A fun read for Disney fans, even if you think you know it all! I've lived in Orlando for the last decade and spent the two decades prior visiting Walt Disney World semi-annually and was surprised at some of the fun facts and easter eggs even I didn't know existed thanks to this book.
When I was younger, I would read various Disney trivia books and guidebooks to scratch that itch in between our family visits. This reminded me of that in a combined format! There's great tips for first-time visitors and fun trivia for repeat fans. I'd love to see this expanded as a series for other theme parks.
Note: Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, digital ARC of the book in exchange for my honest review and to support an upcoming interview on our podcast, The Book of the Mouse Club. Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts to catch our interview with Danielle Kelly coming later in April.

“I Love Disney’s Magic Kingdom” takes you on a counter clockwise tour around the Magic Kingdom (Counter clockwise? Why? Read the book and find out!) with attraction descriptions and tips for readers to plan for their upcoming Disney vacation. Danielle Kelly uses her former cast member expertise and friendly personality to give an engaging tour around the Kingdom that preserves the magic of Disney while also giving readers a glimpse backstage.
I appreciated the accessibility of the book. The icons differentiating attractions, food, history, Park Pointers, Extra Magic, and trivia neatly organized the book and Danielle transitions seamlessly from one section to the next. Its layout makes it easy to flip back and forth to re-find information which is necessary for a guide book. At no point did I feel overwhelmed by information that can happen with other guide books. This guide book isn’t an overwhelming checklist for planning a Disney vacation, but a walk around the park with a friend who will make you excited about visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Newcomers to the Kingdom will also feel like Disney insiders with some Extra Magic and Trivia shared by Danielle. Even frequent visitors to Disney, like myself, will learn something new. The trivia was my favorite part of the book. And if you follow Danielle Kelly, aka Dapper Danielle, on social media, you will recognize her humor and excitement from her online content in her writing which makes the book so inviting.
Note: Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, digital ARC of the book. My cohost, Courtney, and I were given access to the book to review on our podcast, The Book of the Mouse Club, and to prepare for an interview with the author, Danielle Kelly coming later in April to wherever you get your podcasts.

As a Disney adult, I feel aptly qualified to talk about and review this book. While this isn’t a book for a person already “in the know” about Disney, it is a good book for those who are new or fairly new to the Disney World Scene.
The illustrations are gorgeous and trendy and the information is good and easy to read.
Thank you Danielle Kelly, Adam’s Media and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions stated are my own.

This great book basically gives you the back stories and insights of all the "lands" in Magic Kingdom. It provides fun quizzes and questions for readers. Loved it from beginning to end. Such a fun read about a place that holds many wonderful memories for me.
