 The most beautiful, most helpful Disney guide January 17, 2008
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book is gorgeous! I love that it includes photographs of all the rides and shows. I have an 8-year-old girl and having a photo of every attraction really helps me figure out which ones are appropriate for her. And speaking of the photos, they are STUNNING. Best of all from a practical standpoint is that this book tells you EXACTLY what you need to do to get special treatment for an autistic child, which my daughter is. I also really used the advice on how to meet the princesses. My daughter is a huge princess fan and this book had a lot of insight on how to make that happen. Our dinner with Cinderella was fantastic, and the only reason I knew about it was the ultra specific and right to the point advice in this book. This is by far the most beautiful and helpful guide I have ever seen about Disney World.
 Good For Theme Parks not Resturants and Resorts January 17, 2008
10 out of 17 found this review helpful
This guidebook goes into great detail about the theme parks and provides great insight on every detail. The book is lacking on resturant details by not providing or what food its serves full reviews on all resturants. Also the resorts section do not have floor plans. This guide book does not contain the "Pool Story" like the first book did. The resorts are briefly detail. The book also does not provide detail information on admission prices to go into the parks. If you want a good guide book for the dining or accomodations or pricing I suggest the Passporter Guidebooks but for the theme parks this is the best guide book.
Get More From Your Disney Visit January 2, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
It's vital to plan ahead before visiting Disney if you want to get the most from the parks. This book keeps you from standing in interminable lines, yet still see the top attractions. I liked the Daily Plans suggested in the book and easily swapped out some rides and shows to suit our guests' ages and interests.
We've visited the parks dozens of times but with this book I still found overlooked shows. Disney is huge and can be quite disorienting. Knowing ahead of time what you want to see makes the day less stressful. We used the Fast Pass to get on Expedition Everest and Soarin. We also used the Single Rider option several times. Even though our recent visit was during the jam-packed Christmas period, we minimized the time standing in lines and had great memories to take away with us.
For the shows and rides described in the guide, pay close attention to the summary at the end. It gives the average wait time, length of the ride, any accomodations for handicapped users, and advises on the Fear Factor. That is quite important, as some rides are too intense for young children (or sensible adults). I was terrified on Expedition Everest and wished I'd opted out after reading the Fear Factor on it.
I'll be getting lots of use from this book for ourselves and our visitors. I was glad to see added restaurant section that wasn't in the earlier guide. Food is pricey inside the parks, so the guide helps you make decisions on fast foods versus splurging on a fancy meal.
Even better than last year December 16, 2007

If you liked the first edition of this guide, you will love the second! We had the opportunity to spend last week at Walt Disney World and found this 2008 edition at the Orlando airport. It was a lifesaver! We learned how to see the High School Musical show from the front row (it's easy to do if you have this book), which my kids are still talking about! I was excited to see a number of changes that made the guide even better. The restaurants reviews go into lots of depth and all the detailed information about the resorts is extremely useful. We go down to Disney at least twice a year and this guide is a wonderful tool for picking out exactly where to go and what to do. 5 stars at least!
Beauty more than skin deep November 30, 2007
Of course this book looks great, it has crisp and clear color photos on nearly every page. But that's not what makes it so great. It's also really, really useful! We just had a great Disney vacation and the INFORMATION in this book made all the difference! My husband spotted the description (and the photo) of the new icicle treatment at the Magic Kingdom castle for the holidays and said "Let's go see it!" Our teenager used the wildlife guide to learn all about the animals at the Animal Kingdom, which made that day at least twice as much fun. The attraction information is tremendous. I spent every spare minute buried in the restaurant reviews so we found some great places to eat. I loved that the reviews are HONEST -- the good and the bad. We bought the Unofficial book too, but this is the one that got filled with post it notes! Very well organized, too.
