Books

There are four books to choose from: a Cast Member memoir, a travel book for Tokyo Disney Resort, a volume detailing all the menus and prices at Walt Disney World (updated multiple times per year), and one that goes into the trivia and tributes at Disney World.

The bestselling book we offer is 101 Things You Never Knew About Walt Disney World. This volume, 117 pages in length, covers the trivia, details, and tributes of the theme parks in depth.

It pays particular attention to homages and re-used artifacts from rides now removed from Disney World. If you ever yearned to learn all the inside jokes, now is your chance!

Here's a sample:

#35: The staging of animal encounters on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad pays tribute to the ride which was its creative ancestor.

When Big Thunder Mountain Railroad first premiered at Disneyland, it replaced Mine Train thru Nature’s Wonderland, a slow-moving train ride through desert scenes and tableaus of robotic animals interacting with their surroundings in various ways. Some of those interactions are recreated at the Magic Kingdom’s version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, such as the bobcat taking refuge from three attacking boars atop a cactus or a face-off between a roadrunner and a snake, both of which take place in the town of Tumbleweed, and are best viewed from the passing Walt Disney World railroad.

FURTHERMORE: Two of the pigs lounging at the southern end of Tumbleweed are duplicates of the hogs squealing with joy in the mud at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean. The third (and largest) pig was transplanted here from Epcot’s World of Motion pavilion after it was replaced by Test Track; that pig had been in the gondola of a hot-air balloon.
