Book Review - Maps of the Disney Parks: Charting 60 Years from California to Shanghai

Maps of the Disney Parks: Charting 60 Years from California to Shanghai



About the Book

This deluxe Disney atlas is bursting with gorgeous park maps from around the work and across the six decades!

It all started with a map. . . . Maps of the Disney Parks are more than just atlases used by guests to find their way to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. They are snapshots of a place and time, relics treasured by collectors, and gorgeous pieces of artwork. In fact, it was a map (imagined by Walt Disney and drawn by Herbert Ryman) that was used to sell the idea of Disneyland to investors. Unfold this book of beautiful maps from when the very first Disney Park opened in 1955 right up to today. Discover details on how and why the domestic and international parks have changed over time, and enjoy sixty years worth of skillful creativity.


My Take on the Book
This is a great book for anyone that loves Disney parks. The book is full of concept arts, maps and more and really allows you to see not only what is but also what might have been. The artwork throughout the book jumps off the page and really draws you in. I loved that the book went all the way back to the original Disneyland concepts to even more recent concepts. The book is a collectors must have and something that you will keep learning from each time you open it!
