A Must-Have for Walt Disney World Travelers

Whether you go for one day or two weeks, you won't get into WDW for less than $200 per person, even with a AAA discount. You are investing a substantial amount of money, and your anticipated return on investment is fun and great memories. You will only achieve that result IF YOU ARE PROPERLY PREPARED.

A typical family might buy tickets from the Disney site, find their way to the park and wander in with no plan whatsoever. We met one such family on our way out of Magic Kingdom on the eve of a "Pirates and Princesses" party. We knew about the 7 PM shutdown of the park and planned our day around it. We knew that crowds are much thinner on a P&P day. Others were confused, dissapointed and angry. Those with the "park hopper" ticket option could commute to another park from 7 PM to 11 PM. The unprepared ended up at a fast food joint for the rest of the evening.

"The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" is a near-perfect manual for getting the most bang for your buck at the 4 amusement parks, the water parks, and other areas around "The World." I spent approximately 40 hours with this book from January through May, 2008, and was able to make the following decisions:

1) Which Ticket Options to Buy or Avoid (and why),

2) Specific Days for Each Park (via the "crowd planner" on the website - try it at www.touringplans.com for a one-month free lookahead),

3) Where to Stay (Off-campus at the Marriott Springhill Suites - 5 minutes away),

4) Which Attractions to Visit When in Each Park,

5) Which Rides Require Fastpass (the fast-track tickets to popular attractions that require you to come back after an hour or so, then ride almost immediately),

6) The Best Places to Eat (and Worst Places to Avoid) on Campus (for price and quality).

If you don't find the answers that you are looking for, write to the author and ask him your question. He responded to my email very quickly. he may put your question and answer in the next edition (although at 848 pages, additions are making the book less portable). For example, I am 6'7" tall, and found that "cast members" (park workers) would accomodate my need for extra knee room by giving me 2 seats on rides like Splash Mountain, where I would not otherwise fit. I will ask the author to include that tip.

I am recommending this book to everyone I know who is planning a trip to WDW. We had three days in three of the four parks; the knowledge of which attractions could and could not be skipped was well worth the price of this book.

Must have book

This book is filled with tips that are invaluable for time savings when visiting the Disney Parks. I used the info to plan my family's days and we were able to hit the major rides with little waiting by using the information from the book. We also learned the hard way to follow the information in the book, as we went on one ride that was recommended as not worth our time and my 7 year old daughter was scared the entire time. If we'd followed the book, this would not have happened. I would recommend buying the book well in advance of your trip, as it is thick. The websites listed inside are also wonderful. We used many of them prior to our trip.

Great! Outstanding!

This is the best product I have ever purchased on amazon and the most useful. Shipped very quickly. Very useful for my 2008 Disney Trip.

All the information you should need

This book has tons of information on everything in and around the world. I recommend getting this book, especially if you are considering staying and/or playing outside the resort. Though not big on pictures, this book does offer some funny cartoons and a good dose of the realities of a Disney vacation.
