Since 2010, I've published an annual book chronicling the changes, additions, and significant alterations to Walt Disney World over the course of that year. It's a little bit like the high school yearbook, and it is meant to work like that in real life (pick one up five years later, and marvel at all the memories). As a result, it bears the name Walt Disney World 'Earbook
The 2013 version is now ready and available for sale online: http://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-Walt-Disney-World-Earbook/dp/149489887X
The retail price is $12.99 but Amazon often discounts from there (today, it's $11.69).
There was a lot added to Walt Disney World in 2013, including Princess
Fairytale Hall, A Pirate's Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas,
Villas at Grand Floridian, Limited Time Magic, Jingle Cruise, Long Lost
Friends, MagicBands, Wilderness Explorers, Norsk Kultur, Princesse
Plass, Rapunzel Bathrooms, Prince Eric’s Village Market, L'artisan des
Glaces, Lava Lounge, and several Starbucks shops.
We bade goodbye to
Apricot Lane, Bamboo, Beastly Bazaar, Cap’n Jack Restaurant, Club 626,
Countdown to Fun, Disney Channel Rocks, Fuego, Haagen Dazs, National
Treasures at the American Heritage Gallery, Sid Cahuenga’s,
SmarterPlanet, Sound Stage, SpectroMagic, Stave Church Gallery, and
Wetzel’s Pretzels.
Re-live the special events, additions, removals, and
alterations with this yearbook-style volume designed to show, using
hundreds of pictures, how rapidly the portrait of life at Walt Disney
World changes. An index at the back will make finding information even
years from now a breeze.
The book is 66 pages, with hundreds of full color photos inside. Here is but a small sampling:
