This guide is okay but its not very thorough. If you want to read about the basics of going on a trip to Disneyland this is your book. If you want a real detailed guide book with thorough coverage of disneyland, cal adventure, and everything around them plus tips and helpful apps like an app that allows you to see wait times for rides and you want real honest opinions from both the authors and other disneyland visitors you need to read The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2016 by Bob Sehlinger. I got both books and i found that everything i found in this one was already well covered in the unofficial guide and then i was given so much more.

If you are planning a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim CA, then this Birnbaum's Official Guide book will set you off on the right foot. I will break the book down for you so you can see what is covered in this paperback. I think that this is a must have book and it is sold for such a great price why not invest in the 2016 Disneyland Guide.Covered in this Guide Book:- Getting ready to go; this part of the book focuses mainly on the best times of the year to visit the park, gives helpful insight on how to plan ahead and make your planning less stressful. Customized travel trips will surely help your vacation start off on a positive note. There is a portion of this section that covers the basic park orientation also including sample one day itinerary's for your use. Hours of park operation to included Disneyland and California Adventure are listed within this portion of the book. Average weather temperatures, rainfall totals and anticipated crowd levels are a need to know before you travel as well. Making a sample budget is included to show you a basic outline for your trip or your families trip. Helpful insight on money saving strategies are provided and a price break down for ticket prices and advise on when and where to purchase your park tickets is provided. Traveling with young children is covered as well as the prices for stroller rental by the day, I believe there is a discount if you plan to stay more than one day you can purchase multi-day stroller rental, just like at Disney World in Orlando.Accommodations is the next section and covers Disneyland resort hotels in depth plus also provides information on the good neighborhood hotels in the Anaheim vicinity. The hotel section is broken down into category: Superior, Moderate, Suites and Economy Hotels.Disneyland Park information is the next useful section in this book. Outlining safety, first aid locations, security areas, smoking policies, alcohol and glass bottle regulations as well as several other usseful bits of information. You are allowed to pack a bag and bring your own snacks, beverages etc into the park as long as they are non-alcoholic and not contained in glass. Each portion of the Disneyland park is broken down for your overview; Main Street USA, Adventurland, New Orleans Square, Frontierland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Mickey's Toontown, Tomorrowland and the most well known attractions in each of the aforementioned areas is broken down.California Adventure Information:Park map is included for your orientation and they are also available at the park entrance.Hours, attractions, safety, lost and found information plus much more in this section.Disney Dining is up next:Table service, Fast Food and Snacks, Food and Snack Carts- approximate pricing information is listed in this section and also each location is annotated if they are open for B, L or D.Downtown Disney is the final part of this Book:Hours, events, activities, restaraunts, bars family activities and grown up activities alike are listed in this section.This book is fantastic. I have never been to Disneyland CA and I am really excited about my upcoming vacation and this Birnbaum's Official Guide is very thorough and provides pertinent and useful information. I recommend anyone buy this book in advance if you are planning a trip to see Mickey and all of his friends!As a top reviewer I was sent this book free and the expectations were that I provide a product review. I have read this cover to cover and I feel that this deserves 5 stars. The book is insightful, helpful and well written and easy to follow.

Very informative guide - as a parent taking the journey to Disneyland with a small child for the first time, there was a ton of useful information. Didn't use the coupons provided, but loved the fact that this book was a quick read. While not as comprehensive as the "unofficial guide" it was every bit as useful and we found it helpful prior to outlet trip for each adult to peruse one of the two books daily.

Excellent information presented clearly and with relevant photos. I first borrowed it from the library and then my son who has intellectual disabilities used it so much that I bought our own copy. We still have another month before we go on our trip and the book has been entertaining already!

If you've never been there and wanted straight up information with no pictures, this is what you should get. If you want something the kids can go through with you to get excited for your next trip, get something else.

This was actually a bit disappointing. There is a complete absence of the major renovations happening at the park, it's like the authors just copied and pasted the previous years edition and slapped this years date on it.

This is best guidebook for Disneyland for travelers and locals, too. It gives dollar and time saving tips and tricks on how to make the most of your visit. Be sure to take advantage of the coupons on the back, too.

I always buy the newest edition of this guide whenever I am planning a trip to the Disney Parks. It is a wealth of information, including weather, crowd times, and great recommendations.
