My Dream Come True
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope all of you are doing well! I am doing good, but I believe that I can do better! Also, I put up new images here on some of my Monsters and Magic stories & specials here. My mother ordered the custom made shirts, I paid for them… and I have to say, they look and feel good! So, what do you think?
Before I do anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to God! Jesus, thank you for helping me and guiding me & my family! The Enemy and his minions have been trying to hit us all around, but we endured and it was you God who helped us in rising above them! Thank you Lord for helping me to get off my lazy butt and to get back writing again! I am grateful for your grace, your Word and Will that have strengthened me, helped me to prepare… and also to help me to stand firm in what I truly believe in. And that is you! Thank you Jesus Christ, thank you!
I am glad and grateful for the things Jesus has done in my life, for my family, for my friends and beyond! I am extremely far from perfect and still have a lot to do, but I want to continue my daily routine in obeying God and getting off my lazy butt to do what He says. Like helping my friends, such as any of you here at this site! And so much more! And also praying that Disney stays on the path of the straight and narrow, to stay with God.
This chapter is more of what I have to offer when it comes to my Monsters and Magic series. I really believe that my novels and specials are what the Disney and Toho companies need. Still no word from Disney World Animation Studios, and it has been at least three months since I mailed in my seventh letter.
Also, still hoping and looking for someone to do either a YouTube video review on any of my Disney/Toho novels or specials. And also searching for anyone will to do art that depicts my stories, like my friend Neshma Hernandez from Puerto Rico did when she made me those Monsters and Magic drawings.
Now, here is a special that I hope you all like! And I hope to see more reviews from you on any of my Disney/Toho specials and novels!
Here are some rides and other attractions that have come up in my head regarding the Monsters and Magic novels, three attractions for each park! Which means, twelve features in all! These rides are open all the seasons, while the big-time shows you saw in the previous chapter only come up for three months. I hope you like my ideas!
Now, on with the rides and attractions!)
Magic Kingdom
Monsters and Magic: Transport to Adventure- This is an attraction that I based off from the park's popular destination stop, Mickey's PhilharMagic. It is a 3-D film attraction that follows what happened in the novel. The outside shows the Monsters and Magic insignia, being held in the grip of Godzilla's claws, and showing the name of the attraction. It is located in Adventure Land.
Before the show starts, we have the Twin Fairies voices come over the speakers that instruct the rules that are set for when the patrons enter the building. Which is no eating, drinking, smoking or using flash photography during the show. Also a warning that the show maybe too intense for young ones, and to either stay beside them at all times or to lead them out of the theater for their own safety and for the courtesy of others nearby.
When the show starts, the lights dim down and the audience is told to put the 3-D glasses on. Coming up on the screen are the Twin Fairies, looking like they did in the 1961 Toho film Mothra! The small exotic twin ladies welcome everyone to the show, and tells them that they are going to be taken back in the time. To see with their own eyes on how Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, Biolantte, Megalon, Ebriah, Titanosaurus and themselves landed in the Disney universe. After the introduction, they disappear and the show starts… with the audience seeing that they are in the middle of a kaiju fight! Special effects are put into place, such as the patrons getting sprayed with water due to special sprayers located in the back of each chair during the water fight scenes, and also the seats rumbling add more realism in the battle!
The audience than gets transported with the monsters to the Disney universe, but the Twin Fairies arrive to sever the magical connection. There, the audience seemingly falls from the sky and is about to impact into the ground when the fairies save them once more. They ask if they liked the trip, and the patrons are back on the road again as they soon witness Godzilla and the others coming to save the day when they engage against Shadowsneak and his bandit group! Once the bandits are clear of the area, the audience get to see Melody and the children of the Disney couples first. Melody invites them to share in the adventure, but to also not tell their parents yet.
