There’s nothing like the holidays.
For some, there’s no place better for the holidays than a Disney theme park, resort, or cruise ship.
For anyone who has been and is looking to reminisce, or anyone who has not and wants to see what could be waiting, there’s Holidays Magic at the Disney Parks: Celebrations Around the World from Fall to Winter by Graham Allan, Rebecca Cline, and Charlie Price – all staff of The Walt Disney Company.
This hefty volume is replete with engaging color photos, more than 1,900 in all that span nearly 400 pages (and around seven decades), illuminating holiday magic, done Disney-style.
Skip across the globe from Anaheim to Shanghai via engaging photos that document Disney’s holiday efforts from back in the day (you might even spy Walt Disney himself in some) to more recent times. From the tiniest of ornaments to the tallest of trees and topiaries, Disney’s holiday decor transforms its properties, inspiring that holiday feel and setting the stage for now time-honored holiday events, all captured in Holiday Magic at the Disney Parks.
The authors provide introductory text at the beginning of each chapter, the subjects of which include bygone traditions, holiday fun and celebrations, feasts and festivals, behind-the-scenes looks, and more.
However, the main draw here, as it is at the theme parks and resorts, is the visual celebration of the holidays.
Through archival photos and newly-taken pics intended especially for this voluminous treatment of the magic of Disney holidays, fans get to feast their eyes on Disney’s holiday magic at any time of the year.
Holiday Magic at the Disney Parks: Celebrations Around the World from Fall to Winter is available for check out from your library.
