I am so very happy I purchased this book. We will be traveling to WDW in September 2016 and although I have been to Disney before, many, many things have changed so I needed something that would provided updated, clear information on FastPass+, Advanced Dining Reservations, Hotel Selection and general overall guidance regarding the Disney Parks. I saw this book in store before purchasing on and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The colors inside of the book are great and I love that they have included pictures with many of their reviews. I also love the coupons that they included in the back of the book. They are going to be a great help when we are there. The tips and tricks that are included are awesome and I plan on using a lot of them when we travel to WDW. If you're taking a Disney Cruise, there is a small section in the back of the book for that as well. I'm not sure how good it is as I haven't looked at it, but just for an FYI. In the way back of the book as well, they have laid out a few pages for you to create an itinerary for your trip. It's perfect and gives you spaces for flight and hotel information, FastPass+ reservations and Advanced Dining Reservations. Although I had already booked our hotel and park tickets before purchasing the book, I really liked being able to read the reviews of each of the hotels and the differences in each of the Park Tickets. If you're looking for an excellent, overall travel book for Disney, this is the one to get!
My wife is a Disney Freak and buys this book as soon as it comes out every year. She uses it to plan our trips and they make the whole trip better. It lists everything you need to know about disney.
I had an older one from waaaay back. Found that one useful then, this is useful now. Beware, however, about attractions and rides that are being refurbished, redesigned or closed for some other reason. After you make your selections from the book, get on the WDW website and see if your faves are open for when you'll be there.
Part of the excitement of a vacation is the actual planning of it. This book helps me to bring the kids into the 'planning' part of it. It is written at a level where my grade school kids can read it and understand. I gave the book and post-its to my kids. They spent hours reading and posting the pages of rides they want to ride. If Universal sold a book for kids, I would buy that too!
I purchased this book for our upcoming trip to Disney in a few months. It has a wealth of information about each hotel and park, along with some general information that the authors find helpful for anyone travelling to Disney.If you are unsure about where to stay, pick up this book before making your reservations. It gives so much information about accommodations that you will be thankful for the assistance. The maps of the hotels in relation to the parks is also a useful tool because no one wants to spend most of their Disney time on a bus!
If you are going to Disney World, get this book and read it. I did that the first time I went to Disney World (in 1993) and it was immensely helplful in navigating the parks effectively. Through the years I have purchased the current book periodically. This book is revised every year as Disney changes attractions and it is very helpful to have the current book when planning an upcoming trip. We just got annual passes for Disney World this year so I decided it was time to update. I'm glad we got the current book as a lot has changed in the last few years.
Having looked at a number of Walt Disney World guides, this one is still my favorite. It is detailed, thorough, and well written. It gives me all of the information I need to make my own plans and decisions. Even though I have been to WDW many times I still check this book every time I plan a new trip. I like the Unofficial Guide as well, but find it gives me too many conflicting reader comments and reviews. I like a guide that has a point of view, while still recognizing that many different types of groups and people with different needs are planning vacations.
Although I've been to WDW several times, I still like to reference the Birnbaum's book from time to time. I've owned this book before, but I needed to get the newest version. As usual, it's got all of the most recent information there is to offer at WDW and the WDW Parks. For ANYONE planning a trip, I suggest this book to anyone who is planning a WDW trip.
