 The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World March 17, 2010
D. Mahdik (San Jose, CA)
This book serves up exactly what it represents itself to be, a "collection" of factoids about Walt Disney World... for those of us living closer to Disneyland, this helped paint a better picture of Disney World.

this book is terrible. i feel like i'm on a bad tour with a horrible guide. there is no big secrets or shocking facts. the book merely points out the obvious.
Not what I was looking for February 1, 2010

I was looking for a book to help me plan my family's trip to Disney World this coming summer. We live on the West coast and will only be traveling over and spending that ammount once. So, I want to get the biggest bang for our buck. I ordered this book hopeing it would give me tips on which rides to get to first and so on. I didn't get any information from the book other than different histories and meanings behind certain things. If you are able to get to Disney World regularly, this would be cool to read. But, if like me, you plan on making the trip once, this book isn't the one to get. Birnbaum's book was VERY helpful and gave me all I was looking for to help me plan the trip. After reading Birnbaum's book, I feel prepared.
Revealing information but A LOT of it January 28, 2010

I really enjoyed this book. I have been going to Disney World ever since I was a newborn. This is the first time I purchased a book about Disney World because I wanted to know a little bit more about the place i love. The book has a lot of really interesting facts, but there are so many little facts that the book gets a little complicated to read. The book, at some points is described as if you are walking through each of the parks, and unless you vividly remember each section, you're not going to know what the author is talking about. I suggest reading the book with the virtual map of Disney World that you can find online or through google earth, it makes it less confusing because you "see" exactly what the author is talking about. Overall this book got 4 stars from me because it presented some interesting facts but didn't need to include the initials of every imagineer that ever created anything....
