Summary: 4 Stars
Koenig produces here what can best be described as a non-Disneyfied history of Walt Disney World, from the initial vision of the man himself to the current status as a monstrous state-within-a-state destination. The author does a great job of getting the inside information straight from the Mouse's mouth, and these points are where his writing really shines. It stumbles a bit, though, when no such interview is available. While people are certainly interested in the stories of accidents, injuries, and the "hidden" scandals of the park, without such stories the book begins to read like a newspaper census of facts and dates, and it is here where the pace gets a bit tedious. These are small faults, however, and thus the book as a whole is an entertaining read for anyone who enjoys Disney or would like to know more than a shiny pamphlet would let on.