The show continues with night quickly changing to day, and the scenery changes to the beach area. It is there that the patrons meet the monsters, who are now human sized. The bonded come in, followed by their mothers and the children from the village. Ariel and the others welcome the audience, and the Toho legends… but all are ambushed by wolves and bears! The audience gets blasted with wind as Rodan flaps his wings to keep the mammals at bay, while the onlookers hide behind Anguirus. The patrons soon see Godzilla taking on the bears, while Mothra webs up the wolves. When the battle is soon done, Cinderella thanks the kaiju for all of their efforts and it is Melody that invites all over for her party.
The scene changes to show Melody's 13th birthday party in full swing, with some cool music playing and the guests dancing all over. It lasts for some time until the arrival of Shadowsneak and his minions once more who have captured the queens, but Godzilla and his fellow monsters save the day once more by scaring them to release Ariel and the others. And another battle starts, this time with the audience being sprayed by fruit punch that is being tossed around with the chairs vibrating very much from all the movement. The bandits are soon defeated, and everyone comes forth to greet the monsters up close. That is when the intense part of the show begins!
Maleficent soon appears, along with her own gigantic new beasts! Appearing is Megalon, Titanosaurus, Ebriah and Biolantte! The audience gets wet once more from each Toho introduction that rises up from the water. The Twin Fairies urge everyone to follow Godzilla and the others, the saurian taking them all up with Melody & Tracy as they retreat. The patrons see Maleficent capturing the kings and queens, and soon arrive at the secret area that hides them from the witch. The scene lasts for a few moments, than help arrives in the form of Fairy Godmother Cateline and Rosalie! And popping up behind them are the Seven Dwarves along with the Charming mice!
The scene changes to show the audience breaking into Maleficent's new abode, than freeing the captive kings and queens. The alarm is raised, and yet again the patrons are embroiled in a brawl between the forces of Good and Evil! After some moments of fighting, they break free and the audience follows Ariel and the others to Maleficent's magical chambers. The former mermaid and the others look around, as does the audience to find what could help out the others. The patrons find the corrupted trident, and give it back to Ariel so she could cleanse it! The scene shows Ariel fighting the corrupted magic of Maleficent, and the trident flashes to go back to its original form and shape! Ariel than uses it to destroy the four crystal gemstones that hold the monsters power… and as the same time Godzilla bursts through with Melody and Tracy in tow!
The audience sees Godzilla fall into the sea with Ariel, Melody, Cinderella and Tracy. The patrons soon see the good kaiju growing… and get a close-up view of Godzilla holding up his bonded, roaring loudly as the special sprayers once again spray the audience!
The scene goes that the patrons go with the others at a distance, to see the whole battle between the Toho legends! And once they have defeated their rivals, the good kaiju go to take on Maleficent's new form… the Supreme Dragon! However, it seems that even Godzilla is not a match for the new powered-up form of Maleficent! The Twin Fairies ask everyone to pray to the High One, to give Godzilla and the others the victory they need. Light underneath the seats start to glow a soft blue color, indicating that the prayers were starting. On the screen, Godzilla and the others are soon covered with blue light! They soon rise up, and start Round 2!
The audience is soon whisked away, now going within the battle as the Toho legends start to kick Maleficent's tail! The patrons are soon witnessing up close each of the kaiju's Finishing Moves, ending with Godzilla's Pristine Breath! When the two-headed dragon is obliterated, the audience is now seeing in full view the Toho and Disney legends. The Twin Fairies float in on a Mini-Mothra, and tell the people that they thank them for helping the others out with their adventure. The screen goes black… but the fairies are still on the screen. The twins tell them that they hoped the audience enjoyed the show, and that someone wishes to see them off in style. They point behind them to the back of the theater wall, and from a hole in the wall appears… the face of one of the Toho monsters! The faces of the monsters vary daily and at random; Godzilla, Rodan, Anguirus, Mothra (moth), Biolantte, Ebriah, Titanosaurus, and Megalon.
