WDW Book Suggestions

[ToyStory3]

Any book suggestions for a junior high boy? He loves to read and this year will be his first on-site stay. I thought about maybe one of the hidden mickey books but not sure if there are others for someone his age to teach him a little about WDW before he comes. Thx!

There are a ton of books about the parks but for a teen if suggest the Kingdom Keepers series. My friend's 17 year old daughter has loved reading them. They don't contain information but they are fun!

The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World by Susan Veness is a really interesting book.

I got a bunch of different books on this topic for Christmas. I haven't gotten a chance to read them all yet but a few you could look into are:

The Thinking Fan's Guide to Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World Hidden History
Project Future

I know I have more but they are still packed from my last trip and I can't remember their names. If you look these books up on Amazon, there will be bunches of more suggestions too. There are a lot of memoirs that are easy-reading but some of them have topics that you may not find appropriate for a middle school kid, so be aware of that.

Thanks everyone!

The Imagineering Field Guides are nice if he is into behind the scenes type information. It's like a book version of "DVD Extras" for the parks, and these are small in size -- easy to take with for something to read while in line.
