Book recommendations for my WDW trip?

[grrrlennyl]

Hi, everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone had any not-very-long Disney book recommendations for my trip next month. I typically like non-fiction, and would like something that doesn't take up a ton of room in my bag, since I normally don't do a ton of reading on my WDW trips. Bonus points for WDW history-type books.

Here's what I've already read...

• both of Marty Sklar's books (liked the first one more than the second)
• Project Future: The Inside Story Behind the Creation of Disney World
• The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World: Over 600 Secrets of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom
• Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World
• The Dark Side of Disney
• Kingdom Keepers 1-6

Thanks in advance!

Hopefully it is not too late to help you out for your trip - If you are interested in Walt, a couple of my favorites are "How to be like Walt" by Pat Williams and "Walt Disney An American Original" by Bob Thomas. Both give a good insight into Walt's history while still keeping it relatively short. As far as books about the parks, I have enjoyed reading the imagineering field guides. They may be a few years outdated now but they still give a lot of detail on the parks/attractions. Also, anything by Jim Korkis is usually pretty decent.

I'm actually waiting for the bus to Epcot right now, but I'm definitely going to look into those books once I'm back. I have trips planned for late February and October of next year, so this will come in handy.

Thank you!