Kaiju Korner- This place is situated at Main Street U.S.A., and it's similar to Casey's Corner. The establishment is a combination theater and dining area, where the patrons can eat & drink various American & Japanese food. In addition, there are two large areas that hold widescreen television sets. One plays Toho movies, while the other plays Godzilla television series such as Hanna-Barbara's Godzilla, Godzilla: The Series and episodes of Zone Fighter that show Godzilla or other legendary Toho monsters. In addition, after each episode a music video will be played. It's the ones featured in the special House of Mouse- Kaiju Music Video Awards. Each movie and episodes are played at random, and the sitting arrangements are first come, first served. Memorabilia's that feature Toho monster movies are scattered throughout the establishment at key places.
Monsters and Magic: Legend Cave- This attraction is where visitors go through a large, artificial mountain cave area that showcases large animatronic replicas of the Toho monsters. From the Showa-era all the way to the Millennium-era, located in Fantasyland. The patrons walk into the cave, where it is cool inside. The visitors are soon treated to see the various animatronics that feature the kaiju from various eras and timelines. Near each mechanical marvel is a plaque that shows the name of the monster, the movie it first featured in, the year said film was released, and also the bio info of the kaiju. The cave starts first with the behemoths that were not well known, gradually going to Toho legends that are recognizable worldwide. And underneath at the statue's base is a button that when pressed, activates the animatronics seemingly come to life and do some movements while releasing their roars/growls/screeches/shrieks/squeaks. Some like Godzilla and Megalon have their body parts glow, indicating they were going to use their famous energy attacks.
Animal Kingdom
Monster Island Guide- This attraction is set in Dinoland U.S.A., near the Primeval Whirl ride. It's inside a large air-conditioned building where the audience is treated to a 3-D showing of Monster Island. Once the audience is seated down, the voice of Miki Saegusa plays and tells them the rules inside the theater. Once it is established, the lights go down and the screen comes on to show Miki herself walking in. She welcomes everyone in the theater, and tells them that they will be taking a first-rate tour of the legendary Monster Island that houses all of Toho's giant behemoths! The screen changes, transisting from a black screen to showing the famous island of the Toho universe, the audience looking at it from the ocean. They are first introduced to the beings who inhabit the water areas, such as Ebriah and Titanosaurus. The people are sprayed with water effects that are in the back of the seats, and this occurs when at a water scene. Miki comes out and introduces the patrons to the monsters, giving off a brief history and info of them to the guests. The scene continues as go more inland, seeing the kaiju in their own natural habitat and area of the island. The guide continues to go on for about twenty-five minutes, and when it nears the end… the audience is treated to the sight of Legendary Godzilla, who rises from the ocean and let's loose a powerful roar that shakes the audience in their chairs & also sprays them with water! Miki than thanks the patrons for joining her on the tour of the island, and wishes them a fond farewell before the lights come back on.
Mothra's Insect Haven- This attraction is located in Asia, near the Kali River Rapids ride. The place is a large, clear-glass building that houses many kinds of insects from all over the world. The patrons come in and get to see many various kinds of insects, and plaques are located in many areas to show the info of the insects that inhabit the environment. It also gives information on why a particular insect is either beneficial to nature, or a parasite to both nature & man. And also near the exit, free brochure guides are given out to help inform the guests on why conservation of habitats and animals is a must for the planet and for mankind.
