With nearly 250 lists spread over 360 pages, it's guaranteed to quiet the back seat crowd on the long drive to Anaheim.--San Jose Mercury News This volume of lists promises a new way to explore over 60 years of Disneyland history --and it delivers on that promise.

While this book would be an enjoyable read for any Disney fan--particularly those who have made the trip to Anaheim once or twice or those who are are planning a trip--the true target audience for the majority of this book is the frequent visitor to the California park. The list format makes this book an easy read--or more so a book to pick up and browse through--and a perfect pick me up when you're suffering from Disney withdrawals. --The Disney World Dads It really is amazing to think that anyone can even come up with 250 lists about our beloved theme park, but Strodder does. . . . I found the lists overwhelmingly accessible and intriguing.
