Books On WDW

[lenny l]

Hi again!
Good job I'm going back to work soon, or I might take over this site!
A question about books. I've pretty much bought every guide book I can on Orlando, (of course the Brits is the best!) but I want to learn some more about disney. I've already got a book by The Imagineers, but what I'm really interested in is the history of disney, the construction of it & all the different worlds, behind the scenes stuff, etc. This might all sem a bit dull, but I love to know all about this stuff as well! Sorry!!! If anyone can recommend any good books I can get I will be a very happy bunny!

Lenny, when do you return to WDW? I'm certain you will enjoy the Keys To The Kingdom Tour.

The best books I've seen on these things are in bookshops inside the World. There is also an excellent bookstore in the Disney Village in DLP....... have you checked Disney's on-line store or Amazon.com ?

Lenny - one of my faves when we first went was the Unofficial Guide to WDW and Orlando. Updated each year, I think. Check out the book shop . . it's quite thick, not a touch on our Simon's Brit's Guide, but very good descriptions of all the rides, wait times, etc.

Thanks!

Already tried Amazon, but if you do a search for Disney books there seems to be millions! I'm wading through them today as well. Will try the disney Store later.

Did see loads of good books when I was at WDW, but not going back till next May & I deserve some lovely Christmas presents!!! Will keep hinting.

Is Keys to the Kingdom good then?

Oh, & I have the Unoffical guide already. I think I've bought every guide book to WDW known to man! Drives Mrs Lenny mad!

Like yourself I've bought every guide book there is! A good way of finding up to date books and those that aren't published yet is through Amazon. Do a book search with 'Disney' and then refine it by publictaion date and it will bring up a list of all those books that are awaiting publication followed by those recently released. Good luck!
