From the Publisher
We each have our own special memory of the moment we fell in love with Walt Disney and began to believe in magic and dreams.
Perhaps you remember the original Disneyland television series. Maybe you were converted by one of the classic Disney movies or are part of the "Disney Channel" generation. Or you may be a parent or grandparent who loves Disney simply because your little ones love Disney. In any case, you trust the power of dreams.
Walt's dreams knew virtually no boundaries, but he felt hemmed in by the surroundings of his first theme park, Disneyland in California. So he created a new place where there was enough room many more dreams -- 47 square miles of mostly undeveloped land in Central Florida. In 1971, his dream came true as Walt Disney World® opened with fanfare befitting the coronation of a king.
Within a decade, Disney World reigned supreme in the travel industry. In the 30-plus years since its opening, vacationing at Walt Disney World has become an American tradition. Even international travelers rank Disney World as one of the top vacation destinations.
As Disney World grew, so did the size of the typical Disney World travel guide. Those guides work for travelers who want or need detailed information. But over the years, I encountered many families -- including my own! -- who wished for a simplified, illustrated book that was more like SparkNotes® and less like an encyclopedia. So I set out to fulfill my own dream: a fun-to-read, easy-to-use travel guide filled with maps and checklists, a guidebook that even travelers who hate to plan could love!
The result is the book you are reading. The EZ Fun Guide(tm) to Walt Disney World® was written and designed using proven information-sharing techniques based on the power of illustrations and structured writing. Color-coded, descriptive EZ Fun Maps(tm) describe the major theme parks, water parks and other selected locations. Information that is not appropriate for maps is presented in checklists and tables, so you can easily find the information that you need.
The final chapter is the EZ Fun Vacation Planner, a series of planning pages called EZ Fun Sheets(tm). Using what you have learned in earlier chapters, you and your family can easily plan your theme parks visits and other recreation, select your resort hotel, plan your meals and budget for your vacation. Unlike other travel guides, this won't be a generic plan. Your vacation plan will be customized just for you!
