Years later I had the privilege of meeting Herb Ryman who mapped 'The Happiest Place on Earth' for Walt Disney before it was even built (!) and Sam McKim who created many of our treasured Disney maps. To look at a map of a Disney park is to relive visits past and dream of visits yet to be. . . This book promises to satisfy those twin emotions!"― Brian Sibley, writer, broadcaster, and Disney scholar PRAISE FOR MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS "There are many books out there about Walt Disney, The Walt Disney Company, and the Disney Parks, and two that are a must for any Disney fan are Maps of the Disney Parks: Charting 60 Years from California to Shanghai and Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia, 5th Edition. . . .
