Does anyone know of a not out of print book about behind the scenes of Walt Disney World. I found one for Disneyland but I would much rather have WDW.
Thanks!

Very good book:

Designing Disney's Theme Parks - The Architecture of Reassurance.

My fave image from it is the scale elevation comparison of the various castles.

Look! I'm a Muppet too!

Walt Disney's EPCOT is a decent book. I found it at a local antique store that has a whole section of Walt Disney World stuff. It came out before the park was done, so it has concept art and pictures of the attractions being built. It also describes each attraction in detail. It is a good book if you liked all the old attractions at EPCOT.

Inside disney...The incredible story of Walt DIsney world and the Man behind the Mouse. It is part of the unofficial guide series but isn't a trip planner book. It's very up to date and even talks about redoing Alien Incounter to fit in with Lilo and Stitch rumour. i have not finished reading it but i have found it very interesting and informative so far. Lots of facts, history and behind the scenes type info.:)

I think the Architecture of Reassurance is the broadest of the books. It covers nearly every Disney park and even points out the design differences between the various Disneylands.

It focuses mostly on theorhetical planning and how design evolves over time - show influences for certain attractions and the basics like how a table is designed for the contemporary.
