Behind the Scenes Books?

[jordgubben]

Ok, so now that I'm a Disney junkie I was thinking that it might be cool to read some behind the scenes books before I go down again at the end of the month.

FYI - I'm not looking for guide books but ones that tell you some of the strory behind the story or stuff like that.

Any suggestions of good ones?

One of the best ones that I've read is "Inside Disney: The Incredible Story of Walt Disney World and the Man Behind the Mouse". It's available in paperback published by Frommer and you should be able to find it inside the Travel section of any bookstore. Lots of neat little inside stories. Though never any major secrets given away.

Another neat book that I got was "Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look at Making the Magic Real". Coffee table book with a lot of conceptual drawings, not a lot of secrets either though. Disney works hard to protect those!

I recommend "Since the World Began," which is a comprehensive look at the vision, construction and evolution of Disney World. I really enjoyed it.
