The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2010 By Bob Sehlinger 2009 Edition Also Available |
The Unofficial Guides are the "Consumer Reports" of travel guides, offering candid evaluations of their destinations' attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, sports, and more, all rated and ranked by a team of unbiased inspectors so even the most compulsive planners can be sure they're spending their time and money wisely. Each guide addresses the needs of everyone from families to business travelers, with handy charts that demonstrate how each place stacks up against the competition. Plus, all the details are pulled out so they're extremely easy to scan.
This annually updated blockbuster is everyone's favorite insider guide to the ins and outs of Orlando, one of the most-visited destinations in the U.S. Our team of anonymous inspectors has checked out every inch of the Disney parks, and they've been completely honest and objective in their evaluations of every ride, show, hotel, and restaurant. With the Unofficial Guide in hand, readers know they're maximizing their time, enjoying all the fun, and getting their money's worth. The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World also includes:
The bottom line with Walt Disney World is that it's very, very big--so big that you won't be able to see everything in a single visit. With 43 square miles of entertainment to explore (an area twice the size of Manhattan), that means you need to choose, in advance, what you want to do. That's where the Unofficial Guide comes in. It describes the many Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Magic Kingdom options, with candid reviews that don't just parrot Disney promotions, and it helps you construct a plan so that the overwhelming extravaganza of Disney World doesn't turn you into a Disney caricature of fear, knees-a-knockin' and sweat-a-streamin'. (Think Elmer Fudd with a shotgun in his face.) The Unofficial Guide researchers are not, however, just a bunch of control freaks. They discuss existentialism. They claim to be all for spontaneity, in jazz, for example, or cooking. "When it comes to Walt Disney World, however, we all agree that you either need a good plan or a frontal lobotomy." They further agree that the purpose of the plan is not to tick off the activities on your list and make it to the end of the day. It's to enable you to enjoy, to actually experience, the many moments that make up a day at Walt Disney World. What a concept! The Guide includes essential advice on navigating lines, dealing with line-hoppers, and attempting to eat without going broke. It provides excellent maps as well as lodging recommendations and budget options. Because your Walt Disney World preferences will likely be different depending on whether you're a family, a couple, a group of singles, or a pair of honeymooners, there are tailored suggestions for a variety of visitors, including tips for seniors, disabled guests, and expectant mothers. The Unofficial Guide is a fun and lively read, but it's also exceptionally useful. Unlike, say, a Magic Kingdom all-you-can-eat experience, it's a small investment for a very beneficial return. |

How many pouches, pockets, bags, and purses do you want to carry at Walt Disney World? And how well will you remember, amid the clamor and frenzy, which sack holds your entry tickets and which your meal coupons, where you put that map and what you did with the hotel reservations? Among the jumble of guidebooks and cameras, souvenirs and sunglasses, important slips of paper elude panicky fingers. But it needn't be so.
The PassPorter is a brilliant travel aid. It boasts 14 sturdy manila pockets, each clearly labeled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your lodgings; and where to store all the notes, plans, tickets, pamphlets, coupons, and numerous etceteras for each day of Walt Disney World exploration; as well as extra slots for ticket stubs, receipts, and small souvenirs. These pocket pages are also designed for recording important information, such as flight, train, or bus details; target travel budgets; and what you plan to do and where you plan to visit on any given day. Each page has space for jotting down notes and memories of the trip, from meals to weather to the best and worst thing of each day. If you're not an avid journal keeper, these quick notes may keep your many experiences from running together into one hectic jumble. The pockets alone make this a useful take-along, but the PassPorter is a thorough source of information as well. There are chapters on planning your adventure, lodging options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programs, food options, and maps. With a durable-laminated cover, spirdual notebook design, and back page of phone numbers (everything from Walt Disney World information to the weather line to MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World.

