"The Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia"

The Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia: A guide to the flora, fauna, and fun of the world's greatest theme park! (R. A. Pederson)

Not really an encyclopedia - The author, I assume, avowedly avoided appliciable advice to always abstain from alliteration - this is really a history and rundown of Epcot, from the pavilions to the rides. Most of the book - about 80% - is about the front half of Epcot, Futureland (understandable, since the back half, the World Showcase, is mostly un-changing shops). The star attraction is the detailed rundowns of the rides, and as far as I've seen, this is the best place to get information about what the rides used to be like - the written information in this book is much more comprehensive and understandable than shaky YouTube footage, and the behind the scenes information sprinkled in is a nice touch. (It seems like this is a great resource if your husband never went on, say, Horizens, or the original Journey Into Imagination, and you're going crazy attempting to explain it to him.) About the only bad things I can say is that, being what looks like a self-published labor of love, there are a few goofy grammar and spelling errors, and that obviously if you don't give a fuck about Disney you'll be bored out of your skull. You grinch you.
