4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, but wanted more!, July 15, 2003
By Patrick X. Coyle (Fairfax, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Imagineering Way, The (Hardcover)
I was surprised by this book. It is very helpful into gaining insight to the Imagineers creative process, but I was hoping for more anecdotes on how they solved some of their most difficult design challanges or how they went about designing some of their parks. There are a few stores included, but I wanted more!

If you want more information, artwork, and pictures of Disney attractions, purchase Walt Disney Imagineering: A behind the Dreams look at making the magic real.

Otherwise, it is a great book and tells you how to apply the Imagineers creative thought process to your own life and work.

4.0 out of 5 stars From Figment to Imagination, July 11, 2003
This review is from: Imagineering Way, The (Hardcover)
This is fun collection of essays from Disney's Imagineers. Its a small book, but truly inspirational. I would have liked a more in-depth book on the Imagineer's thoughts on creativity, so I was a little disappointed.
But I have to admit, that this book was fun to read and did trigger many creative thoughts. The creative energy of the Imagineers did come through in their essays.
I hope there is a future book, which does for the Disney Imagineers what "The Art Innovation" did for IDEO.

Only 4 stars because I really was hoping for more substance, but I would still recommend this book to someone looking for quick burst of creative inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short fun delightful tease into Disney's secret world, November 16, 2003
This review is from: Imagineering Way, The (Hardcover)
I am still waiting a detailed history book about the Disney Imaginers
Or maybe a book about how they think.

I was hopping that this book was it, but it wasn't.

This book is a collection of essays, thoughts, and fun tid-bits about the idea
Of imagineering written by the Imaginers themselves.

Its fun to read and give a teaser glimpse into Disney's best keep secret.
