Deck the Halls with Disney!

Those stockings hung by the chimney with care aren't stuffed with toys this year, but with a Yuletide collection of seasonal Disney lore. Put some extra Christmas (and Disney!) magic under your tree with Jim Korkis' jolly compendium of merry mouse tales.

The best-selling Vault of Walt series has brought serious, but fun, Disney history to tens of thousands of readers. Now in its seventh volume, the series features Disney historian and master storyteller Jim Korkis' meticulously researched, entertaining tales about Disney's films, theme parks, and Walt himself— and this time they're brimming with holiday cheer:

  • The making of Disney classic holiday films like Mickey's Christmas Carol and Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas

  • The truth behind Walt Disney's ambivalent attitude toward Christmas

  • The story of how Disney creates its holiday parades, decorations, and processionals in the theme parks

  • The rundown of Disney's many Christmas comic books and giveaways, including Walt's early involvement with Toys for Tots

  • The history of such "extinct" Disney theme park holiday celebrations as Lights of Winter and Port Orleans Christmas

And best of all: you don't have to wait until Christmas morning!

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY SPECIAL WAY TO CELEBRATE A DISNEY CHRISTMAS!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
I always look forward to Jim Korkis' next Vault of Walt book, but especially looked forward to this Volume 7 due to it being a CHRISTMAS EDITION. I've always enjoyed the various media that Disney has used to celebrate Christmas - from their cartoons, films, and TV shows to their comic books, newspaper comic strips, and their theme parks. Usually, my review directs you to the LOOK INSIDE! access where Amazon lists the contents of the book, but - this time - only the first page of Contents is listed. The book is over twice as long as indicated by the first page of contents. The second contents page shows 10 Disney Park Stories, including the first Disneyland Christmas of 1955 and the first Walt Disney World Christmas of 1971. The contents page also shows 8 Mouse-ce-llaneous Stories, including the Disney Christmas Comic Strip, the Firestone Christmas Giveaway Comic Books, and the Walt Disney's Christmas Parade Comic Books. Jim Korkis shares a wide variety of Christmas details that are interesting, informative, and entertaining. This book is a superb exploration of Disney and Christmas, crammed full of Jim Korkis' historical facts. THIS BOOK WOULD BE A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN DISNEY AND CHRISTMAS!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Stories of Disney Magic and Its Connection to Christmas
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
Disney magic is alway special, but at Christmas time, it seems to soar to even greater heights. A new book by Jim Korkis, Disney Historian and an internationally acknowledged authority on Walt Disney, delivers over 30 stories about Disney’s connection to Christmas over the years. Each meticulously gives the background details and sources that bring the story to life. 

The Vault of Walt: Christmas Edition is divided into four sections:

Walt Disney Stories
Animation and Television Stories
Disney Park Stories
Mouse-ce-llaneous Stories
Here is one paragraph of one story that perfectly captures the delightful depth and breadth of the book:

“It was that Christmas gift of a pair of boots that gave the world the Walt Disney we know today. It was that gift that helped a thirteen-year-old focus on what his future would be as a cartoonist and to work to make that dream come true. The right Christmas gift can transform a young person’s future as it did Walt Disney’s life.”

This absolutely fascinating teaser is just one example from an excellent book. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the Disney fan in your life, look no further than The Vault of Walt Christmas Edition by Jim Korkis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Seasonal Source for the Mouse.
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021

Fantastic resource on Walt's feelings of the holiday and following Christmas specials and parks. Beautiful red cover and stylish. That alone, makes me want to purchase Korkis' other books in the series. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Disney's recent series "Prep and Landing," how other countries have made it an annual ritual to telecast Walt's earlier Christmas specials, and background on earlier years when the Studio made attempts to honor the spiritual aspects of the holiday. Sadly, those days may be gone. Korkis' research goes into how Walt sent his younger sister checks for her Christmas present, and even goes into detail on what presents he purchased for his personnel. While not being able to answer every question on Disney's opinions on the season, Korkis has done a tremendous job with his Vault of Walt books. These books were not available until recently, and would have been invaluable with my research years ago.

Jim Korkis writes wonderful books about Walt Disney, Disneyland and Disney World. This one is one of my favorites. It covers all of the history of Disney and Christmas. Hearing the stories of Walt Disney and his mixed feelings of Christmas, the celebrations with his family are just fantastic. The book is written in an easy to read style. You can sit when you have a moment and read a little story from any place in the book. And whether you are a parks fan, a film fan or just a general Disney fan, there is something for everyone. Buy this book for the Disney fan in your life or for yourself, you can't go wrong.
