About the Author
The Complete Walt Disney World is written by parents Julie and Mike Neal, who have visited Disney World nearly 2,000 times. With an apartment in the adjacent Disney-developed town of Celebration, the Neals stop by at least once a week. Both a roller coaster fan and a wildlife enthusiast, Julie lists Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safaris as her favorite Disney attractions. Mike' top ride is Space Mountain, just as it has been since he first rode it in 1975. The Neals live on Sanibel Island, Fla., with their daughter Micaela -- who contributes to this book when she's not scuba diving -- and the world's sweetest chocolate lab, Bear.
