Book Reviews of The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Complete Guide to Walt Disney World)
Book Review: The best Disney guide book ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a true Disney fanatic. I have more than a dozen books that review the World, but this one has so many interesting details and yes, as it states, great pictures too. It is worth the cost and is very entertaining. It doesn't have the same information that you find in most of the other books out there, but new interesting info and a history of where most of the attractions and what inspired them came from. I highly recommend this guide to anyone who enjoys Disney!Book Review: Impressive!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so impressed with this colorful, helpful guidebook! I got it for my family so we could plan a trip to Disney World, and we all love it. All the hundreds of photos helped immensely to help us "get our bearings" before leaving for our vacation. The pictures helped the kids pick out their favorite rides for us to go on.
The Accommodations chapter helped us pick out where to stay during our trip. We didn't realize there were actual animals at Animal Kingdom Lodge! We stayed there, and had a ball.
The writing is so smart and funny! I actually laughed out loud when I read the Hall of Presidents article, about when the Abe Lincoln character kept malfunctioning and hitting itself in the head. It was also fun to read about The Simpson's parody of the attraction. There is interesting and unusual information throughout the book, more than any other guidebook I've ever seen.
I'm very glad I decided to get this book! Enthusiastically recommended!
Book Review: Look, if this is the best advice you can offer....
Summary: 2 Stars
Really, the only thing you need to know about this book is that includes tips on the best attractions in which to breast feed your child.
I thought it was some sort of bizarre cosmic joke.
It wasn't.
Apparently, the writers don't subscribe to the belief that if your child is young enough to require that sort of service, you'd all be better off not going to a theme park.
Also, in my opinion, the writers tend to be extremely whiney, and have a sense of entitlement the size of Texas. They might as well call this book "Tax Dodge". Reading about how the characters made breakfast unpleasant because the writer took a laptop to a character breakfast....It's like Alice in Wonderland meets the Travel Guide section, but without the possibility that it's all a dream.
You are far better off sticking to Birnbaum's. They may be corporate shills, but the phrase "breast feeding" has never crossed their copy.
Book Review: Awesome guidebook! Bravo!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! Not only are the articles great fun to read, but the PHOTOS are gorgeous and full of color. This makes me want to go back to Disney on my next vacation.
I've bought other Disney World guidebooks before but this one is different. It's so full of info! And I can't overemphasize the beauty of the pages -- you have to look inside this one to see what I mean.
I keep reading it; it's so interesting! I love the histories of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, and the background to the Yeti next to the Expedition Everest attraction writing.
Bravo!
Book Review: The best Disney World guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Buying this book will save you so much time and money it's a real bargain. We weren't able to go to the water parks, so I can't vouch for that chapter, but everything else is so helpful. Simply put, the guide has EVERYTHING you could ever want to know about EVERYTHING at Disney! All the inside information helped us plan our trip in ways such as knowing what restaurant reservations to make ahead of time and what rides were too scary for our kids. I looked at all the top Disney guides at a bookstore before choosing, and this one is absolutely the best one out there.
