The Disneyland Encyclopedia: Second edition

Spanning the entire history of the park, from its founding more than 50 years ago to the present, this fascinating book profiles 500 attractions, restaurants, stores, events, and significant people from the history of Disneyland®. Each of the main entries in the book examines in detail the history of a Disneyland® landmark, including how many of the most popular attractions went through several incarnations before becoming what they are today—Tomorrowland’s Hall of Chemistry and Hall of Aluminum were transformed into the groundbreaking Adventure Thru Inner Space in 1967, and then became the popular ride Star Tours 20 years later. This updated edition includes hundreds of new photos; details on dozens of new attractions, rides, eateries, and shows; and additional sidebars. With a daily list of events, openings, and closings in the park's history, a yearly summary of attractions that came and went, and simple and clear maps that correspond to the book’s 500 entries, this is a comprehensive and entertaining book overflowing with detail on the most-renovated, most-loved, and most-visited theme park in the world.
