By Pixie Hollow Diva I consider myself a very knowledgeable Disney Diva. I have traveled to Disney World as a child, then as a teenager and many times as an adult. I have passed the Disney love along to my husband and it is instilled in my two young daughters.

We KNOW Disney World pretty well. However, things are CONSTANTLY changing there! I travel there yearly, sometime twice a year and I feel like each time is a different experience. You try to learn new things and find out new tricks and tips out which always help to better your vacation. I was given the chance to review the new. I was excited to read and look over this book. When taking on Disney World, you need a plan, especially with young children.

This book helps parents plan a Disney World vacation without possibly becoming too overwhelmed. You want to make the trip and memorable and fun for your children and you can do that with learning from this guide. I am very familiar with Disney World and I learned some new things by looking over this guide! With children, it is always good to have new tips and tricks. Traveling with children to Disney World is a completely different experience than traveling without them.

It is good to know things that include children and not just Disney World in general. If you have never taken a Disney World vacation with children or have not traveled there recently, this guide will help you tremendously! The guide is broken down into many sections. The guide is 488 pages total. Within these pages lie useful and helpful information, especially conquering Disney World with children.

There are twelve sections to help you navigate through the book much easier. Basic Considerations. Getting Your Act Together. Where to Stay. Dining. Know Before You Go.

Ready Set Tour. The Magic Kingdom. Epcot. Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Universal Orlando and Sea World. The Best of The Rest The books chapters and self-explanatory and provide tons of great information!

Several sections I had loved to see them being covered. It does break down the age groups of young children and even covers it all the way up to teenagers. I think this part of awesome because many times families have larger age gaps in children, or you are traveling with other families. By covering such a large array of ages, it helps everyone understand any age group while traveling. The guide breaks down all theme parks including pricing for passes to understanding magic hours. I also loved the fact that they spoke about strollers! This is one thing I always feel like people have no idea on what to do.

They never know if they should bring their own, rent from an outside company or use Disney Worlds daily rentals. The guide covers ALL of those options, this way you can choose and understand what works for you before you go! The guide also includes many maps. The maps include all the Disney World parks, the Orlando area along with Sea World and Universal and many more! I think the writers did a great thing by adding this tool to help you get a better understand of the area itself and theme parks. The maps provide a visual for you especially when it comes to planning with in the theme parks. A very useful part of this book explains if a child becomes lost.

This is a HUGE must know if traveling with children. There are different places to check depending on which theme park you are in that day. It is important to know what the procedure is if you happen to lose your child. It also states where to report to look for any children who may have been found.

As a parent, I highly recommend you take notes on the different locations. I am pleased to see the book had covered this topic! I love that attraction and ride restrictions which has been included. Sometimes, as you are planning your trip along with rides, it is good to know who may or may not be able to ride. This is useful, especially for families trying to Fastpass certain rides. You would need to know ahead of time the height requirement so that you know if anyone cannot ride in your family.

This always works great for my family because if one of my young children cannot meet the requirement, my husband and I know ahead of time which rides we might have to parent swap on and which ones we can ride together as a family. Not everyone wants to spend an entire trip in only Walt Disney world, even though I always do! The guide covers Universal theme park as well as Sea World.

This is great by them because they understand people travel outside of just Disney World. For one price, someone is gaining tons of knowledge on Disney World, AND two other theme parks nearby.

The Best Walt Disney World Guidebooks – Of all the guidebooks, the Unofficial Guide is the the most thorough. Authors Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa pull no punches in telling you the best way to organize your trip and avoid hassles and rip-offs. The “touring plans” in this book are excellent and can be a huge timesaver, particularly if you’re visiting Walt Disney World during a busy time of year. The book covers all the basics in depth — descriptions and reviews of all the Walt Disney World attractions, the hotels, the restaurants and more. There is also some excellent information on the two Universal theme parks and SeaWorld. The tone of the Unofficial Guide is humorously cynical.

