Below is my extensive Bibliography for Walt Disney and the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair: TravelMagic, which aligns to each chapter of the book.

Chapters One and Two feature numerous books and articles that I used to conduct my research about the history of World’s Fairs, Walt Disney Productions, and WED Enterprises. These sources were also used in Chapter Three through Eighteen in addition to a number of documentary sources retrieved from the Benson Ford Archives at Greenfield Village. Feel free to click on the title of each document in Chapter Three through Eighteen to access a PDF of the original document!
