I'm used to reading books about Disney by outsiders, who are not hesitant to show WDW in many lights. I didn't read this book expecting anything but whitewashed Disney PR, because I was interested in the behind-the-scenes, official tidbits about Epcot that I may not have found out in more critical books about the park. While certainly most of this book wasn't new to me, there were a lot of interesting facts here and there that have added to my knowledge of Disney trivia, and I look forward to pointing them out to family next time I'm in the happiest place on earth.… (mehr)

This is a nice, quick reference for the traveler in Disneyland. For the avid Disneyland fan – the kind that has read a lot about Disneyland already – there won’t be a whole lot new here. Most of this can be found in other references. However, it makes a nice stand-alone reference that gathers the facts in a different way.

By arranging the information by land and by attraction, the visitor has the opportunity to learn about the attraction (and the Imagineering that went on behind the scenes) while touring the park. (Actually, a nice tome to have on hand while standing in line for each of the rides.)

If you are a Disney freak with an extensive collection, you won’t find much new here. If you are just learning about the park, then this is a great way to dive into the joys of Imagineering.… (mehr)
