Editorial Reviews:

Completely updated for 2008, Frommer's Walt Disney World & Orlando is the perfect trip-planner for America's #1 vacation destination—Disney World. A total of 50 million people visited Orlando in 2006, spending over $28 billion, according to the Orlando Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. Seven of the world’s top ten theme parks are in Orlando, and it’s the number one destination for families on the planet.

This book will cover all of the highlights of the city, including the opening of Disney's latest attraction, Finding Nemo–The Musical. It also features detailed itineraries for all of the Disney and Universal Orlando theme parks.

The guide also includes info on SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, Busch Gardens, and the Kennedy Space Center. You'll also find individual park maps, up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, and a free color fold-out map.

Summary: So Far so good.
Comment: I am only a little way into this book, but the information is great. Lots to think about and lots to plan. But it is all made easier by someone who has lived it. Thanks, I look forward to more exploring and to our trip to Orlando.

Summary: A fair guide book to Walt Disney World
Comment: With all the guide books available for Walt Disney World, how does this one compare?

It is not as good as The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World, PassPorter's Walt Disney World and the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. But those are the top three guide books to WDW, in my opionion.

This book does have a fair amount of coverage of WDW, but also spends time on other Orlando attractions and hotels.

There's just nothing special about it that would cause me to recommend it when there are much better books out there.

Summary: This book is great!!! Really helpful!!
Comment: I purchased this book for our first trip to Disney with our 3 year old daughter. We had a blast and this book really helped us plan our trip. It has a lot of the basics about the Orlando amusement parks--it even manages to summarize each ride at every park, rates them F through A+, tells you height requirements and gives a recommended age for each ride. This info was great because it saved us a lot of wasted time and helped us to rule out or avoid rides that our daughter wouldn't enjoy. The book also gave little tips about which days certain parks are busiest, how to use Fastpass, how to purchase Disney tickets in advance, etc. Every little tip imaginable is in this book!!! I have a friend visiting Disney and I recommended this book to her--I didn't actually lend my book to her because I don't want to let go of it!!

Summary: Buy something else
Comment: I own several WaltDisneyWorld guide books and this one is confusing and unorganized. It tries to be a guide book for WDW and Orlando. So, if you are planning a trip to WDW and you are looking up listings for Best Restaurants, or Best Place to Eat with kids, you may be reading about a suggested restaurant only to find out that is actually at Universal Studios in Orlando...thinking you are reading about WDW. It mixes everything together and is hard to follow. Save your money and borrow it from the library.

Summary: If you like small print
Comment: This is not a very detailed book. I mean there are thousands of things in it, but if you are looking to get the inside scoop say, on a hotel at disney, you will get one paragraph. I've seen some books that describe the lobbies, give you tips on room placement, etc...so I prefer more detail. Plus, the print is very small, so you better have good eyes! THere is a map in it though - that is nice, and it covers areas outside of Disney if you are interested in that.
