Les livres sur les Parcs Disney

Il s'agit d'une édition offerte aux invités, aux médias et influenceurs à l'occasion du lancement du spectacle Momentous – The Most Magical Show on Earth mais une édition tout public serait prochainement mis en vente dans les kiosques à Hong Kong (ce même type de collaboration avec un magazine local a déjà été réalisée à une ou deux reprises récemment, avec succès visiblement).

On en sait un petit plus sur 100 Disney Adventures of a Lifetime : Magical Experiences from Around the World dont l'édition de luxe sortira début octobre et l'édition standard deux mois plus tard :

100 Disney Adventures of a Lifetime : Magical Experiences from Around the World de Marcy Carriker Smothers (National Geographic Society, 2022).

From the most beloved signature experiences--Epcot's International Flower Show, breakfast with beloved characters at Chef Mickey's, and getting dolled up like a princess before your day at the park--to the hidden VIP wonders like a private dinner in the wine cellar the Grand Floridian or drinks at the exclusive, members-only Club 33, this illuminating guidebook celebrates and reveals the best experiences in and around Disney resorts and parks all over the globe.

And so much more!

Along with beautiful imagery that will help shape your bucket list, this fantastic guide includes pilgrimages to historic Disney sites, like Walt's hometown haunts in Chicago and Tam O'Shanter's in Los Angeles where there's a table named in his honor. Plus, National Geographic provides the inside stories of some of Disney's most beloved attractions.

Each of these 100 adventures--from Walt Disney World in Orlando to the Galapagos Islands to Disneyland Tokyo--will have you believing in magic and wonder all over again.

Comme je l'annonçais il y a quelques jours, Disneyland Paris a débuté la vente d'ouvrages consacrés à WDW.
C'est une excellente nouvelle !

Si vous allez sur le parc cette semaine et que vous voyez ce livre :




Est-ce que vous pourriez me le dire, s’il vous plaît ? J’y vais vendredi et je voudrais l’acheter avec la réduction de mon Pass. Merci beaucoup.

Il n'y a pas de réductions PA sur le prix des livres conformément à la loi Lang de 1981.
Il n'était pas en boutique dimanche, à voir d'ici vendredi.

Merci d’avoir pris le temps de me répondre. Hélas, mon amie (avec qui je devais aller sur le parc vendredi) a eu un contretemps. Donc, entre autres regrets (les autres sont plus importants), je n’aurais pas l’occasion d’acheter les livres dont j’avais envie.

A priori, ce livre est bien sorti hier aux USA comme prévu mais il est en pré-commande pour le 8 décembre sur les différents sites amazon européens. Quelqu'un aurait une annonce officielle que j'aurai loupé par hasard?

Le livre est bien sorti et il est également disponible en Europe (voir le site de vente en ligne The Book Depository qui appartient à... Amazon).

Merci pour la réponse
The book depository indique également une date au 8 décembre. Je vais m’en faire une raison malheureusement

Description de l'éditeur : Welcome to Disneyland’s opening day!

Presenting Disneyland features never-before-seen color images captured by a Disney studio employee, an invited guest of Disneyland on the day it was introduced to the world.

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room Before the Birds Sang Words de Ken Bruce (Freisen's Corporation, 2023). 


Description de l'éditeur :  The  result of of more than a decade of meticulous research, Before the Birds Sang Words is a scholarly, fascinating and playful deep dive into the creation of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, the timeless Audio-Animatronic musical revue that’s been delighting Disneyland audiences for over sixty years. Detailing not only the genesis and evolution of the revolutionary attraction, this is a story that also explores the contributing influences and passions of the man who spearheaded it—in turn becoming one of Walt Disney’s most personal projects. Full of set backs and surprises, the tale of the Tiki Room began long before an army of marauding pirates, grinning ghosts or singing dolls set up shop at Disneyland. In fact, the seeds for the world’s most famous tropical hideaway were planted well before Disneyland, before Mickey Mouse, before even Walt himself. With a foreword by writer-director Brad Bird, Before the Birds Sang Words is quite the story. For those ready to take the flight—you lucky people, you! "Masterful in its execution, and likely the best written work on the development of a theme park attraction ever attempted. Run, don’t walk to pick this one up," writes Imagineer and historian Christopher Merritt. Applause! Applause! This truly is THE book I've waited my entire life to read," adds Disney Parks Collectibles designer Kevin Kidney. "It's such an enlightening read. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

et comme d'habitude shopdisney ne le propose pas sur son site! je suis dégoutée! ceux qui sont loin du parc ne peuvent jamais profiter des sorties livres!
en tout cas merci pour l'annonce!

Dream Chasing : Four Decades of Failure and Success with Walt Disney Imagineering de Bob Weis (Disney Edition, 2024).


Description de l'éditeur : Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador Bob Weis inspires with his life journey, told through this entertaining narrative memoir.
Dreams come from a place of infinite possibilities, from a part of us that doesn't recognize limits. Dreams are exciting, frustrating, and sometimes illusive, as hard to hold on to as pixie dust, like glitter falling through your fingers. Sometimes they are meant to happen, and they do, sometimes they are meant to happen, and they don't.

During the early 1950s, Walt Disney began to gather a rag tag team of artists and engineers to help him formulate dreams that more than seven years later would become Disneyland. Walt's team of dreamers all shared certain attributes. They could expand on his notions, give them form and shape, and reality. They had no fear of opening new doors or trying new things. They were curious, and willing to explore ideas down new paths. Ultimately, Walt described his dreamers as possessing a blending of creative imagination with technical know-how. They called it "Imagineering," and most of all they could dream together. They could collaborate with Walt, and they could collaborate with each other.

