Holiday Magic at the Disney Parks: Celebrations Around the World from Fall to Winter (Disney Editions Deluxe)
R**S
What an amazing, lavishly-photographed book!
Even with vivid memories of dozens of trips to Disney properties from coast to coast and on the seas, almost nightly visits to Disney+, and the perusal of endless Disney-related websites, there’s just something about holding a beautiful, lavish book about Disney filled with images and words…The trio of researchers, writers, and photographers who logged more than 180,000 miles visiting every Disney park and resort across the globe, personally documenting the holiday installations through eighty thousand photographs did an amazing job.The stories and contributions from so many unsung Cast Members (often hard at work at hours of the night when others are asleep) fill these pages, along with the joys of Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year celebrations.It’s a bittersweet memory knowing that these celebrations won’t be held this year, and may not return in the future as they once were. But, in the spirit of Walt Disney’s words, “There are ups and downs all the time. But around here we don’t look backwards.”I think what Walt Disney said about Disneyland: “The park will never be finished. I can keep improving every year. Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world” is going to be true about the future of Disney properties, Cast Members, and experiences all around the world.The magic is stirring...

Every Disney Fan Needs This!
My mom and I are HUGE Disney fans, but we don't have the money to go to the parks all the time like most people do, so we live vicariously through vlogs on YouTube. This book really brought the magic to us and we were able to see all the lovely decorations for the holidays up close and in person! We did attend the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in 2015, but we only had one night, so we missed out on a lot of stuff. This book showed us everything that we missed along with showing how the other parks around the world celebrate the holidays as well. The pictures are amazing and wonderfully well done! Everything is so bright and colorful and it always makes me happy to go back and look through it.A lovely side note, one of the vlogs we watch, The Dis Unplugged, had a wonderful interview on their Connecting with Walt ((normally an audio podcast)) show with the creators of the book and they showed pictures along with the interview. The stories that these creators told were amazing and very awe-inspiring! Listening to them talk, you really hear how passionate they were about this project and the release of the book! If you're interesting, try searching YouTube for it and see what they have to say!

Just A LOT of GORGEOUS images of the many Parks & Celebrations; historical & recent!!
The book is filled with many, many wonderful photos and interesting anecdotes about the development and growth of the Parks' seasonal decor...you will see things you missed and see things familiar: it is a big book and deserves a good sit-down. There is detail in every image!Probably one of my favorite moments was when I took off the dust jacket (I didn't want to snag the paper edge on my newly-enlarged -thank you, COVID- reading belly)... the book itself has an image of the castle illuminated that is just visually stunning! -An excellent start to a delightful voyage through the amazing creativity that abounds at the Parks!You will have to really work to be disappointed with the riches within this book. Stay well!

Way better than I expected (and I had high expectations)!
When the box arrived containing my book, I thought it must also have other items that I ordered. Nope! When I opened the box, there was this huge book occupying the whole thing! Already surprised by the shear size of it, I started flipping through the pages - WOW! So many pictures! Not only are they beautiful pics of the holiday decorations, but pics of such minute details of things I never would have noticed from far away. I also need to mention that the colors of the pictures seem to jump off the pages! The authors did not go the cheap route when it came to producing this masterpiece.My favorite part is the Haunted Mansion overlay section (where Halloween & Christmas collide). The one thing I was hoping to see was the different designs between the centerpiece cakes found in the Haunted Mansion's ballroom. While not all of them were shown, a good portion are represented.I can't recommend this book enough!

It's All in the Details!
I am not one to normally write reviews, but I just had to go on Amazon and tell everyone about this amazing, wonderful, incredible Disney book. It covers in so much incredible detail all of the Halloween, fall, and Christmas decor at all of the parks and cruise ships.If you are like me and take pictures of everything at the parks and resorts during the holidays, you will absolutely love this book! It is a must-have for your Disney collection.You can definitely tell that there was a lot of time, effort, and care put into the creation of this book. They have managed to capture so much detail, everything from the general holiday decor to the small ornaments on the wreaths. It brings up so many memories and touches my heart.If you love the Disney parks at the holidays, this is a must-have book for you!

Great book but the hard copy is big.
Great book filled with pics of Disney celebrations around the world. Great narrative also, however this book is big. Depending on the size of your coffee table, it may take up significant space. Think large cookie sheet size.

Impressive and comprehensive
This book spans the history of all Disney parks worldwide. The main attraction for this book is the exhaustive, beautiful photos of decorations, shows, ride overlays, and parades. It's well-presented and the photos (and there are thousands) are given room to breathe. Tons of decorating ideas!Each chapter, even as a hardcore Disney parks nerd, included stuff I'd never known about. It may be the best official Disney book about the parks I've seen.

Libro favoloso..per tutti i Disneyland Lovers
Libro ricevuto ieri, correttamente e perfezionamento imballato dal fornitore esterno!Per gli appassionati è qualcosa di spettacolare, foto da tutti i parchi del mondo per qualsiasi tipo di evento.Ricchissimo di immagini e informazioni.Unica pecca, il libro è arrivato senza il cellophane che copriva il libro, leggermente rovinato nella parte superiore esterna.
