About this edition
Back in 2012 when I published the first edition of Discover the Magic, (and my first book
ever) I had no idea how much enjoyment and success I'd have as an author. I remember dis-
cussing the idea to write a book with my wife. She was hesitant and said, “Who is going to
read it?” My thought process was similar to a line from the Field of Dreams movie: “If you
write it, they will read.” Iwasoptimistic that somebody wouldbeinterested inwhat Ihadto
say and hopeful that my passion for, and knowledge of Walt Disney World would be useful
to readers considering a Disney vacation.
Now, going on three years, three additional titles, tens of thousands of copies later, here I
am.Backwhereitallstartedwiththe2
nd
editionof“Discover theMagic”.I'mthrilled with
the fact that thousands of readers like you, with a desire to learn more about the magical ex-
perience of a vacation to Walt Disney World, will take the time and spend their hard-earned
dollars to buy or borrow this topic. I'll do my best to give you your money's worth!
In this expanded and updated version of Discover the Magic, all new for 2015, you'll get
even more magic than ever before. In fact, updates that started off as a minor refresh have
evolved into a major rewrite. I had originally intended this 2
nd
edition to be an update of
everything that has changed at Disney since the first edition was released in May of 2012.
That in itself would have been an extensive facelift. However, as I began writing, I realized
there was so much more to say and so much more to cover than I did with the original. The
original version was about 15,000 words and this edition is about double that- right around
30,000 words. While this has delayed publication by several weeks, you the reader will reap
the benefits!

always changing and expanding, and this topic will fill you in on what's new- and what's
coming! You'll find details on the newest attractions like those in the New Fantasyland at
Magic Kingdom, and I'll update you on the expansions planned at Hollywood Studios and
Animal Kingdom too.
