Unique and Fun!

So many books exist about WDW and seem to contain the same content. This book is unique and fun!

Great “top trivia” for heading to WDW

Nothing earth shattering here but it’s about 100$ cheaper than one of the property tours! I’d say for adults and kids 10 and up there’s a lot of great info here to get them excited about the inner workings of the park

A book for lovers of Walt Disney World

As someone who has visited the parks multiple times and loves everything about Disney, this book spoke to my geekiness and love of history and inside info. I learned so many things that I had never heard before and it made me love Walt Disney and Walt Disney World even more. 😊❤️

Boring

I would think people picking this book are Disney fans. Not anything new, in-depth or intriguing in this book.plus is outdated. As a Disney fan you kniw a “walk thru” the “World” going to change constantly. Forced myself thru it. Woukd not recommend if wanting any new fun Disney info.

Decent book

Decent book. The reader sounds like a tour guide. But it is what it is. It’s a book about WDW. Can’t hope for intellectual conversations.

Fantastic book for those new to WDW!

If you want to know everything about Walt Disney World Resort before your first trip or you are a seasoned professional, this book will give you all sorts of information to stay ahead of the curve and know what you are getting into before your trip. Highly recommend!

This book has lots of facts that any seasoned disney fan will love

So many great facts you will enjoy. From Japan and Halloween, to how many characters are only able to be seen at Disney’s not so scary party... from the first steps on Main Street to interesting tidbits in every park and resort. This book will not disappoint the newest Disney fan to those who have been since it opened.

Great guidebook!

Well written guide through all the parks at Walt Disney World Resort. Informative and interesting, the author provides fun facts, a few unknown secrets, and gives sound advice for your trip to Walt Disney World.

Lazy and credulous

Little more than a summary of Disney’s own PR. Whether you’re historically curious or planning a vacation, there’s not much here for you.

Needs an audio companion

The book is probably very helpful but the audiobook references pictures, maps, photos, etc. I got half way through and google searched the author, publisher, etc with out any luck of finding a companion. I stopped listening because a lot of the information was useless with out the visual. If you are paying for this book, you should be able to get PDF versions of the material and that should be noted so that you can follow along. I would not recommend.
