Real Reviews but a Weighty Tome

Customer Rating:

Although having been to Disneyworld previously this is the first time I have bought this book. They state that they will give the real picture and this they certainly do, in a very humorous way. The book is littered with hints and tips and gives information on the best ways to go on rides and which ones are usually worth the wait. However, I think sometimes there is a bit too much information which could reduce a lot of spontenaity. The do everything as quickly as possible approach my be ok if you are only in Orlando for a few days but for Brits going over there for three weeks it just sounds exhausting. Some of the advice is good, such as taking rest days. The section on Walt Disney World with Kids is excellent. For the first time I will be going with children (my nieces aged 8 and 5) and will certainly take into account much of the advice. Some of the advice on eating in the parks is excellent and again the hints and tips are welcome. The section on booking character meals sounded like it would be harder to mount than a polar expedition and has made me decide to avoid these like the plague. Thanks for the advice guys. For those who are desperate to dine with the characters the plan of action is very well laid out. Overall, I have found this book to be helpful and I am sure much of it will enhance the experience of my trip. I hope everyone else in my party (all 7 of us) find it just as useful. Why 4 stars. The book is very thick and weighs a ton. It makes it somewhat impractical to take to the parks, but in their defence, the authors do provide tear out information sheets and maps at the back of the book.
