It was Walt’s idea that while dining was an experience, we should augment it in any way we could. After all, he was a showman.

While we’ve previously seen the front cover, which appropriately features Cinderella Castle, we now can see the back cover pays tributes to the icons of the other three theme parks in EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth, Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life.

  1. I’ll be swinging by Disney Springs tomorrow as I really want this cookbook. It looks like it has been postponed online to April 2022. Any idea how many copies they have available in the store?
