The Thinking Fan's Guide is a different kind of guidebook that leaves out the usual ephemera on trip planning, ticket prices, restaurants, and shopping to concentrate on what visitors to Magic Kingdom come to see--the rides and shows. Wallace provides a lighthearted but scholarly look at each attraction in the Magic Kingdom's Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street, U.S.A., including the parades and fireworks show. Far from being mere "amusements," these attractions provide a complex, multi-layered narrative that can be experienced and appreciated just like a great novel, play, or film. The book will fascinate Disney buffs with the surprising insights into old favorites while offering newcomers to the Disney magic a much richer experience during their first Disney days.

This updated third edition, new for 2020, adds coverage of The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History, the new Happily Ever After fireworks, and the Trump-era Hall of Presidents. Additionally, Wallace has written brand-new entries for Pirates of the Caribbean and Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, diving much deeper than the previous editions did. Other expanded and revised entries include: Jungle Cruise, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Cinderella Castle.

The book has been updated from front to back to reflect the very latest at Walt Disney World. The 2020 edition also sports gorgeous new cover art and an all-new layout. Those who read Wallace's first edition of The Thinking Fan's Guide to Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom will also find the new entries that were previously added for the book's 2nd Edition: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid, Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, and the expanded Peter Pan's Flight entry.

"The Thinking Fan's Guide is insanely readable. Through personal experiences and opinions, Wallace is able to keep the reader grounded in the real world, while still taking time to look back at the history of the attraction." -- Andrew Tipton, Disney Hipster Blog

"Regardless of how many times you have personally visited, ...this book will not only increase your knowledge of the rich history and all the great attractions that the Magic Kingdom Park offers, but will also entertain you and give you an overview of the park you love... from another fan's perspective." -- Sam Carta, Orlando Theme Park News

"Having been a former Magic Kingdom Cast member, I was doubtful when Wallace's introduction boasted that even I, a 'Disney Freak, ' would learn something new. Silly me because I certainly did. ... Wallace says that if he's done his job right, readers will never think of theme parks the same way again. That's true, but few could come to the same brilliant conclusions that Wallace has. ... I feel that this is required reading for anyone who has ever been enthralled by their adventures inside Magic Kingdom. (Alex Reif, Laughing Place.com)

"I have to say this might be my favorite Disney book to date ... I love Aaron Wallace's writing style. It's intelligent, with a hint of humorous mixed in for good measure." (Heidi Strawser, Book review blogger, Heidi-Strawser.com)

"Ever wonder why the Disney parks are so successful? A new book called The Thinking Fan's Guide to Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom goes a long way toward answering that question." (Rudy Maxa, #1 worldwide-syndicated travel radio host, Rudy Maxa's World)

Cute but not the sturdiest
Color: White
It hold everything well and looks really nice on my dresser. I like that the variations in the leaves allows for me to hang things of varying size up in a way that’s cute and accessible when I want to wear it. I like having all my jewelry visible at a glance. The base is a really light weight wood and so you can’t screw the top super tightly just because the wood wouldn’t hold up to that very well. That means that the tree may lean or spin a bit if you’re grabbing your earring and it’s base from one of the leaves. There’s no fear of breakage, but just not the ideal experience. So it’s not the sturdiest. It doesn’t really need to be to do what it does, but that’s the one thing I wish could be improved about this display.

I love this!!
I struggled to put it together - I had to use pliers and REALLY PRY to get the nut off in order to screw it to the base. But once I did, I am super happy with this. It's pretty and has a lot of room for all my earrings. I also put necklaces and bracelets in the base. The downside other than how hard it was to put together is how wobbly the tree part is, but I think if I tightened the screw, it would be fine.

Awesome jewelry tree
Color: Black
The design is attractive and the holes for earrings are placed perfectly. I also have several necklaces hanging on the branches. The tray underneath the tree is perfect for bracelets and watches.I feel this is a unique design. I did attach washers above and below the tray on the screw to secure the tree better- love it!!!

Buy it
Color: Black, Color: Black
This was super easy to assemble, I didn’t even need any tools. It had plenty of room for my 46 current pairs of earrings, plus room for 18 more. It feels sturdy and isn’t outrageously over sized so it fit perfectly on top of my old jewelry box. The tray at the bottom is great too because now I can keep my rings and ear cuffs on display rather than try and stuff them on top of each other in the jewelry box.
