Let The Memories Begin Impressions of the Walt Disney World Resort Souvenir Book Wendy Lefkon 9781423144557 Books Reviews

It has been a few years since Disney has published a new Walt Disney World souvenir guide book. But is this one worth separating your wallet of your hard earned cash?

Let the Memories Begin is a 176 page look at Walt Disney World from D23. Over the past few years D23 has put out some nice titles with some interesting ones coming down the pike. This new book surprised me, but not in a good way.

Anyone who has watched Communicore Weekly or read any of my Mice Chat columns, knows that I have a thing for Disney books, in particular Disney souvenir books. They’re a great way to relive a past vacation, do some research or just lose yourself in some great images. Somewhere in the late 1990’s, the guides became very polished and focused more on creating an image of what a Walt Disney World vacation should be. Prior to the release of the 20th Anniversary Souvenir Guide book in 1991, most of the large, hard-bound souvenir books were treats and a must have for fans and researchers. Sometime in the mid-1990s, there was a drastic change in the representation of Walt Disney World and presentation of the books; they became more slick and glossy.

Here’s the rub the book is plain, generic and missing any spirit. It follows a standard format, with a majority of the book focusing on the theme parks. There aren’t any really good shots or anything that stands out except a shot of the building that houses Donald’s Breakfast Safari in the Animal Kingdom. It is a stunning photograph and from a not-often-seen angle. They published a photo of World Showcase in Epcot and there is no covered stage on the American Gardens Theater, so it is an obviously older pic. That is one of my gripes. With the abundance of amazing photographers posting their photos on the Internet, why would Disney print stock PR photos in the book. One of the stock photos was of Soarin. It is obviously a faked photo for PR, but it is more of a joke than anything else.

The one difference that the book offers is various quotes from Disney employees and fans that are sprinkled throughout the book. They are really supposed to make you reminisce about your first trip, favorite ride, etc., but they come off as fake and obtuse. There were three standouts from Dave Smith, Alex Wright and Jason Surrell. The others were all from Disney Publishing employees or fans that seemed to share the same last names as the two authors. This would have been a wonderful opportunity for Disney to offer a contest or share guest anecdotes.

When you get to the end of the book, the resorts and rest of the world are crammed into a mere 40 pages. The resort, as a whole is not done justice. I really wanted to find something positive about the book and the only thing that really got me excited was the endpapers. These are the papers that are featured on the inside front and back covers. They show a lot of historical ephemera from the parks and are drool-inducing. Sadly, the rest of the book is rather ho-hum. So buy it if you are a completist or if you see it in the parks and still want to buy it after flipping through it.

This is the first souvenir guide that has been published in quite a few years. Sadly, it is very similar to the guides for the early 2000s. You would assume that Disney would step up their game on two fronts better photographs and a broader look at the resort and some of the changes. I know this isn’t a history book, but it still glosses over too much of the parks—even the current offerings!

I do recommend that you grab a copy of the 10-, 15- and 20-year souvenir guides. They are fantastic.
