 Top notch for any Disney World fan!!! July 9, 2004

I've seen many Disney Trivia books over the years but only a few pages are ever dedicated to the most visited resort in the world. FINALLY a book that takes this entire resort and puts it into a light even us Disney fans have to take a step back from and say, "WOW I didn't know that"! I've visited Disney for years and surf the sites on a daily basis, yet I still found myself taken back by the information/material in this book. First you can you quiz yourself on what you THINK you know. I found some things I thought were fact were just actually well accepted rumors in Disney Web Circles, but this book cuts through those and gives you an in depth answer to each question without adding extensive writting that goes no where, it just gets right to the point. This brings me to my second point and I think most valuable point. This book is not just a question answer book. The answers are not just left as " B. EPCOT or A. 17" This book gives you the answer and provides short explaintions to why its that answer. The facts that come with the answers are great at giving you a behind the scenes look at the park while using the trivia to guide you through it. I can find myself taking more time reading the answers then the question just so I can read the facts that this book touches on. If you want to test yourself on Disney World Trivia and want to take that up a notch and learn more about the resort then you ever have, buy this book. The author has a Disney World Trivia site as well that gives you an idea of what this book contains and I'll tell you it delivers. Also while reading this you'll notice that he keeps the material on a level that we can all relate to and I believe this is due to the fact that he does take the time to converse with the average person interested in the Disney Topic or with people that would find this topic as a general interest. A definate buy even if its your first visit or your 100th (for me its my 30th)to Disney World. For those visiting Disney World for the first time, a great idea would be adding this to your guide book purchase. You'll find yourself standing in those long lines reading this book and being amazed at ever turn while having fun.

"This book will help you discover Walt Disney World's secrets, history, hidden treasures, and the little details that make everything so wonderful." ~Louis A. Mongello
Louis A. Mongello is a fan of Walt Disney World and first visited this magical land when he was only three-years old. Since then he has been a frequent visitor and finally decided to put all his knowledge in one book. The information includes chapters on:
All Around the `World'
The Magic Kingdom
Epcot
Disney-MGM Studios
Disney's Animal Kingdom
Beyond the Parks
Questions are presented in a multiple choice format:
In what year did Walt Disney World open?
a.) 1965
b.) 1969
c.) 1970
d.) 1971
The first chapter of questions is followed by a chapter of answers to chapter one. The answer:
1. d.) 1971
October 1, 1971, was the official opening day of Walt Disney World and the Magic Kingdom...
The answers are normally a paragraph or so and can extend past one page. Other questions include:
The illusion of ghosts in the ballroom of The Haunted Mansion is created by what technique?
The remains of what technology lie abandoned at the bottom of the Seven Seas Lagoon?
A very entertaining read especially if you visited Walt Disney World and had lots of questions as a child.

excellent book for hardcore and casual Disney fans February 24, 2005

excellent book for all Disney fans and trivia buffs. i was a little taken by the format, multiple choice questions then answers and explanations after each chapter, but puts a fun little twist instead of just drilling you with endless facts. very fun book, and i can't wait for the next trip to Disney to impress people with my knowledge thanks to Lou!
also, beyond the book, to keep the fun going, Lou is also an expert web programmer and has an amazing site at www.disneyworldtrivia.com , where more facts and discussions take place.
Lou also likes to save kittens from trees and build homes for homeless kids in his spare time. Also, go to his book signings, he's a strikingly handsome man.
A "reader friendly" book of multiple-choice trivia questions December 9, 2004

Lou Mongello is a devoted fan and self-instructed expert on everything and anything having to do with Walt Disney World and what it takes to keep one of the world's largest and most popular public amusement resorts up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In The Walt Disney World Trivia Book: Secrets, History & Fun Facts Behind The Magic, Lou Mongello has created and organized a "reader friendly" book of multiple-choice trivia questions that even the most devoted Disney World enthusiast will find to be fun, challenging, and informative. Enhanced with five maps and an index, browsing through the pages of The Walt Disney World Trivia Book is almost as much fun as being there!
What fun! June 9, 2004
