5 out of 5 stars Interesting facts about Epcot   July 5, 2006
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I also have the Imagineering Field Guide to the Magic Kingdom - this one is similar. A good book to pick up when you only want to read a bit at a time. Interesting facts, some of which I didn't know.


4 out of 5 stars Informative entertainment   July 2, 2006

After reading the first book in the series I eagerly awaited the release of this book. Although this book didn't seem to be filled with as many unknown facts as the first, I thoughly enjoyed reading it. I would recommend this book to any interested in seeing great concept art from the development of Epcot. Just don't expect to learn as many little tidbits of information as was present in the book on the Magic Kingdom.


5 out of 5 stars Imagineering Field Guide to Epcot--5 stars   June 29, 2006

Definitely a must for all WDW groupies of this fantastic park, great behind the scenes info on the entire grounds of EPCOT, and extensive input on how much thought, detail and hard work goes into each and every exhibit. Being Annual visitors it will give my family & friends a more appreciative, better and distinctive view of what we see and enjoy at EPCOT.


5 out of 5 stars I love this book!   May 23, 2006

This book provides so many little details to how the imagineers designed Epcot. There are concept drawings/paintings/doodles to that really allows you to see the thought process to all the details that they thought up and we often overlook. They discuss how music was chosen for Future World to why certain colors were picked for building designs. I'm a big Disney fan and am always looking for something new that I didn't already know and this book an the Imagineering Field Guide to the Magic Kingdom are great.


4 out of 5 stars A Good Follow-Up to the Field Guide to the Magic Kingdom   May 18, 2006
 11 out of 13 found this review helpful

This is a good follow-up to the field guide to the Magic Kingdom, but it lacks the depth of effort of the first in the series. The problem here is that Epcot is essentially two parks in one (Future World and the World Showcase). This could have been subdivided into two field guides or one longer field guide. There were probably spatial limitations of doing either. What happened was that the depth of analysis was limited to a cursory examination in some parts of the guide, especially the World Showcase pavilions.

The Imagineering 101 section is repeated from the first field guide. I suppose it has to be done this way until the "Super Deluxe All Inclusive Field Guide to WDW" with all four theme parks, the water parks, the Downtown Disney area, and (potentially) the cruise ships is released. Cleverly, the example photos for the 101 section are now Epcot-related, so there is some additional value to repeating it in the context of the new guide.

Of course, for every Imagineer wannabe this is a "must have".
I can't wait for the Disney Studios and Animal Kingdom field guides.
