Woody is referenced in Disneyland's Jungle Cruise within Trader Sam's Gift Shop! with a cowboy-boot containing a snake. The D23 video for Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar referenced Toy Story by stating Skipper John often spoke of talking toys. Within Toy Story Midway Mania! in Pixar Pier is a box for the board-game, "Walt Disney's Adventureland Game" in Andy Davis' room. Buzz is affiliated with the Tomorrowland mythos as, "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin" is part of the Tomorrowland Chamber of Commerce.

The books reference the Tomorrowland attractions Delta Dreamflight and If You Had Wings which preceded Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

After attempting to conquer the kingdom of Agrabah, they were trapped in a lamp and imprisoned within the magical Cave of Wonders.	Aladdin	Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management!	The Enchanted Tiki Room is the setting of the Tropical Hideaway restaurant. Aladdin has been referenced in the Adventure Trading Company, Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, and the Tropical Hideaway. Iago appears on the Guest Skipper Cards for the Jungle Cruise.	While it is most likely that this book was written by/under Iago and Zazu, the story of Africa in Disney's Animal Kingdom might make this anachronistic as it seemingly places the events of the Lion King closer to the 1990s/2000s while the Skipper Canteen is set in 1938.
	Jones	The Eyes of Mara	Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr.	Indiana Jones was a famous adventurer and archaeologist during the early-half of the 20th century.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!	Fellow EPCOT denizen "The Dreamfinder" can be heard in the mess hall as a patron of the Skipper Canteen. Incidentally, Dreamfinder's creation Figment makes a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! as part of the Collector's collection. Indiana Jones' aviator Jock Lindsey of S.E.A. is implied in Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar to have hosted Marvel/MCU character Howard Stark in his bar.	The title, "The Stars Above Us" references the Galaxarium in the queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!. While the reference to Star-Lord might seem anachronistic, the story of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! revolves around time-travel making this book most likely to have been written by Quill.
	Z (of I & Z Management Publications)	A New Way to Manage Birds	Zazu	Zazu was the hornbill majordomo to the royal lions of the Pride Lands in Africa.	The Lion King	Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management!	A removed shield from the headhunter camp in Disneyland showed the logo for the Lion King musical.

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom had Adventureland missions themed around the Lion King and the Jungle Cruise.	While it is most likely that this book was written by/under Iago and Zazu, the story of Africa in Disney's Animal Kingdom might make this anachronistic as it seemingly places the events of the Lion King closer to the 1990s/2000s while the Skipper Canteen is set in 1938. The Under New Management overlay was also set after the 1960s and referenced being around the 1990s.

Mystic Manor	There are crates from Albert's home of Mystic Point in the queue for the Jungle Cruise. In Bengal Barbecue is a photograph of a stuffed Albert the monkey on the Zambezi Miss in the possession of Rose Sayer from The African Queen.	This book is a play on the, "Infinite Monkey Theorem",, a real-life theory that the chaos generated by a monkey on a type-writer means it would statistically come to write a literary masterpiece.
	Captain Mary Oceaneer	Parrots as Pets Charting Course	Captain Mary Oceaneer	Captain Mary Oceaneer was a victorian sea-captain, archaeologist, scientist and scuba-diver. In the 1950s, she was stranded in Placid Palms or, "Typhoon Lagoon" following a hurricane.	Oceaneer Lab Miss Adventure Falls	A S.E.A. fez belonging to Oceaneer is in the cabinet.

They are also affiliated with the Tomorrowland Chamber of Commerce which includes, "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin" and the Skipper Canteen also contains books by Buzz Lightyear. X-S Tech is an entity affiliated with Lilo & Stitch (2002). Lilo & Stitch is connected to the stories of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.	Clench's reference might be anachronistic as he is referenced as having first found Earth around the events of Lilo & Stitch (2002) while the Skipper Canteen is set in 1938.
	Goff	Banjos and Baboons Tramp steamers in Africa	Professor Harper Goff	Professor Harper Goff was a colonial tattoo-artist, banjo instructor and employee of the Jungle Navigation Company during the 1920s-1930s.	Adventureland Bazaar	Goff is an employee of the Jungle Navigation Company, referenced in the queue of the Jungle Cruise. One, "H. Goff" is also referenced as producer of the film The Jungle Cruise. Other characters with name variations of Harper Goff are JNC cartographer Skipper Harper and Reverend Goff of the Jungle Mission, presumably relatives or alternate-identities of the professor.

	Gracey	Tales of the Supernatural	Master Gracey	Master Gracey was a handsome New Orleans aristocrat at some point in the 18th-19th century. He and his family owned an antebellum mansion overlooking the Mississippi River before they all died and were buried there. This manor would go on to become the infamous, "Haunted Mansion".	The Haunted Mansion	In the Magic Kingdom, the Cambodian temple spiders used to appear in what is now the stairwell scene of the Haunted Mansion. A member of the trapped safari shared the Caretaker's mould and was said by skippers to be a distant cousin of his. The character of Bertie Dread whose tomb is outside the mansion has a Marc Davis-influenced white colonial design similar to the characters of the Jungle Cruise. In this same queue is the ghost of poetess Prudence Pock who tells many morbid poems, some of which have a jungle theming. In the Amazon River Base is a vial of, Prof. Plump's Miracle Tonic for Everlasting Life, seemingly referencing the hitchhiking ghost Phineas.	The surname Gracey is lifted from imagineer Yale Gracey. While the general consensus is that Master Gracey was head of the Gracey family and manor, this identification stemmed from a misunderstanding of the term, "Master" being used to refer to his age rather than status. There are also alternate depictions of Gracey in the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. The books could also potentially have been written by any other member of the Gracey clan.
	Harrison Hightower III	MINE! Treasures of the Animal Kingdom Everest Expedition: Search for the Yeti	Harrison Hightower III (1835-1899)	Harrison Hightower III was an evil member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers and of the Pillagers Brigade.

	Goff	Banjos and Baboons Tramp steamers in Africa	Harper Goff	Goff has an in-universe counterpart in the form of Professor Harper Goff from the Adventureland Bazaar. The Banjos and Baboons book likely references this fictionalized depiction due to its affiliation with banjo-playing.

	K.P. Rafferry	Sandy Claws; Indonesian Beach Tigers	Kevin Rafferty	The pun used seemingly references Santa Claus and the Jingle Cruise. One, "K.P. Rafferty" is also referenced in the Amazon River Base via the 1935, "K.P. Rafferty All-Skipper Pun Championship".
