teenage guides will be part of the Fantasy crew.įinn, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby are to attend the cruise as celebrity guests, and to perform a ribbon cutting for the DHI server to go live.
