Books about WDW

[peyjenk]

Can anyone recommend a good book about WDW? Official, unofficial, whatever. Which ones have you read and enjoyed?

What kind of books are you looking for? Guidebooks, fiction, trivia, history?

For trivial things, I like the Imagineering field guides. There is one for each park, and they point out some of the smaller touches that I had never noticed before. The only downside is they were designed as a pocket-sized book, so the pictures are smaller than I like.

For an eye opening look at the Disney company and what happened to remove Eisner, I think every Disney fan should read Disneywars. It'll rub off a fair amount of pixie dust though.

Yes. Although I am particularly interested in the behind-the-scenes stuff. How things work, how things were decided and designed, etc. And both of your suggestions sound like great sources for that! Thanks!

A great book about Walt Disney himself, which leads into the planning of Walt Disney World is a book called How to be like Walt.

Lots of behind the scenes info in the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2014.

Like trivia? Try this and of course this

I really loved the first book in the Kingdom Keepers series. I cant really seem to get into the second one though. I keep starting it then forgetting about it.

They are young adult, so they are not super hard to read, but entertaining.

Walt Disney The Triumph of the American Imagination is quite interesting!

My favorite guidebook is the Birnbaum's Walt Disney World Guide. It is about $12-$13 and has a lot of information and is very helpful. You can find it on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles usually. Hope this helps
