The millions of people who visit the creative wonderland that is Walt Disney World rush from attraction
to attraction, but they don’t see much of what is in between. And what is in between is the hidden magic of
Walt Disney World, a magnificent array of often-overlooked details and story-enhancing touches that make Disney shows and
attractions the best in the world.
The Hidden Magic shows readers how to look and listen for themselves
and gain an appreciation for all the subtleties that truly bring these creations to life, highlighting exactly where the magic
comes from and how it is created, why things are the way you see them, and the immense attention to detail involved, as well
as de-bunking the myths and misconceptions that have flourished on the Internet.
The book also deals in the back-stories of all the attractions, with a liberal sprinkling
of exclusive Imagineer quotes, pointing out why the attractions developed as they did, because ‘stories’ are what
Disney is all about. Nothing is done without a reason.
Ultimately, The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World becomes the perfect companion with which to tour
the theme parks, providing an expert guide that will open the eyes of park-goers to a new World that’s been right in
front of them all the time, so they can see the parks in a whole new way, and enjoy them even more – just as Walt and
his Imagineers always intended.