Some people think it’s too hard on Disney: we find it funny and usually right on the mark. This terrific book includes articles by experts about things like how to decide whether to buy a vacation package. Many of the write-ups about the attractions provide fun and interesting background information. There are lots of maps and charts, including a great chart of attendance at Walt Disney World by season to help you plan. All the information is kept updated year-round at. If you haven’t bought a guidebook for your upcoming trip to Disney World, get this one.

Most importantly, the tables and figures are all included at high resolution and are zoomable. As a bonus, the Kindle version will automatically get updated on a regular basis throughout the year as new information comes out. – This is the official guide, produced with Disney’s blessing. Yet surprisingly enough, it’s a pretty honest and objective book with a lot of great information, and it’s nicely compact (much thinner than the other guidebooks, though the pages are larger). Since this is a Disney guidebook, it does not cover other Florida theme parks and attractions, unlike competing guides. There are a few nice coupons in the back.

The book is full of excellent information about how families can prepare for a thoroughly enjoyable Walt Disney World vacation, including detailed information on which attractions are scary for kids and why.

As with all of the Unofficial Guide books, this one has excellent information about avoiding crowds and minimizing wait times, and the information is kept updated year-round at. The book is designed to be a supplement to the main Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World rather than a replacement. It’s much smaller than the main book and focuses primarily on touring the parks with children. It also comes in a that is pretty much equivalent to the print version as long as you have a good tablet to read it on. – This book reveals the locations of more than a thousand hidden Mickey Mouse images scattered throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. Disney’s artists and imagineers have inserted these into rugs, upholstery, ride facades, walkways, and just about anywhere else you could imagine hiding them.

Unofficial Disney World Sites

Kids absolutely love finding these as they make their way around the World, and plenty of adults have caught the Hidden Mickey bug as well. This guide is slim enough to carry with you, and it can be fun to check the guide during meals and while standing in line. It’s amazing how often we would pull the book out while taking a break and learn there was one visible from where we were at that moment. – This is really a guide aimed at kids, rather than a guide for parents. If you have children old enough to enjoy their own Walt Disney World guidebook, this book would make a good gift and help them prepare for the trip.

It’s pretty much the same material covered in the regular guide, but designed and written on a level that kids can enjoy, with plenty of pictures and information to help them decide if a particular ride is going to be something they’d like. Disneyland Guidebooks – The best overall guide to Disneyland. Includes information about how to save money as well as excellent strategies for maximizing your enjoyment and avoiding long lines.

There is thorough information about both Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure theme park, plus coverage of Universal Studios Hollywood. Plus, the information in the book is kept updated year-round at. Is almost identical to the print version when viewed on a modern tablet like an iPad or other high-resolution device, with some very minor formatting issues that don’t affect readability in any significant way.

Most importantly, the tables and figures are all included at high resolution and are zoomable.This is the Official Guide, produced with Disney’s blessing. Naturally it tends to glorify Disney a bit, but it provides plenty of useful, in-depth information about the two parks and the three Disney hotels. Since this is a Disney guidebook, it does not cover other Southern California theme parks and attractions, unlike competing guides.

There are a few nice coupons in the back. Disney Cruise Line Guidebooks Disney-Specific Cruise Guidebooks – This is the fourth edition of the Unofficial Guide’s Disney Cruise Line book. The onboard shows, restaurants, activities and other amenities on each of the four Disney ships are all discussed and rated with the kind of candid style that the Unofficial Guides are famous for. There are plenty of practical tips for how to choose between the different ships and itineraries, pros and cons of the various stateroom types, and how to prepare for your cruise.

There is a nice color section at the front with pictures of shows, rooms and public areas. The port adventures available on Castaway Cay are covered comprehensively, and Nassau is covered fairly well, but there are only a handful of specific reviews of other adventures at other ports. (To be fair, it’s almost impossible to cover every port adventure; there are hundreds of them in the Bahamas and Caribbean alone, and they change constantly.) There are good capsule overviews of all the ports of call Disney visits, including tips on food and top sightseeing picks.

