 Way too much information. April 1, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
After using Birnbaums Official Guide for years I thought I would follow Consumers Report listing the Unofficial Guide as the better book. I found this book to contain way too much info, and difficult to find the specific info I wanted. I primarily wanted info about the 2008 Disney dining plan. ( I did order the 2008 version) This book had lots of info, but it was based on the 2007 plan. Disney changed the plan for 2008. Also, the unofficial guide didn't know that rooms in the Carribean Beach resort are larger than rooms in the other moderate resorts. Also, some of their suggestions don't make sense. Such as never take a room that overlooks the parking lot. The view of the parking lot is fine, and generally less expensive. After all day in the parks, all most people are going to look at is the inside of their eyelids. (They are going to be asleep)I am going back to the Birnbaum Official Guide. It has just as much info but in a much easier to use format.
 Read and heed! March 26, 2008

This was our first trip to Disney and we used this book as our guide. We attended during Easter weekend/spring break, a very busy season. We (wife and 5 children) visited the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM, and Blizzard Beach. This book made our trip truly unbelieveable. If you go there without a plan you'll wait in very long lines. This book has very important tips and plans that will ensure that you don't wait in lines, see all the great attractions, and get plenty of rest. If you have the chance to get this book before your trip GET IT. We carried it with us in the parks as well. It NEVER let us down. Going to Disney with out a plan is a huge mistake, and this book will make sure that your very expensive trip is profitable in every way. We had a truly magical time and it was in very large part due to the incredible help that this book provided. I can't recommend it highly enough. Get this book, read and heed! You'll be glad that you did!
Must have for Disney trip planners March 23, 2008

Very thorough and very detailed. Takes on a different tone than PassPorter or Birnbaum's. Gives the good, bad and ugly of Disney....everything you need to know and more. I have all 3 of these Disney planners and this is by far the most thorough. Although it can be negative in some places, it is just giving you a realistic view. Touring plans are GREAT!
Don't leave home without doing your research March 12, 2008

Do your research and your trip to WDW will be smooth sailing. We bought two guides before our trip and this one was far and away the most useful, from reviews of each and every attraction and restraunt, to things you might otherwise overlook, like the talking trashcan in Tomorrowland. The tour plans are great, even though we didn't really follow them to the letter, we knew where the attractions were so we weren't just wandering around aimlessly.
Best Disney Guide around! March 9, 2008

I viewed via the bookstore just about every Disney guide available and this one was by far the best! It has great insider info, helped us plan before going to Disney (didn't waste time going to the rides the kids weren't tall enough to ride and used other parent's advice for guidance).
We did not stay at a Disney resort so that part of the book was not useful to us but everything else it contains (and I mean everything you could want to know) made our trip wonderful. Definitely worth the price and then some!
