"Growing up in Disneyland" is part biography about Ron's father, Broadway, movie, and TV star, Don DeFore, and his own autobiography. Don DeFore earned a star on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame and was a household name in the 1950s and 60s. He co-starred in numerous feature films, TV shows, and live theater with many Hollywood legends.  He is best known for "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" in which he played the next-door-neighbor, "Thorny," and his co-starring role as "Mr. B" in the 1960s TV series, "Hazel."

"Growing up in Disneyland" is a metaphor for Ron's life growing up in a celebrity family filled with Fantasyland adventures he equates to a Forrest Gump-type life, from meeting the Beatles, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, and other celebrities. "Growing up in Disneyland" is also to be taken literally, as Ron spent much of his youth in Disneyland where his father owned "Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue" restaurant in Frontierland.
