The Walt Disney World Trivia Book is like the friend I've always wanted who flies me down to Disney (for free!)and proceeds to take me through every park, attraction, and resort, telling me things I never knew about my favorite place. With a loyalty only a true Disney connoisseur can possess ("ever hear of some guy named 'Bugs Bunny'? Hmph. Me neither."), Lou presents his information the way I like it-it's personal, frank, and fun. Kind of like Lou himself...drop him an e-mail, and you actually get an answer! If there is one Disney informant to swear by, it's Lou Mongello. Some of his facts I knew, some made me laugh, and some made me realize that perhaps I'm not the Disney expert I make myself out to be. All I know is that those around me will have to endure new rounds of Disney fact-spouting. I almost feel bad for them. They had assumed they were safe after our (sniff!) last Disney trip in 2005. Although I shouldn't really mourn the trip's passing; with the WDW Trivia Book, I'm there all over again.

I absolutely loved Volume I of the Walt Disney World Trivia Book, but Volume II is even better! I have been to Walt Disney World many, many times and have acquired many secrets and fun facts during my trips, but Lou seems to know EVERYTHING about WDW. Volume II is a must have for any Walt Disney World fan, and is a necessity for WDW trips. I cannot put this book down, and am looking forward to Volume III!

Written by Louis M. Mongello, The Walt Disney World Trivia Book: More Secrets, History & Fun Facts Behind The Magic is an all-new, unofficial multiple choice trivia book. Half the book is devoted to hundreds of multiple choice questions; the other half answers each question at length with fascinating tidbits about the history and operation of Walt Disney World. Enumerated questions and answers are in separate sections for easy self-quizzing. "You'll find what on top of the hot air balloon at the center of 'Dumbo the Flying Elephant'? - Perched atop the balloon is none other than Dumbo's friend, Timothy J. Mouse, who helped Dumbo discover the ability to fly using his oversized ears." Black-and-white photographs, "Did You Know?" bars, and an index round out this amusing means to while away time in the car while driving to Disney World.

Lou Mongello brings a vast knowledge of Disney World to the ultimate fun travel must have! This book which reads out like a great trivia book, really fills you with some of the most intriguing information you will find about Walt Disney World. Think you know alot about Disney World? Think again! This travel book is a must have for Disney fans, and a must own for anyone going to Disney World! With Disney world constantly changing every year, the information will always be fresh as I hope Lou continues pumping out volume after volume! A great book anyway you use it, information, travel, or trivia!

Just received the Walt Disney Trivia Books, Volumes 1 & 2. I've read through both and cannot wait until my next WDW vacation. Thank you, Lou, for writing the best Disney trivia books ever. Just one question, when will there be a third?

I loved Volume I and was so excited to hear that Volume II was on its way. Rest assured that Volume II does not contain facts already in Volume I! A lot of work was definitely put into this book and I thoroughly enjoy sharing these fun tidbits of information with family and friends who also have a love of all things Disney. The book is organized in a 'quiz-like' format so it's easy to quiz yourself and check your answers on the answer pages. Absolutely a fun read!

My son and I love this book and we've only read the first section. We can't believe how much we're learning and how much we didn't know. We're enjoying finding out all the "little" things we never knew about Disney World.

I purchased Lou's book after I had found his website when I was planning my latest trip to Walt Disney World. After looking at his site and even signing up for the forum, I knew I had to purchase this book I'd been reading about! And I am so glad I did. The trivia is fun if you're reading alone or if you take turns reading with a partner and it's multiple choice too. Even more, the answers are found following each section with a short statement to provide further information about the correct answer. What I really love about this book is that the layout makes it a simplistic read that doesn't get boring. Even though it isn't a guide book, anyone (or any family) planning to take a trip to WDW can benefit from the exciting learning experience the book has to offer. It is a must read for first timers and fanatics!

Fantastic book! What you may have thought you knew...but didn't! An interesting book of facts that help you understand the making of Walt Disney World. A must have book for Disney mania! Volume 1 is just as interesting!

There is no better way to build excitement for an upcoming Walt Disney World vacation than with Mongello's book. I've been reading this book every night as our WDW vacation approaches and it has given me a new purpose for traveling to Disney this time. I am looking forward to checking out the many trivia facts mentioned in this book that I never knew existed before. This book sets an entirely new purpose for returning to Walt Disney World.
