I am so hooked on Disney World, it is crazy. I want to research the making, designing, plus the ins and outs of the park. Can anyone recommend a good book?
Walt Disney World: The First Decade (1982)
Since The World Began: WDW The First 25 Years (1996)
Both were produced by Disney and are available used on Amazon for less than $10 (more if you want a pristine copy).
There are several other books that also cover the history of WDW. Just do a search in Amazon's book section with the keywords "Walt Disney World History" and many will pop up.
Maybe you'd be interested in the Imagineering Guides to the parks. They have one for each park individually, although I'm not sure they have released all 4 yet.
I like Since the World Began, too but it's quite old and doesn't include Animal Kingdom at all.
I really like "Since the World Began" it's a little older and not as updated but, hey history is history.
"The Walt Disney World Trivia Book: Vol. 1" (& now a Vol. 2 has come out I believe) has some great history in it but is in more of a quiz fashion and also includes secrets to the parks and just random fun facts.
