Beyond the Pixie Dust: Becoming an Apprentice of the Kingdom

The Most Meaningful Place on Earth

What is it about Walt Disney World that moves countless people to be filled with emotion the moment the music for the fireworks show begins? Why do so many individuals spend their entire lives dreaming about working as Cast Members on Disney property? Is Walt Disney World simply a collection of rides, restaurants, and gift shops—or is there something deeper and far more compelling at work in Florida?

Josh Avery is a Pastor who stands convinced that WDW is a reflection of a much deeper reality: a place referred to in the Christian Scriptures as the Kingdom of God. This isn’t just a book about a Florida theme park built in a former swampland—it’s an invitation to discover how you can live a life of purpose and meaning in the midst of daily uncertainty and conflict.

While reading, you’ll learn a lot about Walt Disney World. You’ll hear about the circus animals that engaged in a bloody battle on Disneyland’s Main Street. You’ll learn the location of the real Seven Dwarfs Cottage, hidden away in the Florida woods. But most importantly, you’ll be challenged to step beyond the story and to become an apprentice of the Kingdom yourself—beyond the pixie dust and into a meaningful life.