One of our favorite things about this book is the self-guided walking tours section, which has been expanded in this edition to cover even more ports of call. If you want a deeper look at the various ports, getting individual guide books for each port might be worthwhile, or you could get a broader that covers the area you are visiting. Is almost identical to the print version when viewed on a modern tablet like an iPad or other high-resolution device, with some very minor formatting issues that don’t affect readability in any significant way. On an e-paper Kindle or on a small device like a phone, the formatting is not as successful, but you can still get the key content. The tables and figures are all included at high resolution and are zoomable. Destination-Specific Cruise Guidebooks (8th Edition) – Compared to other books on cruising, the author spends very little space on cruise lines or cruising in general, which is great if you already know what cruise line you’re sailing on. Instead it focuses on the history and lore of the Caribbean and Bahamas, plus in-depth coverage of all the major cruise ship ports in the Caribbean and Bahamas, including all of the ports Disney Cruise Line visits.

This is a great guide to help you choose between different itineraries, and figure out what to focus on once you get to each port. The photography is excellent, and the writing is sharp. You really couldn’t ask for a better overall single guide to the Caribbean from the perspective of the cruise passenger. A pull-out map of the Caribbean helps you understand the relationships between the islands, and would be a fun thing to bring on the cruise so the kids can plot your progress with highlighters. (7th Edition) – Like the other books in this series, this book focuses on ports and information, especially about history and sightseeing. It has a short overview of cruising and cruise lines, but spends the bulk of the book on information that will help you figure out what you want to see and gives you useful and interesting background on the places and sights of the Mediterranean. The ports of the Mediterranean Sea have more history packed into them than pretty much any other place on Earth, and the depth and richness of the area is covered well in this book.

A great single-book resource for those interested in learning more about the Med prior to a cruise. (9th Edition) – This is a great book to take with you on an Alaska cruise, Disney or otherwise.

Other cruise guidebooks spend much of their available space telling you about the cruise lines, the cruise ships, how to find the buffet, and other basics that are covered in more depth in one of the Disney Cruise Line books listed above. This book assumes you know your way around the ship and cruising and focuses on the ports of call, Alaska history, and the Inside Passage. The pictures and production values are excellent, and it describes the major attractions of each of the Alaskan ports of call in detail, which is a great help when trying to figure out which port excursions to take.

A pull-out map shows the Alaskan coastline and the major cruise ship routes, so you can plot your progress and orient yourself. (2012 Edition) – This is the book they recommend and sell in the onboard shops on Disney Alaska cruises. It’s a great and very personal guide to the common Alaska cruise routes, written by a sailor who has traveled between Seattle and Alaska hundreds of times on a wide variety of ships. It’s filled with lots of photos, trivia, tall tales and gossip about the places, people and wildlife of Alaska. It’s a bit of a tossup whether this or Alaska By Cruise Ship is a better choice.

They both have a nice fold-out map and plenty of information. We’d pick the Alaska Cruise Handbook for those who prefer a more first-person memoir of Alaska and Alaska By Cruise Ship for people who want to focus on practical information and history. The same author also has a newer book that is a slightly reworked version of the Handbook called.

It has bigger pictures and better paper, but is thinner and doesn’t come with the map that’s included in the Handbook. If you only want one, we’d choose the Handbook. Tokyo Disney Resort Guidebooks, based on three visits and substantial research. As far as we know, MouseSavers.com has the best information available in English about Tokyo Disney Resort discounts, and it’s FREE!

Is the best available guidebook in English that we’ve found (and for a long time the only guidebook in English). This fairly comprehensive book, revised in October 2013, has good coverage of a lot of important stuff at the resort, including descriptions of each attraction, dining location and shop. It also has worthwhile material about the Disney hotels. It doesn’t go into much depth about how to save money (but fortunately you have for that) and it doesn’t have touring plans or tips on the best strategies for avoiding lines, though it does list which attractions have Fastpass and Single Rider Lines. It also compares Tokyo Disney to the American parks, which is helpful for those who just want to “hit the highlights” and do attractions that are different from their American versions.

Haynes manual for golf mkv. All in all, a worthy effort and well worth buying if you’re planning a trip to Tokyo Disney for the first time. MouseSavers.com® is not an official site of The Walt Disney Company or of Universal Studios.
