“Four Decades of Magic is a terrific stroll down memory lane for any Disney fan and the perfect tribute for Walt Disney World’s 40th anniversary. The book knits together its own “Carousel of Progress” of sorts through a collection of entertaining tales and insightful essays by notable Disney experts about favorite parts of Disney World’s magical journey to date. Four Decades is a charming anthology of Disney memories and intriguing behind-the-scenes insights that range from If You Had Wings and The Hoop Dee Doo Review, to “resorts that never were” and the Beastly Kingdom section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom that never materialized.”

Vicki Johnson, Principal/CEO of Vicki Johnson Communications, LLC, former Walt Disney Parks & Resorts executive
