book about Disney World recommendation

[shelbyf31]

Could someone recommend a great book about Disney World? What I am looking for is details about imagineering. Like why was the Hudson Valley chosen for the Haunted Mansion? Why some buildings look the way they do? Why the rides contain the scenery they have? etc.

Thank You

Well, there are the Imagineering Field Guide books:

I don't own it, but that Designing Disney book looks like it would be a good one, too.
