More information, including on the Canada pavilion!,
By
This review is from: The Complete Walt Disney World 2012 (Paperback)
This Disney World guidebook has MORE INFORMATION than the other Disney guidebooks. Not more promotional writing or guest opinions, but more information that helps you decide what to do and how to go about doing it. For example, a lot on the wait times of various rides, which is helpful for theme park visits if you are going on a crowded day.There is good advice, too, such as how to take advantage of the Disney Dining Plan. For example, don't automatically go for the three-restaurant-meal-a-day plan, since you won't have time to eat all your meals in full-service restaurants. The advice is straight to the point, however, so each tip takes up just a sentence or two. I also like the fact there are hotel reviews with discount rates, not just Disney's standard rates. This helps you budget and plan. Maps are well drawn, there are shopping suggestions, and I also love to see the extra detail about where to meet characters and the water parks. And yes, great coverage of the Canada pavilion in Epcot. Lots of details on the Martin Short movie that plays there, the architecture of the buildings, the restaurant. Makes a visit there more worthwhile. In short, there is a LOT packed into this guide. For a Disney trip, this book is a must.

Disabled? This is the Disney guide you want,

This review is from: The Complete Walt Disney World 2012 (Paperback)
I have an inner ear problem that prevents me from riding roller coasters and spinning rides like a merry-go-round. My wife is in a wheelchair. We bought this book before going to Disney with our kids and grandkids this Christmas. So helpful! The descriptions of the rides and shows all include what the authors politely call "Access" specifications that make it quick and easy to determine what all three generations of us could do together. There is also a whole general section for disabled guests that is comprised of very detailed information on "Hearing Services," "Mobility Services" and "Visual Disability Services." It's nice to be respected. Bravo.

I'm using it now,

This review is from: The Complete Walt Disney World 2012 (Paperback)
Thank goodness someone finally wrote a Disney World guide book that is worth the money. I haven't finished using this book yet but already know how useful it is. I got it while down here at Disney when we first arrived last week and, since we're still here, I'm still using it. Basically, it has become my Disney World "bible." I carry it with me wherever I go. This book does for me what I can't do; provide all the inside advice for each Disney theme park that only a seasoned expert would know, give me all the practical info (like how long you have to wait for each ride, or where to meet Cinderella without forking over big bucks at a restaurant) that Disney doesn't tell you, and provide all the facts and figures you need to manage your vacation. In short, it is helping make this vacation easy, saving me effort, and heightening my family's experience. And by the way if you happen to be going to Animal Kingdom you must have this book. It will double, maybe triple, your fun there. I bought a second copy on Amazon to send to my brother, who is coming next week!

A couple of quibbles; otherwise great book,
By Charles Donovan "Cardinal Charlie" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Walt Disney World 2012 (Paperback)
My family bought this guidebook in 2009 for a weeklong vacation to Orlando, and were so pleased we ordered this 2012 edition.Like the previous book (which is actually pretty dogeared by now), this edition has page after page after page of color photographs. The information is detailed and comprehensive. A quibble: Our favorite ride, Splash Mountain, was downgraded from a 5-star rating in 2009 down to 3-star in 2012. What gives? It's a "satisfactual" ride all around. One last complaint: There is no mention of Seaworld or Universal. If you are only interested in Disneyworld on your vacation, you'll be very pleased with this book. |