Monster Island: Divide and Unite Experience- This attraction is set up in Africa, near the Festival of the Lion King. It is a large building that houses several simulators that features a virtual ride. The patrons walk into a specially designed transport that looks like the side of a ship. Once they are inside, the door is closed and the visitors are given instructions on how to safely secure themselves to their seats, where to put their belongings and also what the rules are when inside the ride. Once everything is said and done, the ride comes on and the guide for the ride varies daily. The guides alternate at random; Rapunzel, Lady Beneditka, Anna, Jasmine or Mama Odie. They come out on the screen, and tell them they are going to various parts of the world as this takes place during Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite novel/movie. The audience is whisked away first to the Toho universe, where they see Godzilla, King Caesar, Jet Jaguar and Little Godzilla engaged against Space Godzilla and Gigan. However, they all are soon teleported back to the Disney universe in style but see the attacks within the magical tunnel that causes the tunnel to burst and scatter the Toho legends! The simulator moves and rattles accordingly with the actions taking place, but not too roughly. The audience soon sees Godzilla bonding with Anna and Elsa, Little Godzilla with Rapunzel and the pixies from Pixie Hollow, Jet Jaguar landing than protecting Mama Odie and Radelle from hunters, than King Caesar landing in Agrabah where he bonds with Jasmine and her kids. After that, the riders are informed by their guide that there is trouble brewing in Copenhagen, and they must answer the call! They fly fast towards the kingdom… and are once again smack dab in the middle of an immense battle between Hans & his army with Space Godzilla and Gigan, and the forces of King Hrok! Godzilla and the other monsters come in, and the intensity of the ride increases as it's soon kaiju vs. kaiju! The audience sees Hans being defeated and turned into crystal… and soon swallowed up by Space Godzilla, with Maleficent emerging! The battle takes place once more, and soon the riders see Godzilla and the other good monsters making a comeback as they defeat Space Godzilla and Gigan! And also Maleficent is finished as well!
Once the ride is over, their guide tells them that they hope they enjoyed the ride and to come back soon. The patrons are escorted out another way, where they walk to the store side of the building where they can get Monsters and Magic merchandise.
Disney Hollywood Studios
Villain Ventures- This food attraction is located at Sunset Boulevard. It is a building that features all of the villains/villainesses that are part of the Toho and Disney series. The patrons come in and see many of memorabilia, posters and scene shots of some of the most recognizable and infamous Toho and Disney bad guys and girls! The guests can order several food and drinks from the menus that feature unique names to them, and also play video games on the first floor. The outside of the store shows the Toho actor Akihiko Hirata in his villain persona Captain Ryuui, commander of the Red Bamboo Army in the 1966 Toho film Ebriah, Horror of the Deep (a.k.a. Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster which was released in the U.S. in 1968) and on the right is Maleficent.

The outside of the building shows Hikari Godzilla with MechaGodzilla-II and M.O.G.U.E.R.A on the left, facing off against Destroyah on the right. The audience is seated down in large trams, four connected together with each tram being able to seat at least 20 guests. The connected trams have a guide at the very beginning of the transport, he or she declaring that they will be their guide as they go into the Toho universe. The ride starts out as the riders go into a dark tunnel, one that shows flashing lights which indicate they are now in a magical portal. The audience soon arrive at a set where it is decked out like the scene from the novel/movie Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale. The first scene is when the entire cast of the Disney characters from the first two novels are celebrating Monster Day. However, as they go further down the road… the riders are thrown into darkness where they are soon faced with the face of the Spirit of the Mirror! The spirit says that Godzilla and his son are in dire need, so the guide tells them that they will be going with the others in order to save the saurians! The ride continues as the audience go through various sets that shows specific scenes from the movie; where the bonded of Godzilla and his son arrive in Tokyo and are greeted by G-Force, where the ladies sing to Burning Godzilla when they first meet, where Elsa froze Burning Godzilla along with Super X-III, where Ariel and the others are fighting against the Crimson Katana & their leader Lady Momoko, the scene where Mecha-Godzilla-II, M.O.G.U.E.R.A and Mothra come to aid Godzilla Junior against Aggregate-form Destroyah, and the scene where Hikari Godzilla and the others along with Mega Marshmallow & Empress Athena are battling Final-form Destroyah. Nearing the end of the ride, the audience is treated with the sight of Jesus Christ Himself coming forth. He states that the faith, courage, love and endurance of the bonded have allowed them to see their monsters once more. He then causes the room they are in, which is completely covered in darkness, to light up… many blue lights like stars twinkling and soon morphing into the constellations of the Toho legends like it was shown in the novel/movie! The ride soon comes to a place where the visitors get off, and go to the store that sells Monsters and Magic merchandise. The store also functions as the exit for the ride.
