Summary: Fun to read. Fascinating to look at
Review: This is a great book. Be sure to put this book somewhere you can frequently refer to it. I've found it fun to look at the images and the sketches over and over again. The paperback format is large, and I get nervous when I spread the book binding to view the illustrations. I hope it stands up to heavy use. Now, remember who wrote the book and accept the company line. However, this is a book that speaks to the traditions of creativity and imagination...while entertaining at the same time. Solid writing style, easy to pick up and put down.

Summary: Absolutely incredible. A Disney fan "must"!

A "must have" for anyone who enjoys, or dreams of enjoying, Disney theme parks.

Summary: An absolute must for any aspiring "imagineering designers"!
Review: This is an absolutely fantastic inside look at the design process of Disney Imagineering. The book details the past, present and future projects along with great anecdotes from the Imagineers themselves. The book is also filled with rich pictures, illustrations, and sketches from projects both built and left on the "shelf". As one who wishes to pursue a thempark design career, this book acts as a great reference tool and both inspires and motivates your creative juices.-Ken G.

Summary: Not a Lot of Meat Here
Review: This is just a PR piece for the Disney company, a way to build hype so more people will buy their products and see their shows. I was hoping for some nuts & bolts advice on designing theme parks and theme park rides. Everybody knows how to brainstorm; everybody knows the importance of color and lighting and music; everybody models on computers before they make physical models. What do Imagineers do that's different? Do they have special techniques for brainstorming, or for choosing colors, or stage lighting? The answers are not here. Also, what have Imagineers learned from their mistakes? If you take this book at face value, Imagineers have never made mistakes; everything they've done is perfect, and any criticism leveled at Walt Disney world was later retracted or countered.

Summary: This is the most inspirational and motivating book I've read
Review: This is the BEST book I have EVER read. I'm 14 years old and ever since I came back from Walt Disney World in 1999 after seeing the Millennium Celebration, I have wanted to be an architect for Walt Disney Imagineering. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Disney or wants to be an Imagineer. It has inspired and motivated me to be the best I can be and to look at everything as an oppritunity to see and learn new things. I have never wanted to be an Imagineer more since reading this book. It gives you a beautiful and rare collection of WDI drawings and paintings and what it's like to be an Imagineer. They explain the jobs there and tell you what it was like to work for some of their biggest projects. I was sad when I finished this book! Each page motivated me to turn to the next and keep reading until my eyes fell out! There are inspiring quotes from Walt Disney and the Imagineers themselves. The the Best and Only book on Walt Disney Imagineering.

Summary: Terrific for any Disney fan!

If you are looking for a book that gives detailed information on the specifc rides or parks this is not for you. I think that any Disney fan, casual or die-hard, will enjoy this book.

Summary: If you have only 1 Disney book, make it this one!
Review: This is the perfect volume for anyone who loves the Disney parks. It's basically a picture book of sketches and artwork of Disney rides, shows, and hotels. Most of the work has never before been published, and probably never will be again.
Rating:
Summary: Buy it, buy it, buy it!
Review: To anyone and everyone who is even the slightest bit interested in finding out how the imagineers made some of the rides at WDW or other Disney theme parks, this is the book to buy. There isn't a dull page in it. It is worth every cent. The pictures are fascinating and the information is useful and helpful for those who are planning on becoming an Imagineer someday.
