Little Known Facts About Well Known Places: Disneyland (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
It's no secret that I'm a fan of anything Disney related, so I was elated when my boyfriend Tyler got me this book for Christmas a few years ago. After he surprised me with an annual pass to the Disneyland Resort in August, I dug this book out and re-read it, trying to absorb every single awesome detail. While I don't ordinarily read non-fiction books that aren't memoirs, I think this one is worth mentioning! The Disneyland edition of Little Known Facts About Well-Known Places is full of entertaining information about all things Disneyland. When I first read this book, I was skeptical, thinking that I already know all there is to know about one of my favorite places; but I was happily surprised to learn a variety of facts, tips and secrets that I hadn't known at all! Information ranges from facts about working at Disneyland (including famous people, like Michelle Pfieffer, who used to work at the park!), history (like how the Matterhorn was the first rollercoaster to use a tubular steel track), tips (like how to tell where you are at Disneyland based on the trash can colors), and information on how to maximize your visit at the Disneyland Resort. Do you know which teacup spins the fastest? Do you know where the flag pole on Main Street originated? What common items are banned from sale at Disneyland and how much did it cost Walt Disney to build the park? You can find all of these facts and so much more in this priceless collection of information. This book is beautifully compiled with a fact or breakdown of data on each page so it's not overwhelming to read. I might even tote it around Disneyland on my next visit! Bottom Line: Whether you're taking a rare visit to Disneyland or you visit the park on a regular basis, this is a must read for any fan of Disney! It will really help you to appreciate the talent and detail that Walt Disney poured into his dream and you will love and respect the Walt Disney Company for continuing with Walt's principles long after his passing. 5/5 stars. This little books is filled with lots of fun Disneyland facts and even contains some myths that circulate around the park. This book is meant for every Disneyland fan. It's a ultra quick read (anyone can read the book in an hour). The book is great as a gift or anyone who is going to visit the Disneyland resort. I absolutely love this little book and I highly recommend it to every die hard Disneyland and Disney fan.

Cute and interesting, but with a fact-a-page format, not worth the money.
