درباره این ای-کتاب

The Disneyland Book of Lists offers a new way to explore six decades of Disneyland® history. Hundreds of fascinating lists cover the past and present and feature everything from the park’s famous attractions, shops, restaurants, parades, and live shows to the creative artists, designers, characters, and performers who have made Disneyland® the world’s most beloved theme park.

Inside the pages of this fun- and fact-filled book you will find:

• 13 of Walt Disney’s Disneyland® Favorites
• 32 Signs and Structures Reminding of Disneyland’s® Past
• A Dozen Scary Moments on Disneyland® Attractions
• 47 Disneyland® Parades
• 18 Secrets in the Haunted Mansion
• 30 Jokes from the Jungle Cruise

• 15 Urban Legends
• 123 Celebrity Guests
• 26 Attractions and Exhibits with the Longest Names

• A Dozen World Records Set at Disneyland®

In addition to lists created by author Chris Strodder (The Disneyland® Encyclopedia), the book will include lists from celebrities, Disneyland® experts and historians, Disneyland® Imagineers and designers, and other current and former Disneyland® employees.

People have been making lists since Biblical times (think Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, compiled 2,100 years ago), and to this day various top tens, hit parades, and bucket lists chronicle every aspect of our lives. But until now, no book has used lists to categorize all the diverse elements in Disneyland®. Fun, fascinating, factual, and sixty years in the making, The Disneyland® Book of Lists is the only Disneyland® book of its kind.
