 useful info, but a total downer July 7, 2008
If I hadnt been to Disney this book would make me NOT want to go. It continualy talkes about how crowded and overloaded and terrible everyday at disney is. It has some good info but it basiically says everyday is so crowded you shouldnt go. I have been in summer, at Christmas, spring break and during the school year and it was never so crowded it wasnt enjoyable. I would recommend Birnbaums guide.
 Must have book July 7, 2008
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.
 Horrible book - too many errors! June 22, 2008
Sadly my wife bought this book because it was new, on sale, and she wanted something to read on Disney for our upcoming trip (we're Annual Passholders) while waiting in line to pick up the children.
I have reviewed the Unofficial Guide to WDW with Children version in the past and gave it one star because IMHO it just plain has too many errors. Well, guess what - they did it again. What is it with the lack of accuracy in these books?
Just a few errors I know are things in the book that are wrong as examples. We recently stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort within WDW. Nice Moderate resort. Interesting feature is that all rooms come with a refrigerator as part of the room rate - its NOT an extra at CBR. Oh, but according to this book it is and you have to request one?!?!? Or how about this, every other book rates POP Century as nicer than the All-Star resorts - except this one??
We've become big fans of the PassPorter books on Disney (sold here at Amazon too). They even have a website to back up their books with updates, newsletters, etc. to keep everything up-to-the-minute. Sounds like overkill until you realize that if you have the right Discount Code or Program option you can save 4-5-600 dollars on a 6 night vacation at WDW. They seem to do all the research to keep up-to-date that this book says they do but I see ZERO evidence of for those things with which I have personal knowledge related to WDW.
Pass on this one and the entire series is my best advice.
Great! Outstanding! June 20, 2008

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 June 16, 2008
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.
