The fourth in a series of pocket-sized paperbacks answers the question, "What would it be like to walk through Disneyland with an Imagineer by your side?"

This is a nice, quick reference for the traveler in Disneyland. For the avid Disneyland fan – the kind that has read a lot about Disneyland already – there won’t be a whole lot new here. Most of this can be found in other references. However, it makes a nice stand-alone reference that gathers the facts in a different way.

By arranging the information by land and by attraction, the visitor has the opportunity to learn about the attraction (and the Imagineering that went on behind the scenes) while touring the park. (Actually, a nice tome to have on hand while standing in line for each of the rides.)

If you are a Disney freak with an extensive collection, you won’t find much new here. If you are just learning about the park, then this is a great way to dive into the joys of Imagineering. ( )
