 Disney Guide January 18, 2008

Great Book. I have read it from cover to cover and now feel that I am ready to tackle Disney with my family, without fear. I cross reference it with the diney book by Birnbaum's ( which has more pictures) and I have outlined the good and bad for my family...

This is a book I have purchased over-and-over-and-over. It's THE book I give as a gift to friends traveling to Walt Disney World. It's a shame that reviews need to be written with each printing and if you look at prior year reviews, this book continues to be positively rated. The high ratings are well deserved.
Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa have consistently written THE travel book for those obsessed with WDW to those making their first foray into Walt Disney World-Orlando. The authors also run a most helpful website (available free to purchasers of the book) and have always been responsive to book purchasers who have questions and comments (via email.)
There is no reason to rehash all the positive and well written reviews. My only comment would be that if you have purchased prior year editions, the new 2008 version has lots of new information, worth throwing another $14 at!

An outstanding product. Everyone going to Disney World should read this book. A Disney experience is expensive. And, if ill-planned, can result in an exhausting nightmare. But, if you read this book ahead of time (and implement its recommendations) you'll have a WONDERFUL time!
But is this book for ME? December 20, 2007

(edit of initial comments, as some of you may have no idea what I was talking about--One of the major features of this book is the inclusion of a variety of tours, with differing tours depending on your family makeup or the number of days. The following comments concern this tour information.)
There are enough reviews here to know that this book offers much. The question you must ask yourself is whether or not you can be ruled by a book on your vacation. When it comes to Disney World, I most certainly can. The first time I bought the Unofficial Guide, I followed it completely and breezed (ok, as much as one CAN breeze) through the park, while a co-worker, there one week prior to my family left in the frustration in the middle of the day. I purchased the latest edition for a trip there this past October and it worked like a charm most of the time. Then I cheated, got in a couple of short lines early in the afternoon and put things out of whack; still enjoyed that whole day, but you see what I'm getting at. If you can stand to skip a ride with a short line you can see in favor of one across the park just because the guide says so, then that guide is your best friend. If you can't, you will still probably enjoy the book for all it's other information, but don't think you can only pay attention to the tour route when you find it convenient; my personal experience says you cannot.
 Too much "user generated" information December 17, 2007

I'm real split on this guide book - on the one hand they provide a lot of useful information (best times to go, maps, touring suggestions) but so much of the book includes opinions from readers. I can see how that might appeal to some people, but for me I am not interested in what other visitors experienced. What works for me and my family probably won't translate to another and vice versa.
I expect everybody has their own opinion on what they prefer to see on vacation and with that said there is far too much opining in this book and not enough objectivity. I would much rather have a concise guide explaining the many attractions in Disney World and less anecdotal quotes about how long a line was.
Just so you know what you are getting, the editors of this book even include letters from readers complaining about the (gasp)CHILDREN at Disney World. Oh the horror! And as often as the editors say they enjoy Disney World, they spend more time mocking and complaing about the parks than they do in praise of them. I could see someone actually being turned off to take their vacation here after reading this book.
To be fair though, this book does offer incredible insight on how to navigate ones way around a place as massive as Disney World. Schedules, maps, suggested itineraries are exactly what I was lookign for in a guide book, and the Unoffical Team delivered in that regard.
Too much editorializing, more facts please. Thank you!
