Books On Disney World History...?

[AKL_Megs]

I'm trying to come up with some Christmas ideas for DH as I really want NOTHING.

I looked on Amazon and found "Project Future", which looks good, but I am looking for more suggestions.

Read any good ones?

Here's a list of my books from my collection -

(These are really nice in that they have pictures of how the resort used to look, old attractions, shows, and themes. It's fun to see how much and also how little the park has changed. Also fun, the clothing from way back!)

Gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort (1992)
Walt Disney World (MCMLXXXVI)
Walt Disney World 25 Years (ISBN 40014410025)
Since the World Began Walt Disney World the First 25 Years (1996)
Walt Disney World 20 Magical Years
Walt Disney World and EPCOT Center (1987)

The Imagineering Field Guide to EPCOT
(I also have the one for the Magic Kingdom)
Hidden Mickeys * A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secrets

And while not Disney's history, an history of the U.S. with Disney pictures -
Disney's America on Parade

I have other older books that are Disney stories but not about the resorts.


ETA: These aren't novel type books if that is what you're looking for. I've read a few of them but they've been from the library and I don't remember the titles. The ones I collect are more what I would call coffee table type books.

David Koenig's Realityland: True Life Adventures at Walt Disney World, is one of my favorites.

And if you want a Walt Disney biography-type book I like Walt Disney: The Triumgh of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler.

THIS was a GREAT book...

I got one of the first copies of Project Future when Chad Emerson was a speaker at the August meeting of the Disneyana Fan Club (formerly NFFC) in Orlando. I read it all the way through and found it very interesting.
