 Many other books I own are far more informative April 12, 2006
This book is a well sized tome - over 450 pages - but that covers both Walt Disney World as well as many other parks. If you're only seeing Walt Disney World, you only get the first 271 pages.
First, there are the obligatory pages about when to go, the temperature and rainfall amounts. Advice on travel websites to get plane tickets from, etc. None of this is much different than any other book I own, or in fact the web. I understand they need to include it, but in reality it's pretty worthless. Hopefully everyone on the planet knows how to determine average temperature and airline tickets of a place they want to visit.
The hotel section is pretty feeble. Hotels are underdescribed or barely detailed. If I was choosing to stay at a hotel, I definitely wouldn't go based on this book. There are a number of better websites and books for that purpose, with photos and full details. Then there's a VERY short section on going with kids, and we launch right into the park descriptions.
The park descriptions are reasonably good, but not full of detail. Again, there are enough websites and other books that really provide great details, photos and tips that in comparison this book comes up short.
The restaurant descriptions give the basics, but not any special tips. It's the same problem. I wouldn't choose a restaurant based on what I saw here. Then that's it. We go right into Universal Orlando.
The book touts the coupons it holds - but pretty much *none* of them are for Disney. You get:
10% off $100 or more from Samonite; $10 off Arabian Nightes dinner show; 25% off Nauticus & other Norfolk VA items; $1 off Brevard Zoo in Melbourne; $5 off 6 bottes from Florida Estates Winery; 2 for 1 to Polynesian Islanders Review; $4 off per person for Murder Mystery at Grosvenor; Free coupon book at prime outlets of Ellentown; $5 off at Sleuths dinner show; $10 off Ocala carriage tour; 2 for 1 at Flying Tigers exhibit; 10% off at Loyalty Homes.
 Very Good Guide to WDW July 9, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this book because I already had the Unofficial Guide to WDW 2004 (my WDW bible!!). But I must say this is a good guidebook in it's own right. While The Unofficial Guide is a little bit more review-oriented, Econoguide was a bit more fact and interesting tidbit oriented. I learned some fascinating facts about my fave rides and landmarks. This book would be good even if you're not planning on a WDW trip because of all the Disney facts in here as well as Universal Orlando too. And both guides do give you tips on saving money. Econoguide also has coupons in back--especially useful if you're not planning on all Disney, all the time. If you buy both books, you've got WDW and Universal covered! So I'd say if you're looking for opinions, defintely use "The Unofficial Guide" for some factoids, give "Econoguide" a try!
NOT the only guide you will need to WDW June 5, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought 4 books, went to several different websites, and signed onto online email lists, all in preparation for my trip to Walt Disney World in June 2004. I found that the Econoguide was helpful, but not to the extent that The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World was, mostly because about half the book is taken up by reviews of other parks, such as Seaworld and Universal Studios. If you're going to all Orlando park attractions and only wanted one book, however, this would be a great reference for you. But for those of us who will only be doing WDW, there are better books out there.
 Best book on Disney World ever May 2, 2004

I really loved this book. It is written by an adult for adults. You csn appreciate that the author is a journalist. I depend on his observations every time I take my family to Florida.I have read all the others and none come close to the quality and accuracy you get with this guide. Check it out.
 Buy a GOOD WDW travel book; NOT this one. May 1, 2004

I own every guide to WDW on the market, and this one is by far, the worst. I was very disappointed with it. I knew more about WDW BEFORE I read this. On one of his descriptions, he even has the INCORRECT height requirements for the ride, which to someone who is making a once in a lifetime trip, could make a huge difference! Pitiful resource. Buy the Passporter.
