Disneyland frequenter, SO PLEASED!
I take my family to Disneyland at least once a year, so needless to say, we are fans! But I just have to say, this had me grinning from ear to ear! It transports you straight to the park in your mind! Flipping through the pages just made me think of all those locations and the great memories I have there! If you are a Disney Parks fan, you’ve got to grab this book!

Great book, took my mom down memory lane
I got this book delivered and me and my mom who has mild memory loss due to being older, and as we flipped through and looked at the pictures she started telling stories about when she went as a child and what extinct attractions she remembers are best. She also somehow remembered most of which rides used different tickets, and I showed her my tub poster of an E-Ticket book and surprisingly she remembered all of them. Thank you for adding what may be one of the last happy memories of her with her full memories intact as Alzheimer’s is strong in my family and she’s getting older 10/10 would recommend especially for older people who remember all the rides, extinct or not. Or any age if it’s cool poster art is all your looking for

big, beautiful, and brightly colored! (smells good, too...)
i have always loved the vintage disney posters, and when i saw this book available for pre-order, i jumped all over it!the size is PERFECT! approximately 11x14, the size is perfect to showcase the posters to full effect, even when not full-page.the chapters are listed as follows:one: here you leave today...two: main street, u.s.a.three: adventurelandfour: new orleans square and liberty squarefive: frontierlandsix: fantasylandseven: tomorrowlandeight: tokyo disneyseanine: disney california adventureone thing, right off the bat, that i loved, was seeing the juxtapostion of the different posters for the same attractions from the different parks. it is lovely to see how nuanced the art can become from one country to the next. it is also helpful that under each poster it shows which park the poster was designed for, as well as the artist and the year it was made.the pages and binding are top notch. the book smells GREAT! a lot of the full-page posters would be more than suitable for framing. some of the stand out images are as follows:p.16: main street railroad poster in pastel pinkp.34: swiss family treehouse (the colors are vibrant and beautiful)p.41: indiana jones adventure, temple of the forbidden eye (AWESOME!)p.44: adventure isle, disneyland paris (now THIS would have been worth buying the book for all by itself!)p.67: phantom manor, disneyland paris (another shining example of how the same attraction differs from park to park)p.78: storybook land canal boats (the first attraction i worked at disneyland many years ago...happy memories)p.105: disneyland monorail mark vii (a new poster created in 2008)p.132: red car trolley, disney california adventure (very period, VERY beautiful)i had no idea that so many contemporary pieces would be here, but wow! of course there are a lot of the classics (pirates, haunted mansion, tiki room, alice in wonderland, etc.), but there were lovely pieces such as the finding nemo attraction, as well as an abundance of posters from tokyo disneysea. i was also pleased to see several from california adventure. the red trolley poster is one i may actually frame. which means i will likely order another copy of this gorgeous book. :)all in all, if you are a fan of disney (past or present), art, or history (or any combination of these), you will not be disappointed in this worthy book!

Posters and Disney a Great Combination
This is a large coffee table style book displaying various attraction posters. The book is called Poster Art for the Disney Parks, but not all parks are represented fully. Since most posters are from rides in the Magic Kingdom, that gets the biggest section. Each land in the MK has its own chapter with a brief writeup about the posters. Since every park (Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disney and Disneyland Paris) has a Magic Kingdom, the attractions are all mixed in based on the land. Some attractions that appear in multiple parks will have multiple posters, but not all (no Buzz Lightyear for WDW). After the MK, there is a chapter for California Adventure and Tokyo DisneySea. Noticeably missing are the other WDW parks (Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom). If one of the other parks has a ride that appears in one of those three, there may be a poster for it, but not always.According to the book, the non-MK parks used less posters. But, posters do exist because in the first chapter they show small versions of posters from those 3 parks, so why not include them???The posters range from quarter page to full page (hopefully your favorite is a full page - because they look great). The small WDW non-MK posters in the first chapter are about 1/6 page. An extra full page poster is included in the back and can be torn out (I won't, but maybe you will). It is a back to back sheet, so really two posters.If you like attraction posters and their art, or you like Disney and want a remembrance of rides still here and some gone, get this book.I decided not to downgrade the review to 4 stars for the lack of posters from the 3 parks, but that lack really makes it a 4 1/2 star book.

Not really what I was expecting
This doesn’t really have “posters” you can use on your wall. I was originally told by someone on the internet it was a great one to use for posters but no. It doesn’t have hardly anything from Disney world, mostly Disneyland. If you want a book about the signs of Disney parks for your coffee table, this is great.

Damaged cover. Disappointing
This is a really lovely book but it looks used there is damage to the dust cover. I expected, at this price, to get a wrapped, brand new, book. Given the current situation I cannot be faffed sending it back for safety reasons, plus I want the book and no guarantee that the next one won’t be in the same poor condition. Disappointed

disney history
book was bought for our son ,but the whole family is disney mad.the book achieves what it set out to do ,and that is to inform the reader of the work that goes into every attraction ,and by advertising with the posters . the book is a priceless gem of information, and there is a possibility that we may have to gat another one as this one is already looking worse for wear, as it is an ideal information centre.well worth the price and more. the book is a goldmine of disney information. if you like disney then this is for you.recommended with 6 stars

Brilliant birthday present
I bought this for my boyfriends sister as a birthday gift, and if you know someone who is absolutely obsessed with the Disney Parks, this is a perfect gift! There’s a tone of information in there about all the different designs, includes designs from multiple parks, and the actual poster art in the book is very high quality.I would definitely recommend this if you’re shopping for a Disney fanatic, she absolutely loved it! Would also be perfect just to have in the house maybe as a coffee table book.

Poor Condition For New Book
The book is lovely, perfect for a Disney parks fan but the book turned up in very poor condition. The cover was very dusty / dirty with marks on it and the corners of dust cover were scuffed. this is a Christmas gift and it looks second hand.
