Disneyland the Nickel Tour

Disneyland the Nickel Tour, a book review

Disneyland the Nickel Tour: A Postcard Journey Through a Half Century of the Happiest Place on Earth Bruce Gordon, David Mumford, Roger Le Roque and Nick Farago.

The Nickel Tour is ostensibly a pictorial tour of Disneyland’s history through a presentation of every postcard the Park has ever offered. Written by Walt Disney Imagineers Bruce Gordon and David Mumford, the books gives fans a glimpse behind the scenes of both Disneyland and its development wing- Imagineering. Want to know when an attraction opened? It’s in there. Want to know the history of that attraction? It’s in there. How about “what might have been”? Yup, it’s in there too. If you are a fan of Disneyland, or just Disney, you will love this book. The writing is fantastic, the images wonderful, and the inside info is priceless.
