A Historical Tour of Walt Disney World: Volume 1 by Andrew Kiste, Bob McLain
4.0
This is a combined review of all three books. First, the concept was interesting and not what I was expecting when I got the books. Instead of a history of the actual WDW attraction/land/resort, this book is more about the historical facts that led to the inspiration of these places. It also pointed out historical inaccuracies.
It was broken up into different sections. You can definitely use this as a history lesson, but also guidebook in some areas like Liberty Square and Frontierland. I would like to go back to the MK with this book in hand to look a bit more closely at certain areas.
Some reviews complain of repetitiveness. It’s there, but only noticeable if you read cover to cover. If you flip around to the sections that interest you, as is easy to do with this book, the repetition becomes more necessary.
Overall I liked them. They were entertaining for me, who is both a fan of Disney and history.