Each of the 20 on-site hotels is profiled in exhaustive 4-6 page descriptions with photos and layouts. Candid, personal reviews rate the park’s 250 dining options, from full-service restaurants to casual counter eateries. “KidTips,” “TweenTips,” and “TeenTips” written by the Marx’s 13-year old daughter offer a kid’s perspective on the attractions, while age-appropriateness ratings by the authors give parents an extra heads up. Well-organized and highly functional, the book features a sturdy spiral binding, storage pockets, worksheets, and a handy elastic closure. | |

The Walt Disney World Trivia Book : Secrets, History & Fun Facts Behind the Magic By Louis A. Mongello |
This book will help you discover Walt Disney World’s secrets, history, hidden treasures, and the little details that make everything so wonderful. It is divided into six chapters. Chapter One covers the "World" in general; the next four chapters cover each of the theme parks; and the sixth and last focuses on the areas "Beyond the Parks" — the resort hotels, the monorail, Downtown Disney, and the water parks. Each chapter begins with multiple-choice questions, followed by the correct answers and additional fun facts about the subject. Chapter Two: The Magic Kingdom opens with general questions about the park and then is subdivided by land (Adventureland, Frontierland, etc.), while Chapter Three: Epcot, starts with general questions and then is subdivided by its two "Worlds." Thus, a question about Space Mountain, for example, would be found in the Tomorrowland section of Chapter Two. The questions in Chapter One challenge you to remember WDW history and to identify where in WDW you might find a particular character, prop, attraction, etc. or hear a particular line of dialogue (taken from an attraction script or theme song). It also includes questions related to any and all parts of WDW. Chapter Six, in contrast, quizzes you specifically on your knowledge of the non-theme park parts of WDW. Walt Disney World has gone through many changes in its 30-plus years. So some questions let readers take a step back in time to revisit original concepts and attractions that no longer exist. Fans who miss Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride or were never able to experience Horizons firsthand, for example, can stay in touch or get better acquainted with them here. To add to the fun, you’ll find fascinating tidbits of information highlighted throughout the book. Looking for all the information you can get about a particular ride, resort, or whatever? Check the Index and look for your subject by name. And try not to be too disappointed if you don’t find it. While this book contains hundreds of questions about Walt Disney World, WDW has thousands of nooks and crannies. One book simply can’t cover them all.

Vacation Guide to Disney World for Scrapbooker By Dennis and Karen Sullivan |
With the Vacation Guide to Disney World for Scrapbookers, you can bring home the most important part of your vacation, the pleasant memories of your experiences. This book shows you how to capture memories, in four unique ways.
First, although Orlando is an extraordinary place to have fun, it is easy for people to forget most of the things that they see and do. There are so many experiences, one right after another, that they won't all sink in unless you fix the memories in your mind right away. The "Talk About It!" sections of this book guide family discussions about the attractions, right on the spot. Use them to compare experiences and relive the details of a ride while you stop for a snack or wait in the next line. You will remember more of the fun things you saw and spend quality time talking to each other, too. There are "Talk About It!" sections for most major attractions. Second, back at home, there usually is little to prompt you to recall the pleasant memories of your vacation (certainly not the credit card bills). You already know the solution to this problem; MAKE SCRAPBOOKS. The "Imagine That!" sections of this book are filled with tips and suggestions for your scrapbooks. Make pages based on the outstanding make-believe themes in Orlando resorts, parks and attractions. Sample page layouts are not included. There are many other books and magazines with these types of examples. Instead, this book provides idea seeds based on the unique fantasy themes and experiences you will find in Orlando. Put together these theme park page ideas with your favorite layouts, and make some really creative scrapbooks. Don't be limited to scrapbooks, either. Try one of the memory-prompting alternatives to traditional scrapbooks. Third, in order to bring home positive memories, you must plan. You can't bring home the best memories if you didn't experience them in the first place. The Vacation Guide to Disney World for Scrapbookers has descriptions and details on all seven Orlando theme parks, plus Disney resorts, so you can decide what to see. Pick the parks and attractions your family would like. At the same time, you should be using the scrapbook idea seeds to start thinking about your page themes, and planning where you will get pictures and other memory materials. Fourth, you can take a little break from your vacation and get your gift shopping done. This edition has a special bonus section, the "Disney Shopping Guide for Gift Givers." Disney stores have toys and souvenirs, of course, but you will be surprised how much more you can find. Special shops have outstanding selections of household items, art, clothing, craft items, etc. from around the world. Disney buyers really do use as much imagination as the ride designers. Make your vacation live through the gifts you find to bring home. The Shopping Guide pinpoints locations of the great shops. They are on Disney property and easily reached on the excellent resort transportation system. Shop descriptions include merchandise samples and prices. | |
Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Walt Disney World & Orlando By Michelle Snow |
This lively guide lives up to its title by page 5, when it poses the question, "What do Viagra and Walt Disney World have in common?" (Answer: you have to wait an hour for a two-minute ride. B-dum-bum.) Savvy authors Diane Bair and Pamela Wright amuse and inform as they deliver the lowdown on where to see Mickey M. in "person," dump your sullen teens for a few hours, or book a much-needed "serenity massage" after a long day of toddler-wrangling. Handily divided into sections covering accommodations, dining, diversions, and so forth, this wry tome leaves no stone unturned or bloated cartoon character unpunctured. Perhaps most valuable is the flinty, no-nonsense analysis of the various themed Disney hotels--which ones appeal to children, which to adults, and which are best avoided altogether. And if you have any energy left after the Magic Kingdom spits you out, you'll also find info on the Orlando area's other attractions--can you really afford to miss Gatorland?
Looking for a travel guide that goes where other guides fear to tread? One that rides roughshod over ad-copy puffery to smartly deliver the real scoop on a destination's sites and attractions? One that dares to be honest, hip, and fun? Look no more. Frommer's Irreverent Travel Guides are wickedly irreverent, unabashedly honest, and downright hilarious, and provide an insider's perspective on which attractions are overrated tourist traps and which are the secret gems that locals love. You'll get the lowdown on restaurants, lodging, and shopping, and even find out what the locals think of you. "Like being taken around by a savvy local," said the New York Times. "Hipper and savvier than other guides," concurred Diversion magazine. Never shy about confronting the issues, the Irreverents are guides to real travel in the real world. It's said that if you can't have fun at Walt Disney World, you may want to check your pulse. But you don't have to be driven mad either by the crowds, the aggressive good cheer, or the gloppy sentiment. With the smart, funny, and straight-shooting Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Walt Disney World you won't lose your mind--or your kids. Find out which rides and attractions are really worth seeing--and those you shouldn't waste your time on. Find out which Disney food is really worth eating and which isn't. Get insider tips on beating the system, such as how to avoid standing in long lines, and how to get a room with a view. With this refreshingly honest guide your trip to the Magic Kingdom will be both supremely manageable and deliciously fun. | |

