WDW Trivia Book! A must read for us DISers!

[wildernesslodgelover]

I am sure plenty of you alread know about this book, but I was at B&N yesterday and came across "The WDW Trivia Book" by Louis A. Mongello. I cannot put it down! I love all the useless trivia about my favorite place!

I am only in the first chapter, but here is a smapling...

Q: How many acres of the 30,000 acres that make up WDW are actually developed?

A: 7,100. WDW comprises 47 square miles of land. 1/4 is developed and 1/4 is set aside as conservation land. There is plebnty of room for expansion!

There are 167 miles of paved lane roads on WDW propert.

WDW is over 100 times bigger than DL

Bay Lake is only 12 feet deep. There are more than 2.385 billion gallons of water in Bay Lake and the adjoining Seven seas Lagoon. They are WDW's two largest lakes that cover 596 acres together. Bay Lake is natural while Seven Seas is completely man made.

Christmas Day is the busiest day at WDW. At MK, there are 12,213 parking spaces. by 10 a.m. they are all filled.

Ok, just thought I'd share. I always enjoy when folks on the board post some WDW trivia, so now I have a book full of it!

ETA: Whoops! I just did a "search" (guess I should have done that before posting, huh?) and I see this book has been discussed before. I am usually only on the Restaurants board and this board so I had not seen it.

Sandy,

Thanks for your order. I'll look for it tonight and process it right away. Depending on your shipping choice, you could have it in as little as a couple of days!!

Thank you again, and enjoy your trip!!!!

DH bought me this for Christmas--I'm loving it! It is also great to bring along when I have studyhall duty--on a slow day (like Monday when they really are tired!) I can read a few questions and then check the answers to see the facts. He also bought me the hidde4n Mickey's book--I'm going to bring that along in July!

I'm not sure what page you were trying to order from and got the bad link, but you can purchase your signed and personlized copy of the book directly from HERE

Thanks!!

Lou,

Thanks for the quick service. I'm really looking forward to reading your book.
My one and only trip to NY was in April 2000, and we stayed at the Red Roof Inn in Edison. I liked your town. Went to a great diner there.

It is a great book by one of the nicest guys around.

Hi, Lou .

Lou, I've sold close to 10 copies of the book for you. I'm in management for a major book chain, and I always keep 2 or 3 copies of your book on hand to suggest to customers as an add-on when they buy a WDW travel guide. It's usually an easy sell.
