For it is the Duke, formerly Richard III’s closest ally but with strong family ties to the Lancastrians, who now rules as Protector of England. King Edward, still a child, is nothing more than his puppet and the Duke is free to do as he pleases, for good or ill and access to the King in strictly controlled. However, Edward may be a child. But he is also a Plantagenet and the eldest son and heir of the warrior King, Edward IV. His army of sisters and his formidable mother are fighting his corner, along with many of those who had once been loyal to the new king’s father. Meanwhile, the Lancastrians and the Tudors are still a threat, gaining strength both in England and overseas in Brittany and France. England is far from settled. The tentative peace brought about by the late King, Edward IV, was once more torn asunder by Richard’s failed usurpation. Factions have reformed, rival claimants gather strength.

Finn, Amanda, and all of the DHIs are back for this new thrilling story that takes watchers below decks on the Disney Dream. As the Disney Dream 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 Dream crew. Finn, 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. The Dream is now the most advanced cruise ship in the world. But all is not right below decks. Strange things are happening. Unexplained phenomena. 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. 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.

Maybeck tries, but fails, Charlene not letting him kiss her. That night Charlene is crossed over unexpectedly and Finn and Philby go to rescue her. Philby manages to kiss her almost unwillingly and the spell indeed breaks. Finn figures out that the Queen has more than Charlene under a spell. Willa is crossed over, but this is not supposed to happen. While she's crossed over, Willa is saved from drowning by Ariel from The Little Mermaid and finds out that the "characters" from all Disney movies are in fact real, not Cast Members. However, the others find out they can't get to her because the Overtakers cut Philby's connection to the DHI server. Finn, Maybeck, and Philby sneak in to the server room in the utilidors to get back the connection, which they accomplish. That night, Finn and Maybeck cross over and rescue Willa.
