The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World (An Imagineering Field Guide) Paperback – May 22, 2007

Lots of people would find The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom a bit much: could anycare about the marks in the pavement? But to Disney True Believers, this is an important book, another display of Disney's ability to use everything from dirt to sky to help tell a story. Walt was a superb story teller, one of the first in our lifetimes to use place to tell us about our world and other worlds. (D.H. Lawrence had written of The Spirit of Place decades earlier, but I doubt if Walt read much Lawrence, and Lawrence wouldn't have thought of manipulating space to tell a story.) Imagineers have the best job in the world, using literally everything to change our perceptions, and this Field Guide shows how they do it. This volume is better than the corresponding volume on the Magic Kingdom, perhaps because the stories are deeper and more relevant to our future.

Interesting facts but the photos are so small it is impossible to see detail.

For all you Disney-aholics, this was a great behind the scenes book that tells much about Animal Kingdom that is not public knowledge. It takes each 'Land' in AK & gives background, foreground & sideways looks at what is and what might have been. Very enjoyable book, as were the ones about MK & Epcot. Now I'm waiting for one about MGM.Diane

This book is great for the Disney fan in your life. I bought all 3 in the series for my husbands birthday & he can't put them down. If you have never been to the parks they will be a little hard to follow, but if you are Disney fan's like us you will definitely love them!

An excellent inside look at the planning & execution of Animal Kingdom. Be aware that this is a small book, but packed!

A very informative book. There isn't really that much to review in AK because it is relatively new. Expedition Everest info is awesome though.

I love the Animal Kingdom and the Imagination that went into the Kingdom is a great read ! ! !

Quick delivery and great quality!

I found this guide to the disney park Animal Kingdom a great help to read before visiting this park. It contained lots of little bits of info which made my stay there much more enjoyable and did reduce wait times at rides, shows etc. Book arrived on time and in good condition

Answers the "how" about Disney

This is the 3rd book in the series covering a behind the scenes of the different WDW parks. It is really interesting, its the little snippets that make it. If you have already been or plan to go you will love this.
