AMAZING BOOK (but not that different from the first version)
I bought this version after already owning the first version in preparation for a trip to Walt Disney World. I enjoyed the first edition of the book immensely and would recommend it and this one whole-heartedly. Only giving the book four stars instead of five because I don't think the updates were drastic enough that I needed to buy the second edition after already owning the first edition. So, would 100% recommend buying this book if you're a WDW fan or have an upcoming trip, but would NOT recommend buying this book if you already have the first edition.
Love this as a Disney fanatic
I bought this book in hopes of learning something new,and I'm so glad I did. I'm a Disney fanatic through and through. I love WDW and go as often as I can. I pride myself on knowing and researching hidden gems, items and things at the World. This book? Far outshines my knowledge. We have 20 more things to see/find in our next trip.
I cant recommend this book enough
As a former Disney cast member and a current Disney authorised travel agent, I cant recommend this book enough... This book is a great read for those who want to learn more about what to expect when visiting a Disney destination
Too boring
I like the idea of this book, but I found it a bit boring and didn't care for it much. I liked some of the stories and history of Disney, but I think if there was a smaller book focusing more on a fewer things it would be better for someone doing a shorter trip. I purchased this before my trip to Disney, but having limited time at Disney and the hustle and bustle, didn't get time to focus much on it. I think this book would be better for someone that has a membership or such and can go frequently to have time to waste and indulge in this book more
Meh...
I was so excited to get this book and get some insight into the magic of Disney World before our trip. It was just a boring read, honestly. Like, just a list in paragraph form, of where to find "not so obvious" things at the parks. I only read the first few pages and I was like, "Nope. I will not read this. Life's too short." I did read about Walt Disney in Glenn Beck's "Dreamers and Deceivers," which was interesting. And also read the Who Was? Walt Disney book to my 6 year old son. I thought those were both better than anything in this book.
this is awesome! Love this more then the Hidden mickey ears ...
Being a Disney nerd, this is awesome! Love this more then the Hidden mickey ears book.
Good book, just didn't serve our purpose.
Not good for scoping out Disney World for an upcoming trip. This is more for Disney fanatics that want to know all the ins and outs of Disney World. Good book, just didn't serve our purpose.
I loved that this book is organized by section of Disney ...
I loved that this book is organized by section of Disney World to make it easier to locate facts related to the part of the park that you are in. I also really enjoyed that it had facts about how and why things were done in certain ways to just show all the thought and care that goes behind everything Disney does. This book definitely enhanced my trip to Disney.
So disappointed!!!
This was the most useless book I have ever bought! Seriously, have you been to Disney? So here is an example of one of the secrets.....as you walk into frontier land, look down on the right side of the second pole and see the name of the man who created the music! Really, like that would mean anything to anyone! I absolutely do not recommend this book for any reason!
Condition a bit poorer than I hoped.
Packaging good, quick arrival, book looked fine from the front (and was), however back cover and pages adjacent to the back cover had been folded over leaving a permanent bending and creasing running across the back of the book. May be able to fix the deformity of the back cover and pages by stacking weights on the book and letting it set for a time. However crease on back cover is permanent.
