Best Books on WDW and/or Walt

[dopeylover]

Hi All!!

Getting ready for our yearly camping trip and I have to start stocking my NOOK with reading material. I've become a huge fan over the past couple of years in Bios and that sort of thing. I wanted to download some books about Disney, and I'm just wondering, what are the best you've read? Years ago I picked up a book about Walt that was really not a very nice biography about him, and not very well written. I am very familiar with trip planning books, although as I am sure most of us on here can plan our own trip while blind folded, I tend to read them b/c I need my Disney fix.

What have you read that was awesome?

"Walt Disney" by Neil Gabler is probably the best biography out there. My absolute favorite book on WDW itself is "Realityland" David Koenig.

Each has a subtitle so I linked to them so you can see the full info.

EDIT: Another awesome one, specifically about the "Mountains" at Disney Parks is "The Disney Mountains" by Jason Surrell.

Vinyl Leaves: Walt Disney World and America by Stephen M. Fjellman.

I think the "Walt Disney: An American Original" is the best book to start with. But there are many, many books out there.

I agree with "Walt Disney: An American Original" by Bob Thomas. It's a great read. Not too in depth, but tells his story well.
