 This book RUINED my vacation!!! November 1, 2006
5 out of 15 found this review helpful
I saw this book in a store and LOVED it. It gives reviews on each ride for preschool, grade school, etc. Then it tells you about the "fright potential" YEA RIGHT. Many rides were rated no fright potential and scared the snot out of every young kid in the place. The Winnie the pooh ride for example was rated "Not firghtening in any respect" and "Cute as Pooh bear himself". So I take my 3 year old on to discover it is a ride though the hurricane from the orignal Winnie the pooh blustery day movie. You even ride though owls house that is shaking its self apart. Roo is being blown away, and kango is trying to catch him, etc. The stupid ride is even complete with the nightmare scene about heffulumps and woozles (not Lumpy, the old scarey original heffulumps and woozles all done HUGE in neon paint with black lights spinning on them). The original sound track of beware, beware, BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!!! is playing all around you so loud it is hard to hear your screaming child. Over and over I read the book and said "This ride is ok sweety" and over and over again my daughter and most of the other kids got the snot scared out of them. By the time I got to the it's a small world ride my daughter was begging to not go on anymore rides and she was in the fetal position though the first half of the ride, afraid to even look up for fear of what she would see. If you love your small kids DO NOT TRUST THIS BOOK!!!

I have purchased the Unofficial Guide to Wald Disney world once before when we were planning a trip- we didn't get to go, so I purchased the updated one just last month. Along with my order, I decided to add the Unofficial Guide "with kids" because we have 3 small children. I was very disapointed. This could have been a great accompaniment to the regular Unofficial Guide. For starters, in both my situations, the Unoffical Guide was A+ on info, I loved it. The "with kids" seemed to copy and paste bits from that book. But, the confusing part, is that they didn't copy and paste parts that I found to be most useful in the Unoffical Guide. I am confused about why you would need this book- and it lacks some of his personal insight. My guess is that he did not actually do Disney with children and it seems to show. The upside is that "with kids" does give web sites for outside the world hotels that is missing from the Unofficial Guide. I also did find a couple other tidbits like the section on packing and creating uniforms for your family. There is a lot of info on parenting style that is not found in the regular Unofficial guide- but I am still not sure why it is in this one either. I was so excited to see his insight and sad to say he didn't have any. Bottom line IMO is to skip this book, but don't skip the regular Unofficial guide. It is a 6 star book!!

I looked at quite a few different books before I decided on this one. I wanted a book that was small, dealt with children, and had a quick and easy references (didn't want it to take 5-10 minutes to look up everything). This book was a winner and I would highly recommend it to any parents taking the trip to WDW. It came in very useful when planning our days activities. Rated each ride/attraction on a 1-5 scale, which included different age group. The book is also small enough to carry with during your trips to each of WDW's parks.
Big thumbs down May 1, 2000

I found this book to be a major disappointment. Of the many turnoffs, one being the section titled, "Types of Parents and Types of Children" where Mr. Sehlinger goes into way out-of-touch psycho babble. "In the context of a Disney vacation, it is useful to locate your, your partner's, and your combined parenting type on the parenting continuum and your child's basic personality type on the personality continuum." Please! However, Kim Wright Wiley's book, "Walt Disney with Kids 2000" is much more informative and leaves the parenting to the parents.
The best guide there is to WDW March 5, 2000
This book reviews everything there is to review at Walt Disney World--every hotel, every park, every ride, every restaurant, and even most of the neighboring attractions outside of WDW. Unlike the Birnbaum guide, this book has no business connection with WDW, so the author can be as honest as he wants. I bought both books, read most of both books, and this is the only book you need.
