5.0 out of 5 stars Don't go to WDW without it., July 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Unofficial Disney Companion (Paperback)

The book was very informative as well as humorous. We did not plan our vacation around the book, but it gave us detailed information about each ride, show, and restaurant. It came most in handy when deciding where to eat. (The book also contained information on sites outside WDW)

This book has a wealth of info on Disney World, how, where, when, and why it was built and how it's run. There's also lot's of great information on the company behind the World, it's other businesses and corporate culture. My wife and I found it very interesting and a nice way of closing out our recent trip to Disney World.

This review is from: The Unofficial Disney Companion (Paperback)

This book gives an interesting look at the inner workings and evolution of Walt Disney World. From the way the land was aquired, to the way the garbage is disposed. My only problem with the book is the detail. There are a lot of interesting topics and information, but there is much more to this story than 200 + pages of tidbits. It longs for a sequel to be written, on almost every chapter. Buy this book if you are a Disney Information Addict.