The Walt Disney World Trivia Book: Secrets, History & Fun Facts Behind the Magic By Louis A. Mongello |
This book goes farther in scope than a lot of other Disney guides I've read, especially the Birnbaum and Selinger books. Not only does this book cover every last corner of Disney World with honest reviews and opinions that'd make Mike Eisner cringe, but it also discusses Universal and SeaWorld plus both the big and little attractions that make Central Florida such a wonderful vacation spot. If you want to look beyond the obvious, there's something for every taste in this book. Speaking of tastes, you'll especially enjoy the sections on restaurants. Very useful, with lots of specific money saving tips for every part of the trip. Whatever your pleasure - this book lays out your options in an entertaining, fun, organized fashion.

Queens in the Kingdom: The Ultimate Gay and Lesbian Guide to the Disney Theme Parks By Jeffrey Epstein& Eddie Shapiro |
Think of them as the tour-guide version of Patsy and Edina from Absolutely Fabulous -- if those two ever were sober enough to write a book. Knowing that the agenda of the average gay or lesbian traveler is a bit different from that of Mom and Pop Smith from Des Moines, Jeffrey Epstein and Eddie Shapiro proffer a guide book to the Disney resorts that specifically caters to gay and lesbian readers. While sniping at each other only occasionally, they offer candid, informative and always-humorous opinions on everything from hotels and attractions to restaurants and shows. The writers also provide information about nearby theme parks and local gay life surrounding the Disney landscape. Additionally, the book boasts: "fairy facts," unique tidbits of trivia about every attraction in the parks; vital tips on how to make the most of your stay, such as which restaurants offer the best bang for your buck and how to avoid all the long lines; help on finding the parks' "gay goodies" like Ellen's Energy Adventure (starring none other than Ellen DeGeneres); and where to grab a kiss without feeling stared at. With additional commentary provided by gays and lesbians surveyed from across the country, there's something for everyone: singles, couples, parents with kids, singles looking to be coupled and couples looking to be single. Even people long-familiar with Disneyland and Walt Disney World will want to pick up this funny, irreverent and insightful look at how they, too, can experience family at America's family Mecca.
