Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food - OPTIONAL

Smothers, Marcy Carriker Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food, 169 pages.  Disney Editions, 2017.  $35.

While Smothers brings a wealth of interesting little facts about the historic food in Walt Disney, she focuses on the restaurants and snack places that opened when Walt was alive and what Walt would eat.  Some of the non-Disneyland is interesting, like reading about the different eating-places in the Animation studios and such, but the menus that are included are small enough that most people will need a magnifying glass to read them.  The information is just enough for a tease, but not enough to really inform.  There are recipes included in the back, which would have been better served to be included along side the chapters instead.  I didn’t come out of this feeling the magic of food at Disneyland.  Another book for the absolute diehard Disney fanatic, but not really for a fan or a casual reader.