EPCOT
Sofia's Art Class- This attraction is located in the Future World West area. The building features Sofia the First above the entrance, with a paintbrush in hand. The complex is all about imagination and creativity, where guests of all ages can do various arts and crafts. There are water color paint sets, tables that have large packets of white paper, markers and colored pencils, and many more. The inside is also decorated with artwork that is featured in the novel/movie Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination. It also features LEGO sets and building blocks as well. All are strictly supervised so that no one takes anything from the areas. They can take their artwork with them, or as an option to scan it and send the picture to the artist's email. Or as a third option, to post the artwork in a gallery called Enchancia Hall of Art where visitors can witness their artwork.
Enchancia Food Court- This attraction is located in the Future World East area, near the Test Track ride. This establishment is a small court, decked out in Enchancia fashion, where the visitors can get a bite to eat or drinks to sip down. The place is decked out with both Toho and Disney items, with a statue that shows Godzilla standing tall and over Sofia the First, with her holy armor on. The statue is in the middle of the courtyard, while other statues scattered about the place show the royal family with the monsters of their choice. Queen Miranda with Biolantte, King Roland the II with Anguirus, Prince James with King Caesar, and Princess Amber with Mothra.
Disney & Toho's Wild Adventure- This attraction is located in the World Showcase area. It is a game that is similar to Kim Possible's Showcase Adventure and Agent P's World Showcase Adventure. There are multiple spots all over the Pavilions were one can start the game, Disney attendants wearing special Monsters and Magic insignia shirts give out specially designed smartphones that can ONLY be worked within the World Showcase area. And designed specifically for the game, with outlets that can only be fit into specially-made chargers. The game starts when the players touch the START button on the phone, and appearing on it is Sofia the First! She tells everyone that Cosmina has used her magic to pull from the Toho universe various kaiju, but something went wrong… and now the monsters are scattered all over the various Pavilions! The players are now tasked to take up a mission in each of the Pavilions to locate the Toho behemoths before Cosmina ensnares them. At each Pavilion, the player receives a mission but from a different Disney character! At Mexico, you get help from Princess Rapunzel and the pixies in order to find Biolantte. At Norway, Anna & Elsa along with the Mountain trolls try to locate Jet Jaguar. At China, Meihui and Mushu help to locate King Caesar. At Germany, Snow White and Kathrin help to find Mothra (both forms). At Italy, Queen Miranda and King Roland the II offer their aid to find Titanosaurus. At the American Adventure, Mama Odie and Radelle help the player out to locate Godzilla Junior. At Japan, Miki Saegusa with the Charming mice help out in locating Destroyah. At Morocco, Jasmine and her family offer their aid to locate Megalon. At France, Aurora and her family lend a hand to help find Rodan. At the United Kingdom, Alice and Regina lend their thoughts to locate Space Godzilla. And finally, Canada has Sofia and her siblings trying to locate Godzilla! Each mission is special and unique, and each of the Pavilion parts have special areas that react when a signal is given out to the smart phone when an action is determined. The mission in all of the areas is to capture the kaiju and send them home before Cosmina can enslave them.
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is truly it for this special here! I really hope you liked my ideas that I made up should my novels and specials get recognized by Disney and Toho.
Before anything else, I want to give thanks and praise to the Lord. Thank you God for this wonderful gift of imagination you have given me! I will do my best to not waste or abuse the gifts you have given me. And Jesus, thank you for always helping me out. Not just with my stories, but with life as well! I hope and pray to continue to follow and obey you as best I can, Lord! Thank you!
Now, here are the questions I wish to ask of you readers and reviews. Ahem…
Which attraction would you like to work at in the Magic Kingdom, and why?
What kind of changes would you make to which attraction in the Animal Kingdom?
If you were put in charge of Villain Ventures, which Disney villain/villainess would you put together with a Toho villain/villainess? And why?
Which Disney character would you have in any of the Pavilions to aid the player in the Disney & Toho Wild Adventure game? And which any Toho monster would you have to be put in the Pavilions?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