Bob Weis was part of the second generation of Imagineers. During his 40-year career at Walt Disney Imagineering, he spent a lot of time chasing dreams along a bumpy road to great achievement.In this entertaining illustrated volume, Bob shares his journey--growing up a half hour from Disneyland, pursuing an architecture degree, and how taking a part-time job at the Happiest Place on Earth would lead to an unimaginably creative career culminating as the president of Walt Disney Imagineering.

Description de l'éditeur : For Disney dreamers and doers alike, this inspirational book, is a practical how-to guide to infuse your personal spaces with wonder and whimsy!

Disney theme parks are immersive environments—part living museum, part botanical garden, and part interactive art exhibition. Most of all, they’re places to find inspiration to enhance everyday life. Sprinkled throughout these parks are visual cues and vignettes with ingenious ideas. Sparks of design brilliance are everywhere. From the way the edible landscaping is arranged in Tomorrowland to the use of ornate Victorian wallpaper in the foyer of the Haunted Mansion, there are so many ways to bring the magic home.

As mix of Disney history, interior design, garden design, and DIY project studies, this visually detailed coffee table book charts how to infuse your personal spaces with the wonder and whimsy found at Disneyland and Walt Disney World . It also looks at those who created the elements that serve as our muse: Walt Disney Imagineers—both past and present—who mostly work discreetly behind the scenes, shrouded in mystery. In this peek behind the curtain, find out more about their special brand of magic. Inside, look for:

- Each chapter as dedicated to a theme based on select attractions from around the theme parks

- Original concept artwork from the Walt Disney Imagineering Art Collection

- Interviews and photographs from families, such as those behind a Haunted Mansion bathroom and a Small World nursery

- Sidebars ranging from the types of edible plants used in landscape design at Tomorrowland to Lilian Disney’s interior design efforts in Walt Disney’s Disneyland Apartment.

- Tips on how to bring a bit of Disney magic into your own environments

This is a gift that Disney collectors, theme park fans, and anyone interested in bringing a little Disney magic into their lives will love.

Walt Disney's Disneyland de Chris & Charlene Nichols (Taschen Éditions, 2024).

A venir à l'automne (octobre 2024), les Mémoires de Martha Blanding, devenue la toute première Afro-Américaine à réaliser une carrière d'un demi-siècle au sein de The Walt Disney Company.

L'histoire passionnante et émouvante d'une jeune femme du sud de Los Angeles (Watts et Compton, quartiers où vivaient majoritairement des Afro-Américains, théâtre d'importantes émeutes raciales) qui a tenté sa chance, a défié tous les pronostics.

Ce livre est un voyage personnel à travers cinquante ans du Disneyland Park raconté comme jamais auparavant.

Martha Blanding a commencé à travailler à Disneyland Park en 1971 comme première guide touristique de couleur du parc.

En moins d'un an, elle a été promue hôtesse VIP, accompagnant des personnalités légendaires du divertissement telles que Diana Ross, Elton John, Olivia Newton-John, Cary Grant, Rock Hudson et de nombreux représentants gouvernementaux nationaux et internationaux, y compris une délégation de l'URSS.

Martha est rapidement devenue la toute première femme de couleur à rejoindre les cadres de Disneyland Park, devenant une experte en achats de marchandises et finalement la directrice des événements spéciaux de Disneyland Resort, supervisant des événements générant plusieurs millions de dollars !

En partie Mémoire et en partie histoire culturelle et sociale, Groundbreaking Magic est doux, perspicace, parfois direct, parfois déchirant, souvent drôle et surprenant, offrant le tout premier récit de l'histoire de Disney vue à travers les yeux de "Martha B" .



Groundbreaking Magic : A Black Woman’s Journey Through The Happiest Place on Earth de Martha Blanding (Disney Editions, 2024)



Description de l'éditeur : An empowering and moving story of a young woman from South Central Los Angeles (Watts and Compton) who took a chance, defied the odds, and became the first-ever Black American to achieve a half-century-long career with The Walt Disney Company.

Disneyland was groundbreaking when it opened in 1955 and continues to possess a legacy of being a trend setter in both the world of themed, immersive, entertainment and workplace culture, experiences, and training. Although change was inevitable it didn’t always come easy.

Here is the incredible story of a young woman from South Central Los Angeles (Watts and Compton) who took a chance, defied the odds, and became the first-ever Black American to achieve a half-century-long career with The Walt Disney Company.

When Martha Blanding started working at Disneyland Park in 1971, it was already a wildly successful and internationally beloved travel destination that had welcomed more than 100 million guests. This book is a personal journey through fifty years of Disneyland as told like never before . . . through the eyes and perspective of a successful Black woman who was indeed an example of Groundbreaking Magic.

This book tells how a twenty-year-old college student came to work in Walt Disney’s original theme park during the racially charged era of the early 1970s, starting as the park’s first Black tour guide and eventually overseeing multi-million dollar generating merchandise-based events, many featuring globally acclaimed artists and celebrities. Martha also had a unique vantage point as she saw how societal changes impacted and changed Disneyland while she helped make much of that change possible.

In addition to all the Disney pixie dust, an incredibly loving, resilient, and close American family is at the heart of this book. With her bedrock parents who had joined the Great Migration out of the Deep South, her family witnessed firsthand some of our country’s most shameful events while never faltering in their faith or pride in being Black Americans.

Part memoir and part cultural history, Groundbreaking Magic is sweet, insightful, sometimes blunt, occasionally heartbreaking, and often funny and surprising, providing the first-ever account of Disney history as seen through the eyes of “Martha B.”
