The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Hollywood Studios


The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Hollywood Studios
The fifth in a series of pocket-sized paperbacks answers the question, "What would it be like to walk through Disney's Hollywood Studios with an Imagineer by your side?" The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Hollywood Studios provides that experience: pointing out details and telling stories, back stories, and Imagineering insights never before heard, condensed into a portable, easily-referenced park guide. You'll never spend time at the Studios the same way again.

Each spread contains fascinating textual information and related images (drawings, photos, graphics) such as:

¨ Set-up, backgrounds, and origins of each park/land/mini-land

¨ Concept art to compare to the finished show

¨ Timeline information (opening dates, previous shows in the same venue, alterations and updates)

- Photography of the details and big pictures being discussed

¨ Special props, design sources, artistic inspirations, nomenclature gags


Disney's Dance-Along
Customer Review: songs are ok, sound quality not great
The songs are actually good songs - but they seem to be re-recorded. They are not the original songs. The sound quality of the CD is poor - treble seems to be too high and not enough base. I played this on a CD player that has great sound quality with my other CDs, but not with this one. I am very disappointed in this CD. The sound quality is so awful, we listened to it once, and have never listened to it again. I would not recommend this CD.
Customer Review: Dance Along
I put this on when a friend was here and we were dancing and having a great time with each song that came up. I'm 56 and I felt like a kid again. There's the twist, the bunny hop, a great polka,the jitterbug and more. Personally, I was pleased that the songs were NOT sung by Disney characters....although the cover to the CD alludes to that. There are just a few quacks from Donald Duck and a tiny bit from Goofy and Mickey, just enough to flavor it. I can see it being fun for all ages. I use many songs with Dancing Hands hand taps, a fun percussion instrument that sounds like tap dancing.
