Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback (2nd Edition) ISBN: 9781440587801 Publisher: Adams Media Age Range: General / Adult Readers Overview The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World is the ultimate insider companion for anyone who loves peeling back the layers of Disney storytelling. Written by travel writer Susan Veness, this 2nd Edition paperback uncovers hundreds of hidden details, Imagineering secrets and playful Easter eggs across Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Perfect for first-time visitors, seasoned park veterans and Disney-obsessed gift recipients alike, it turns every queue, façade and attraction into a fresh discovery. About the Book Packed with over 600 secrets, this guidebook goes far beyond the standard park map. Susan Veness spent years researching hidden Imagineer signatures, subtle design touches and storytelling flourishes that most guests walk straight past, compiling them into an easy-to-navigate reference organised park by park. This updated 2nd Edition adds a brand-new section covering the Fantasyland and Storybook Circus expansion, so long-time fans can spot the latest additions alongside classic hidden gems. Readers will learn the meaning behind the carriage numbers at the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak play area, discover the Disney family coat of arms guarding Cinderella Castle, and hear the surprise tune tucked into the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train queue. There are curious concentric circles to decode in Epcot's Temple of Heaven, and a small but telling detail on a champagne glass inside the Tower of Terror. Each entry is written in short, engaging bursts, easy to dip into before a trip, read aloud as a family, or use as a scavenger-hunt companion once inside the parks. Whether you're a teacher building a Disney-themed lesson, a parent prepping kids for their first visit, or simply someone who wants to see a familiar park differently, this paperback delivers genuinely new material rather than recycled trivia.
