Book Reviews of The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, 2006
Book Review: Invaluable Disney World Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
My first experience with the Unofficial Guide was back in 1993, when I was 16 and my parents took our family of five to Disney World around the holidays. My mom had bought the Unofficial Guide then to plan virtually all of our events and to this day (14 years later), I still remember how easy it was to hit all the favorite rides with relatively short lines.
It was for that reason that I ordered the 2006 edition of the Guide when it came time to take my family of three to Disney World while I was home on leave from Iraq in April of 2006. I was pleased to learn that it not only covered Disney World, but the Universal (and other) parks as well.
The trick to getting the most out of the book is convincing everyone in your party to follow it! We spent the first day at Universal's Islands of Adventure and had no problems, whatsoever, hitting all the great rides (that our 4-year-old was tall enough for) with short lines. That is, until my wife decided to get spontaneous and took our son in line for the Pteranodon Flyers ride, which wasn't on the tear-out plan at all. This ride gave new meaning to "Tourist Trap" - they spent about 1 1/2 hours waiting in a very slow line for an anticlimatic 60-second ride. It was a "there's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back" event. When we got back to the hotel that night, I looked up the Pteranodon Flyers ride in the book and found the description matched exactly what we experienced with warnings not to waste any time on it.
My wife was much more inclined to follow the Guide's advice for the rest of the trip, and as a result, it was an awesome vacation. Thank you Mr. Sehlinger!
