At The Corner of Fantasy and Main is about more than Disneyland, midlife, and churros. It's about how our heart is sometimes more reliable than our memory and how places that are touchstones in our lives stay with us in ways that don't always seem to make sense. And, well, it's about Disneyland, midlife, and churros.

Praise For…
"My greatest joy as an Imagineer was to visit the park and watch our guests interacting with the worlds we created, trying to imagine what they must be feeling. At the Corner of Fantasy and Main is a heartwarming and poignant exploration of those feelings – but not confined just to visits to the Happiest Place on Earth. Matt Mason is visiting our memories of the past as we search for reassurance in the present, all the while reminding us of our childhood dreams for the future. For those of us who have lived 'a lovely life but have misplaced its key,' Matt’s poetry is a beacon of light in that search, beckoning to follow him around the corner and on till corndogs. I devoured the contents of this book like Matt devours his beloved churros." —Greg Combs, Imagineer 1990-2020
