Book Reviews of The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Complete Guide to Walt Disney World)
Book Review: More than a guidebook
Summary: 5 Stars
If you haven't seen this book in the stores and are a Disney fan, you should know that it is unlike any other travel guide out there. There's so much more in here than just travel stuff, many of the pages are like a Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Disney World But Are Afraid To Ask. There's a whole introduction to Disney, with its history and cartoon characters and such. The big rides are covered by ARTICLES, not paragraphs. It's kind of what you'd expect to find in a hardback book, except with all the tips and ride specifications too like a good travel guide would have. From a pure travel standpoint, I really liked all the resort information and restaurant reviews. Very very helpful, and a book you will read more than once.Book Review: So much detail
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding! This book is filled with all the juicy little tidbits that so many books leave out. You can tell that the authors understand Disney World and know how to enjoy it.Book Review: The BEST Disney Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book in order to have more information for planning my honeymoon. I have been to Disney 3 times already and this book has still been incredibly helpful. It gives detailed information on EVERY ride so you can know what you want to do while in the parks. It gives information on planning your trip. Detailed information on all the resorts on Disney property and quite a few off property. Detailed information on the restaurants. The pictures are amazing. Sometimes it gives too much information like step by step what will happen on the rides, but this has been useful to an extent when discussing what to do with my fiance since he has never been. I would highly recommend this book for anyone going to disney world.Book Review: Beautiful pictures; not very helpful for decisions & planning
Summary: 2 Stars
To me, this book feels like a glorified Disney brochure. It has many, many beautiful pictures -- but that's pretty much the only positive thing I have to say about it. We wanted a useful travel guide, and we are extremely disappointed. We were hoping for something (like our old Unofficial Guide; I guess we'll buy a new one!) that would help us with making decisions on hotels, how to plan our days, how to deal with situations that come up with a toddler, etc. Skimming through this book, the tone feels almost like it was written by Disney to promote the parks (maybe the authors just love Disneyworld that much?). Sorry, but if you're looking for more candid help on planning, I wouldn't recommend this one.Book Review: The photos will blow you away!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised when I received this Disney guide. The photography, which is on nearly every page, is beautiful and unusual. There are pictures here I haven't seen anywhere else. There are even two collage-type images of Main Street USA, showing all the stores on one side in one long composite panorama, and all the stores on the other side in another. The writing is full of great information. I especially enjoy the lists of "Fun Finds," which are things to look for while you are riding a ride or seeing a show. I'm making my own list for my next trip to Disney World, this summer. You can bet I'll be bringing this book along!
