ABOUT THE BOOK

✨✨✨
A Walking Tour of the Magic Kingdom is a three-part book that includes 
​7 Disney World Walking Tours + 50 Years of WDW Facts + The 150-Question Slightly Impossible Quiz
✨✨✨
THE BOOK
A Walking Tour of The Magic Kingdom takes you on a journey through all six lands of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Florida + provides 50 years of facts + has a 150-question Slightly Impossible Quiz.

It was created to serve as both a coffee table book and a guide to the Magic Kingdom over the years. You can enjoy the photographs, illustrations, and historical facts from the comfort of your home or bring it with you to use as a guide when you walk through the Magic Kingdom on your next visit! 
THE TOURS
We focus our tours on specific years but cover many of the changes from 1971 to 2021. There are illustrations identifying each stop that guide readers as they relive their past experiences in the Magic Kingdom. As you can see below, the Tour of Liberty Square starts by the Diamond Horseshoe and finishes at the Haunted Mansion after traversing and discussing the changes to the attractions, venues, and restaurants between.

THE FACTS
The Year-by-Year Facts section includes over 600 facts highlighting the changes at Walt Disney World from 1971 to 2021. Do we identify all the changes? No. Do we mention many of the major changes? We believe so! Readers can look-back on the first 50 years of WDW as a timeline or pick notable years and see what was changing in WDW at that time. Whether it was your first visit, your honeymoon, your children's first visit, or your last visit, it's always nice to refresh your memories! Below is an example of the kind of facts you'll find in the book.

THE SLIGHTLY IMPOSSIBLE QUIZ
When we realized we were having a difficult time whittling down our facts (we have 50,000 lines of information in our database) we decided we needed another way to share more of these facts. We settled on a quiz, and not just any quiz ... a quiz loaded with information (and sometimes a little background or an interesting reference). We view the quiz as an extension of the facts - it's information you can share with your family and friends, and hopefully get an occasional "wow, I didn't know that!" Below is an example of one of the quiz pages from the book.

MEET THE TEAM
This collaboration is very much a team effort. Old friends, new friends, and family members have all played a significant role. Tim Foster at Celebrations Magazine has been instrumental in getting this project going and guided us through the process of composing this book. We very much appreciate all the fantastic photographs he has shared for use in the book. We are also thankful for all the other photographers for allowing us to use their stunning photos.

My daughters, Megan and Beth have collected, compiled, verified, analyzed, summarized, and organized the information we use. They are also responsible for the format, color schemes, layout, and just about everything associated with the composition and content in the book.

Many thanks!
