Cloaked in secrecy for years, the project began as one of the world's biggest, most ambitious, and little-known undertakings. Military research installation? No, Walt Disney World. Orlando's Walt Disney World is not only the most visited theme park in the world, it's also the most technologically advanced. From a network of underground tunnels connecting the various regions of the park, to the space-age propulsion technology called linear synchronous motors, Disney has been at the leading edge of theme park technology since it invented the theme park with the opening of Disneyland in 1954. Soaring castles, sleek monorails, life-like animatronics, Modern Marvels: Walt Disney World takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the ingenious technology and incredible engineering feats that went into building the 27,000 acre complex.

Customer Review: A Must Have
Simply the most comprehensive Disney guide on the market!! We're just back from our 1st trip to WDW with our 2 and 3 year old girls. The book and the personalized tour plans were a Godsend to us as "newbies"...The personalized plans worked to perfection and lessened our family's anxiety. Best Advice: Take the kids back to hotel or wherever you are staying for lunch and a break/nap. They came back refreshed for the evening.
Customer Review: Best Book EVER!!!
This is a MUST for ANYONE who is planning a trip to Disneyworld. We went for the 1st time in 2000 and I read this book cover to cover before going. It MADE our trip. We did not spend a lot of time trying to figure things out. It shortens your line wait time by guiding you through that process. It is not written by Disney, so it gives you all things Disney - good and bad. I have been 2 more times since then and I buy the book each time for the maps and as a reference to see what's new. WONDERFUL TOOL. I saw several people who were carrying it around Disneyworld. I left the book in my cabin at Fort Wilderness and tore out the map pages and took them into the parks with me.......
