How In The World... can you buy forty-three square miles of land without anyone knowing? That is just the beginning of this fascinating journey through the first twenty-five years of development, construction, and daily operations of Walt Disney World -- Disney's largest resort complex.
No other Walt Disney World book offers such an all-encompassing perspective as How in the World...? as it delves into everything from how Walt Disney World came to be, to the history of its classic attractions, to what it takes to keep the Vacation Kingdom operating twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. The complete explanations of Disney's legendary Audio-Animatronic figures, magnificent landscaping, sleek monorails, massive food operations, amazing entertainment, strategic hotel development, and much more - are not to be missed.
But How in the World...? is not simply a book about the construction and operation of the most magical place on earth. It is a book about the passion, drive, creativeness, and can do attitude of incredible teams of cast members, initially put together by one man who shared the same characteristics - Walt Disney.
Each intriguing chapter title completes the book's title question for a different area or operations department. Each chapter is easy reading with intriguing stories, fun facts, Walt Disney Imagineering secrets, insights about Walt, strategic business issues, and unbelievable statistics all intertwined. Anyone who has ever been to Walt Disney World will enjoy this book from cover to cover and be amazed at how many things they didn't know about Walt Disney World.
