101 Things You Never Knew About Walt Disney World: An Unauthorized Look at Tributes, Little Touches, And Inside Jokes Okay – E. McKee –
This book was okay. It was not really what I thought it was going to be.
Not for the Disney Buff! – Disney World Fan –
If you know nothing about Disney World, this might be somewhat interesting, but if you’re looking for significant insights, this isn’t the book for you. As many other reviewers have stated, there is no real substance to the information. You’re given little tidbits of information, but none of it is expanded upon. So many of the 101 facts are really basic. If you’ve read any book about Disney World, you probably know these things already. It’s almost as though this book is a compilation of facts from other books on the subject. While it wasn’t a total waste of money, it’s not something I’ll keep to page through again. “Mousejunkies” is a far better publication and costs about the same.
OK, but not great – Anonymous –
While the book had a handful of new tidbits and trivia, much of it was either the same as can be found in other assorted Disney trivia books, or were things already familiar to Disney fans. Nonetheless, it is an acceptable book.
I enjoyed this book. I am a disney freak and love any information on disney. : Think you know Walt Disney World?

Do you know the backstory of Dinoland U.S.A. that unifies the entire land? Do you know how the former attraction named Dreamflight is commemorated in today’s Magic Kingdom? Do you know how Ellen’s Energy Adventure mentions the ride which preceded it? Do you know where the references to Horizons and World of Motion are? Do you know how Disney’s Animal Kingdom pays tribute to the land it planned but never created? Do you know where the Hidden Kermit is located? Do you know how the four theme parks honor the years in which they opened?

You have probably heard a few “interesting facts” about Walt Disney World over the years. Perhaps you’ve heard that the windows on the second story of the buildings on Main Street honor individuals of note in WDW history? Or that the company plane Walt used to survey the eventual WDW property from the air now lives at the studios park? It’s all true… but these are only two of the interesting facts pointed out in “101 Things You Never Knew About Walt Disney World.” And those are only two of the best-known examples. Many of these stories deal with much more obscure, yet equally interesting, pieces of history of the theme parks. You haven’t heard all these stories before! 101 Things You Never Knew About Walt Disney World: An Unauthorized Look at Tributes, Little Touches, And Inside Jokes
