During his first trip, hubby was amazed at the all attention to detail in the resorts, rides, restaurants, etc. He kept wondering and commented about the process of the initial idea going to the actual thing. Does anyone know of any books that chronicle the process of initial concept to finished ride? He was astounded at the amount of things that had to be created/fabricated specifically for each ride... Down to the bolts/etc.

There are quite a few books, Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look At Making the Magic Real was one the first I know of, it's from 1998 but you can still get it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/14..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0GGDJGX66GRCMGSXRF6F

Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look at Making More Magic Real was a second book it's from 2010
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/14..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0GGDJGX66GRCMGSXRF6F

And there are books on specific rides like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean among others, just search for author Jason Surrell or Martin Sklar
 
 
 


I also greatly recommend "Project Future" and "the Disney mountains: imagineering at its peak"

Both older books that are a good find if you can locate them on eBay/etc.
