When i heard Danielle was doing a book, i couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Discovered via tiktok for her history facts on the parks has translated into this informative and fun book on Magic Kingdom. I do how they continue to work together on the other parks

Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

Such a cute, easy, fun read! I am a Disney lover, but have never been to Disney world! I know the travesty right?! I have been wanting to plan my trip and I had such a good time reading all of the fun exciting things to do that I probably other wise would have missed! After, reading this i definitely know that there are somethings I’ve added to my Disney to-do list

The trivia was an added extra bonus!

If you’re planing your next your next Disney trip, don’t skip this book! Danielle has such a unique and fun voice in this everything you need to know guide of Disney!

Thank you so much for gifting me a copy to review!

“I Love Disney’s Magic Kingdom” takes you on a counter clockwise tour around the Magic Kingdom (Counter clockwise? Why? Read the book and find out!) with attraction descriptions and tips for readers to plan for their upcoming Disney vacation. Danielle Kelly uses her former cast member expertise and friendly personality to give an engaging tour around the Kingdom that preserves the magic of Disney while also giving readers a glimpse backstage.

I appreciated the accessibility of the book. The icons differentiating attractions, food, history, Park Pointers, Extra Magic, and trivia neatly organized the book and Danielle transitions seamlessly from one section to the next. Its layout makes it easy to flip back and forth to re-find information which is necessary for a guide book. At no point did I feel overwhelmed by information that can happen with other guide books. This guide book isn’t an overwhelming checklist for planning a Disney vacation, but a walk around the park with a friend who will make you excited about visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth.

Newcomers to the Kingdom will also feel like Disney insiders with some Extra Magic and Trivia shared by Danielle. Even frequent visitors to Disney, like myself, will learn something new. The trivia was my favorite part of the book. And if you follow Danielle Kelly, aka Dapper Danielle, on social media, you will recognize her humor and excitement from her online content in her writing which makes the book so inviting.

Note: Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, digital ARC of the book. My cohost, Courtney, and I were given access to the book to review on our podcast, The Book of the Mouse Club, and to prepare for an interview with the author, Danielle Kelly coming later in April to wherever you get your podcasts.

Extremely helpful and interesting tips for Disney enthusiasts. I cannot wait to go to Disney and try out these tips and tricks.
It was so nice to read about Disney and provide some sense of magic whilst not able to be in the park!

Extensive book about all things Disney.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Danielle Kelly’s love and appreciation for Disney history shines through in this unofficial guide to the Magic Kingdom. Her unique voice and humor was present through out the book. There are so many hidden details across the park that are frequently overlooked. Danielle highlights those details while adding additional insight into the Disney company history and park/ride development.

I loved the little bits of insight on the attractions that can be found in multiple parks. As someone a bit more familiar with Disneyland it was an added bonus that there are details that are applicable to both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom.

The trivia quizzes are a great addition.

Will definitely be recommending to friends and family for their next trip or any Disney enthusiast!

Thank you to the publisher for providing an e-arc via NetGalley.

This is such a lovely 'starter pack' to visiting Walt Disney World. Part biography, part guidebook...with a few quizzes thrown in, this is a great little package of interesting details and facts to help you get the most out of your trip to Disney! Im a bit of a Disney geek so a lot of the info included here was known to me but i still enjoyed the experience.

This book will appeal to the child in ALL of us, whether we be six or sixty, and would be the perfect gift as well as a great resource for those looking to plan a trip or in the midst of planning one. It’s also the perfect addition to every Disney addicts at-home library! This book is many things — fascinating historical facts, extremely current information on the park today, fun trivia, and an answer to so many questions fans have about Magic Kingdom Park!

My favorite? The bits of *extra magic* sprinkled throughout the book. These are more often than not the things that are easily overlooked at magic kingdom - those little, fun Easter eggs that Disney is so kind to gift us with. And that the author is patient enough to share with us in detail.

Park pointers in the book cover topics that range from pin trading, unique places to watch the fireworks from, hidden walking routes within the park, tips on making reservations for sit down restaurants, as well as helpful & fun information to use during character meet and greets. These park pointers even go so far as to helping us make the most magic on our Disney trips, even tips that extend to the Halloween and Christmas parties!

The map of Magic Kingdom in the front of the book as well as the index in the back are both such helpful tools to what you’re looking for quickly.

This book is a 10/10 and enjoyable from beginning to end whether this is your first introduction to Magic Kingdom Park or if you consider it an old friend by this point. You’ll learn something and you will smile while doing it!

There is so much detail at Disney Parks that it is easy to overlook, this book will help you to find these hidden gems.
From the behind the scenes facts, to the trivia, quizzes, and all of the little details about beloved rides, there is so much to love and learn in this book. I Love Disney's Magic Kingdom is the perfect park read whether it's your first visit to the parks or your 1,000th!

*Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I will start this out by saying I am a lifetime lover of WDW, Disney, and Disney history. I have been going to Disney World since I was a baby so I have 30+years of Disney knowledge and experience. I specifically wanted to check out this book because I love @dapperdanielle so much and somehow still learn so much from her extensive Disney knowledge. This is fantastic guide with great little known facts and lots of tips dusted through out. I even learned a couple things! I think anyone from first time visitors to lifetime park goers can learn something from this book and I would recommend picking it up before you make your trip. I hope she does one for each of the WDW parks, I would love to learn more behind the scenes magic from all of them!

Thank you NetGalley and Adams Media for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Great read for any Disney nerd. I read it on the way to Disney and it gave me a lot of cool things to think about and look forward to.

If you're a Disney enthusiast or just someone who cherishes the magic of the Magic Kingdom, this book is a true gem. I Love Disney’s Magic Kingdom dives deep into every corner of the park, from the nostalgic charm of Main Street, U.S.A., to the whimsical wonder of Fantasyland. It's packed with everything a Disney fan could dream of—trivia to surprise even seasoned park-goers, fascinating behind-the-scenes facts, and interactive quizzes that make you feel like you're part of the magic. Written by a former Disney cast member, the book carries an insider's touch, offering unique tidbits about beloved attractions, rides, and even snacks that make the park experience unforgettable. Whether you're reliving cherished memories or planning your next visit, this handbook is like having a personal tour guide in your hands.

What makes this book so delightful is the attention to detail. Did you know that Lady and Tramp's paw prints are immortalized just outside Tony’s Town Square Restaurant? Or that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad feels like a wild ride but only reaches a modest 36 mph thanks to its clever design? Even small gestures, like the spare change from “it’s a small world” being donated to children’s charities, highlight the heart behind the magic. Whether you're a frequent visitor or someone who dreams of visiting, this book keeps the enchantment alive long after you've left the park gates. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves discovering the stories and secrets that make Disney’s Magic Kingdom so extraordinary.

I love to read books about Disney because I always find some tidbit fact/trivia/information that's fun to learn. This book is no exception.
This book looks fresh, it's easy to ready and has lovely art.

If you love Disney, or you're planning a trip and want to be a bit more "in the know."
you'll love this book.

Thank you to Adams Media and Net Galley for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review.

As a Disney adult, I feel aptly qualified to talk about and review this book. While this isn’t a book for a person already “in the know” about Disney, it is a good book for those who are new or fairly new to the Disney World Scene.

The illustrations are gorgeous and trendy and the information is good and easy to read.

Thank you Danielle Kelly, Adam’s Media and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions stated are my own.

So..I could barely read it since the words were so light. It was a good book overall but could really have some more spacing. I love Disney and the Magic Kingdom but this book doesn’t really do it for me.
