Geek's Thoughts: Like all Disneygeeks out there I really enjoy Disney Trivia so this book intrigued me. This book covers a lot of ground and topics related to Walt Disney World including the theme parks, the resorts, the water parks, and everything in between. Its hard to believe this is the second volume of great questions and even better answers from Louis Mongello. Even for those who know the answers I would recommend spending some time reading the answers you will be amazed at the additional tidbits of info that are presented. I also found the, Did you know? boxes throughout the book a fun read.

 

A couple of format items that I really liked with this book. The first is an index in the back. So if you want to look up questions relating to say the Wilderness Express you can find the two that relate to this topic with ease. I have not seen any other trivia type book that does this.

One issue I do have with the book is if you are reading it through, as I was vs. using it as a trivia test is that the questions are not repeated when the answers are given. So you have to do a lot of flipping back and forth. This got on my nerves after a while. I would have liked to have seen the question (not all the choices, but the question) repeated by the answers to make it a quicker read.

Also the true geek in me would have liked to have seen a section of just the questions, no multiple choice... but then again if you have someone else to read the questions you can use it as a game (which my family likes to do, called stump the geek) and not give them the answer choices.

This book is a great size and format to take along with you and use to keep your mind busy while in line, or waiting for people, or while on a flight. Another possible use would be to make a game out of it and play for points, prizes, etc.. to be used on an upcoming vacation. A third idea is to use it as a quest, sort of like the VMK quests, see if you can discover the answers while roaming Walt Disney World (the hardest part here will be to not cheat and look up the answers).
