 THE BEST AND MOST NECESSARY DISNEY GUIDE August 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is amazing. There are many Disney guides out there and this one has all the info from all the others combined. Yes, it is a huge book and it does not have pictures. There are other books for pictures. This book is jam packed with all the info necessary from the beginning stages of planning your trip to every aspect imaginable at Disney World.
I used this book to plan a 10 day trip to Disney World staying at a Disney World resort. Their reviews of all the resorts, parks and restaurants are lengthy, informative and all right on. I was able to choose the restaurants I wanted to dine at by their indepth reviews and charts.
For Disney I always use two books. This one is the basis for all my research in planning the trip plus the Passporter Guide which also has excellent reviews and info plus is also a book that becomes a souvenier of all the things from your trip. A great combo.
Many praise the Birnbaum guide but for me that one is merely a large colorful brochure for Disney and does not provide helpful information. I can make my own colorful memories when in Disney.
I highly recommend this book but be prepared for the size of it and also the huge amount of info. All your travel questions will be answered here and then Disney will be that much better.
As a travel agent, my clients LOVE this book August 3, 2008
I've been a travel agent for 20+ years, and always send this book to my clients who are visiting Walt Disney World as a little gift to help them plan their trip. I must admit that it can be a bit "daunting" because it's a thick book, and there are really no pictures to speak of. . . but it's FILLED with GREAT information! All of my clients have just raved about the book. If I had any "complaint", it would be that it will sometimes give specific room numbers that are the best, so sometimes clients don't understand that the hotels do not actually assign your room number until you arrive at the hotel. Anything can be made as a "special request" before you arrive, but in reality, you'll receive whatever is available at the time you check-in. The earlier you check-in, the better your chances of getting the room you want, if it's available.
Also, I used to work at Walt Disney World. . . and honestly. . .I like the fact that this is the "unofficial" guide, meaning that Disney has no control over it. I also really like the fact that there's information about other things to do in Orlando as well. It's a very good overall guide to the area.
best bet for your planning August 1, 2008
This book was fantastic in guiding my planning. Very comprehensive and detailed; touring plans are great and they work. I tagged so many pages in my planning process...my husband laughed at how much time I was spending on this trip planning but midway through our first day at Disney, he couldn't thank me enough! Good insight on fear factor for young children, fast pass info accurate plus plenty of tips for things you wouldn't normally think of doing/having on hand for a 'regular' vacation. Highly recommended!
Disney Maagic July 29, 2008
This is a must have book to enjoy the Parks at DW. We smilled all the time at the parks following the one day tours. Wait times were very reasonalble and we felt that we saw the best parts of each and rode the best rides. Most importantly we arrived each day prepared for a day of adventure. The entire family, two parents and two teenage girls had a pleasant experience.

Very informative. Love the itineraries. This is the second time I have purchased this book. The only bad thing is that the book can get real negative on vacationing at Disney and sometimes you'll be second guessing yourself on why you are going there in the first place. But generally a good book to have before going to Disney.
