Rating: Summary: Just buy it Review: I had a hard time finding this book, and guess where I am...Orlando, Florida! You'd think that there would be plenty on the shelves! When I finally found it, there were only two on the shelf in a small section on the 2nd floor of Barnes & Nobles! I was just in awe at the book, I expected many pages of text, but I can't remember a full page of text in this huge book. It's full of illustrations and pictures that really make you feel like you're one of the Imagineers checking out ideas for the parks. For anyone who likes Disney, or really anyone who enjoys design, art, architecture, etc.; or just needs a good coffee table book, this book is stupendous, and you get a deal here on Amazon. ... I hope they come out with another book.
Rating: Summary: A picture book? You bet... Review: I hate to think, as being a teacher, that I would find a picture book, something that emphasizes the relaxed, casual glance at pages, so enticing, but I'm going to recommend it. As a Disney Theme Park fan, I still pick this one up when I'm blue and need a charge. I guess, in the back of my mind, I've always wanted to create the wonderments the park has, and, since I can't, these provides for all the gaps my dreams have. Good stuff, even for the none Disney fan, for it has a visual language that is easy to understand and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: have you ever wondered how they did it? Review: I have wondered how they have done it for a long time, and this book shows the magic behind the scenes. They don't give their secrets away, but they give you enough information to really see how smart and talented this group of people is. You will look at any Disney park different after you read this book, its gives you a new look one things at Disney. If you want to had an idea how things work @ Disney pick this book up, its a steal for the price they are selling it at.
Rating: Summary: Very Good Review: I like the book a lot. Beautifully illustrated and informative, worth the money.
Rating: Summary: A Fun and Great Book. Review: I love this book. I got it straight from a Disney Imagineer. This a a great source for park info and is great to read before going to the parks.I'll make you seem much smarter than your traveling companions and is a great book for ANY DISNEY FAN. I love this book and it is WONDERFUL.
Rating: Summary: Food for the Mind Review: I saw this book in Downtown Disney while visiting. It is the most interesting behind-ths-scenes look into Disney's imagineers. I can go to any of the parks and be awed over and over and over again. This book lets you see how things came to be. It includes information on rides, parks and lots of other stuff. I suggest getting it from Amazon where it is much cheaper. I would have waited and ordered it from them if I knew they had carried it. A must have for any Disney fan's library.
Rating: Summary: Not enough about Disneyland Review: I wish this book had more information on Disneyland. I just came from a vacation to the park and really wanted to relive some of the magic I felt while going on the rides. It had lots of pictures of EuroDisney and Tokyo Disney. I would have like it a lot more if it had more of a breakdown of each park. While the pictures are very good, I was through with the book in about 20 minutes. Not worth the price.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Book for Disney theme park fans! Review: If you are as nuts about Disneyland as I am, you will absolutely love this wonderful book. Full of great photos, stories and artwork from WDI/WED Imagineers, you will find this title fascinating from cover to cover. A great behind-the-scenes look at how the design process works (and sometimes doesn't work) in the world of Disney Theme Parks.
Rating: Summary: A Beautifully Illustrated and Informative Book! Review: If you are looking for a book to explain how Disney makes the magic come to life, you've found the right book! This book is filled with fantastic photographs, sketches, paintings, and other products of Disney's Imagineering. A "coffee table book" actually worth reading! The Imagineers give away a lot of their secrets, but don't expect to learn it all. Just when you think you've cracked the Imagineer's vault, they change the subject on you. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting a "behind-the-scenes" look at how the Disney parks were made into the wonderful places they are today.
