I'm just wondering, what Disneyland book would you suggest for Disneyland secrets/hidden things in Disneyland?

thank you

i have the Disneyland Detective, andthat is a really good one for hidden mickeys and other secrets. one of the best i have ever found is the Passporter. that is the most in depth book

^^ That is a really good book for hiddden mickeys, facts, and hidden secrets. But ine I would choose is the "magic quisdom" book because you not only get a good selection of trivia the answers give a good explanation to the book.

If you can afford it, the best book I own is "The Nickel Tour" by Gordon & Mumford. More information is presented there than any one book I can think of. Unfortunately, I beleive it's out of print, and the copies on Amazon and elsewhere are staggeringly pricey.

Try http://www.alibris.com/ I've used them for years. They have connections to used book sellers all over the country, and their prices are usually reasonable.

i guess you have to choose what the book is about. if you want history, rides, secrets, etc, they are all in diffrent books

My personal best favorite is "Mouse Tales: A Behind-the-Ears Look at Disneyland" by David Koenig. It has a ton of secrets, facts, history, etc.

They have another copy at about half the price:

Also, Amazon has one for about a hundred dollars less:

still too pricey for me!!

Still, it must be something pretty special to resale for that much...

The greatest book to read for any Disney fan is "Disney War" by distinguished journalist James B. Stewart.

The huge book was written by Stewart, who at the time scored big on being on the inside of Disney as it stood on the brink of civil war.

From Walt to Ron Miller to Roy Jr.'s relationship with his dad and uncle and onto the Eisner era, this book is the tell-all must have.

It took a while for me to get through the whole thing because pesky things like work and school kept getting in the way. Once you start reading it is hard to put it down.

It's a chilling side to the company that many don't realize ever took place.
James B. Stewart should be applauded for his amazingly objective and investigative work during a time where tension and backstabbing was at an all time high. There was even a point where Eisner tried to get Stewart to turn on Disney Exec's by making up stories, thus pulling Stewart into the story he was documenting.

Truly the BEST and most fascinating book on the Walt Disney Company I've ever read.

Check it out!
