 Beautiful pictures; not very helpful for decisions & planning May 30, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
To me, this book feels like a glorified Disney brochure. It has many, many beautiful pictures -- but that's pretty much the only positive thing I have to say about it. We wanted a useful travel guide, and we are extremely disappointed. We were hoping for something (like our old Unofficial Guide; I guess we'll buy a new one!) that would help us with making decisions on hotels, how to plan our days, how to deal with situations that come up with a toddler, etc. Skimming through this book, the tone feels almost like it was written by Disney to promote the parks (maybe the authors just love Disneyworld that much?). Sorry, but if you're looking for more candid help on planning, I wouldn't recommend this one.
 The photos will blow you away! May 19, 2008

I was surprised when I received this Disney guide. The photography, which is on nearly every page, is beautiful and unusual. There are pictures here I haven't seen anywhere else. There are even two collage-type images of Main Street USA, showing all the stores on one side in one long composite panorama, and all the stores on the other side in another. The writing is full of great information. I especially enjoy the lists of "Fun Finds," which are things to look for while you are riding a ride or seeing a show. I'm making my own list for my next trip to Disney World, this summer. You can bet I'll be bringing this book along!
Simply the best guide to Walt Disney World May 13, 2008

Julie and Mike Neal are a husband-wife team who appear to live at Walt Disney World. From what I understand, Julie does the writing and Mike does the photography. Both excel at their respective crafts.
Literally every feature at Disney World is described in honest detail. There are lots of hints on how to optimize your time.
It is not, in my opinion, an exaggeration to describe this guide as the equivalent of a paid companion, intent on making your experience at Walt Disney World unique and thoroughly enjoyable. Visitors of every age can plan the itinerary best suited to their interests with the help of this marvelous guide.
Don't think of visiting Walt Disney World without consulting this book, preferably several months in advance so you can really take advantage of its detailed descriptions and comments.

Best of the bunch May 12, 2008
If you are going to Walt Disney World you should invest in this book. It will really pay off. Disney offers so much to do, and can be so crowded, that you have to know what you're doing before you get there to have a good time. This book makes that possible. Nice to look at, well organized and well written, it will save you hours of wasted time at every theme park and provide many other interesting ways to spend your time. The restaurant and resort chapters are first-rate, too. I bought five Disney World guides before our trip, and this one was the most useful. Beforehand I thought only our kids would enjoy Disney, but thanks to this book I, and my wife, had a great time too.
My new favorite Disney guidebook May 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a whole shelf in my bookcase just for books about Disney World, and The Complete Guide is now my new favorite.
What you notice first is the color. The cover is a brilliant red, with a great pic of the trolley show performers on Main Street USA. Inside are bright glossy pictures on just about every page. These are not the typical staged shots you normally see from Disney World. There is a backstage photo of a Lion King dancer putting on makeup, a shot of the author from the inside of a Richard Petty race car, Tweedledum taking a cell-phone call from a guest and a close-up of the Cinderella mosaic at the castle. There is even a historical photo of Warren Beatty signing his cement block in front of the Great Movie Ride. I could go on and on just about the photos in this book.
My reason for really loving this guide, though, are not about the pix. I love the explanations on each attraction's back story. I have gone on these rides not knowing the story, but am looking forward to riding again now that I can put the ride in perspective. For example, I never knew the full story behind DinoLand, the Harambe Village or Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom. Now I do!
If you are interested in a beautiful Disney World guidebook that is unprecedented in its depth and details, check this one out. You won't be disappointed!
