 Interesting and informative September 20, 2006

Mongello is a long time Disney World fan who has written a trivia book that will give the reader a lot of information that the typical guidebook will not. Of particualr interest to me was info on the age of some of the attractions as well as some history on popular attractions that are no longer a part of Disney World(such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mr. Toad;s Wild Ride, etc).
My only gripe with the book is with the way it's laid out. You'll read a question on one page then have to get the answer to that question 20 pages later. It's not the way one typically reads a book. Still a very good book- 4.5 Stars.

Without ruining the magic, Lou Mongello shows you some of the touches that makes Disney World special. Written in question form with mulitple guess answers, you read through and decide for yourself how observant you are...or not. The answers are in a separate part of the book with explainations of the correct answer.
What a great idea for a book July 24, 2006

It is hard to believe that there is no other Disney trivia book. If there is, they do not compare to this one. The book is well thought out, thorough, and fun to read. If you enjoy the Disney Magic or interested in trivia, this is the book for you.

I recommend the Walt Disney World Trivia Book for anyone who has ever enjoyed a visit there. Both casual fans and rabid WDWers can pick up this book and learn something new about the "Happiest Place on Earth". Lou Mongello, rather than doing a straight history of the place, tells the story of Walt's "Florida Project" through a series of trivia questions. The answers are where the detail is, and while it can be bit tiring to keep skipping between the question pages and the answer pages, the tidbits Mongello has dug up won't fail to fascinate. From the obvious (What is the height of Cinderella Castle?) to the obscure (What famous Presidential speech was given on WDW property?), the book should satisfy those who seek more information about what makes the busiest vacation destination in the USA tick.
If you haven't been to WDW but are planning to go, I recommend that you pick up the book for your return trip. The book is definitely not a travel guide, and can be confusing if you don't understand the WDW terminolgy.
