Summary: Amusement Park and Good Food? It's true!
Comment: If you are going to the MK and are vegetarian... get this book!! It was so helpful and we didn't have to guess where to eat.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: horribly outdated! and a huge disappointment.
Comment: I went to disneyworld in october. i'm vegan and was excited that there was a book telling me what i could eat and where, i thought it would make my vacation easier. most of the information in this book is no longer true. i even brought it with me and showed chefs at restaurants where it stated items where vegan, and the chefs said they never wear. the biggest disappointed were the almond bearclaws and the beavertails mentioned int he book. NEITHER of which are vegan. the bearclaws have an egg wash on them and the beavertails have dairy in them. Do your own research and don't buy this book. I wasted time reading it prior to my vacation and wasted even more time on my vacation doing my own research about where i could eat. also, all the places which serve boca burgers as mentioned in the book, cook them on the same grill as the meat, and they are COVERED in meaty grease when served. It makes me wonder if the authors have ever even been to disneyworld. if no stars was an option, thats what i'd give this book.

Summary: Much more than veggie burgers and salads!
Comment: This book was very helpful in planning our trip! Although my husband and I had been to Disney many times, we found out about new places and how to get delicious vegetarian meals at Disney restaurants that were not on the regular menu! It's small size made it easy to add to our backpack for quick reference when in a park! The San Angel Inn (Epcot), the Brown Derby (MGM), and Jiko (Animal Kingdom Lodge) are not to be missed! Much more than veggie burgers and salads!

Summary: Review of New Second Edition
Comment:
First, the disclaimer: As the author of the guide, I'm biased when I give it five stars! ;-)
Really I'm writing to inform potential buyers that the reviews below were all written before the second edition of the guide was published and refer to the first edition (which, by the time of writing, was indeed out of date). The new edition shown on this page was entirely revised and updated in late 2003. As such, it provides a wealth of information about current restaurants in Walt Disney World and greater Orlando, as well as a number of reader-submitted reviews and feedback.
It is also the ONLY independent dining guide to Walt Disney World -- health-conscious or not -- and provides excellent background information on the service, theming, and price points of all eating establishments on property, including the theme parks, water parks, resorts, Downtown Disney, and the cruise line.
Happy travels and thanks for "going veg!"
Susan

Summary: Read in advance, and be sure to check the web site updates
Comment: POSITIVES:
- Excellent for educating vegetarians (and everyone) about the difference between Disney and ordinary restaurants...that the chefs work with you to create what you want, there's no need to stick to the menu. - Good for convincing vegetarians (and gourmands) that it's worth going to nice restaurants at Disney. NEGATIVES:
- Too much emphasis on "calling in advance" to work out your dream meal, not enough on just picking the restaurants that have the best (or most) vegetarian/vegan items already on the menu. - Quite outdated by now, it's absolutely necessary to use their web site as an adjunct to bring the info up to date. BOTTOM LINE:
- Use primarily as a narrative read before you go...only secondarily as a reference for choosing where to eat each day.
