Partly because I frequent BoingBoing, and partly because I heart Disneyland anyway, I've run across and read a few stories set in the magic kingdom recently. I've never played Kingdom Hearts, but I'm in love with the theme songs to that game (in which Disney characters join forces with Final Fantasy characters to save the universe).
So it shouldn't surprise me that last night I had an idea for a story of my own, to be set in Disneyland: just a decade after the neutron carpet bombing of America. Or maybe to be cruel, Japan again. By China? That would transport the story to Tokyo Disneyland. Where people still love Mickey Mouse without a trace of irony.
What would the park be like after ten years of no maintenance? If kids could string some power to it, what would they make of the place? What would they think of the world outside, if that were all they knew?
Just an idea.
