A review by brittneyr
A Historical Tour of Walt Disney World by Andrew Kiste
2.0
First, I feel like someone who is a true Disney fanatic would enjoy this book more someone like me who's been to Disney once and I was 11 (too cool for family vacations, obviously :P )
Anyway, it wasn't terrible. I was really expecting more history about the resort and how it came to be such an icon, but I wasn't disappointed. This talks more about why Disney put in the attractions that he did, the historical relevance, and all of those extremely small details that makes the Disney experience so great. As a history lover, was still a decent read, although a little dry and repetitive, especially the "Spaceship" chapter. Overall, just more useless trivia knowledge I have-probably would only recommend to a Disney-&-History lover, which is a select group of people I gather from other reviews.
