Is there a Disney book that...

chronicles all the changes in the park? I would love a book that shows how the park was at open and how it is now.

For example, discussing Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and then discussing Pooh's Grand Adventure.

Any ideas? I became a Disney lover after having my own girls, 6 and 3, and really only went once as a child.

The Unofficial Guide has a lot of behind the scenes type stuff to tell you about the why and how of some rides, but that isn't it's focus. I would love to find what you are talking about! That would be so interesting.

A coffee table/pictorial history would be good. I have one each for MK, AK and Epcot, but they aren't really current.

Since the World Began

There's a pretty decent collection of Disney theme park history resources available, both online and off. That's a good start.

I just finished reading a book put out by the Disney Imagineers. It chronicals the history of all rides/exhibits such as when they debuted in the park, when they were refurbished or what may have replaced them (i.e. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride replaced by Winnie's ride) plus why they chose color schemes and such throughout the park. I thought it was very interesting. It is not a big book (4"x 7") and cost $9.95.
