Though this is a quite lengthy book, it is definitely worth reading for your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World and the surrounding attractions. There is probably more information than will come in handy in this book, but everyone who reads it will find what they need. The most useful sections I found were the Dining Guide and the Resort Guide. These are usually the areas of vacations that cost the most money, so the details listed can help you plan accordingly based on your budget. My favorite section was the chapter on the Magic Kingdom, which familiarizes you with the park itself. There are summaries of each ride and attraction, as well as a rating based on age. Each page is packed with information; keep your eyes out for the “Don’ts” and “Hidden Magic” boxes as well as the others. As I am a huge Disney fan and habitual visitor of the original park, Disneyland, this will definitely come in handy for my future trip to Walt Disney World. Doug Ingersoll’s extensive breakdown of the park makes you feel like you have your own personal travel agent. This is a must-have if you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World.

I’m not a big fan of the Complete Idiot’s series. Many of the titles in that series cover their topics superficially, with forced humor and snarkiness, and the assumption that the reader is, in fact, an idiot.
I travel often to Disney World and read a lot of Disney books. I bought this book not expecting to learn anything new. In fact, I planned to read it quickly and then write a scathing review.
You know what? I was wrong. Doug Ingersoll wrote a GREAT Disney book, full of real humor and personality. I did learn new things, and I enjoyed learning them. Ingersoll’s friendly, breezy style made the pages fly.
In comparison to Bob Sehlinger’s Unofficial Guide, there’s a lot missing from this book. But that’s fine. I don’t often use Sehlinger’s book because it’s just so big and lacks an index to help me find things quickly. Ingersoll’s book is perfect for the plane ride to Orlando. It also has a proper index, making it easy to find his quick, helpful reviews of Disney resorts, restaurants, rides, etc.
Wonderful job.
As a former member of the Disney Moms Panel and a current Personal Vacation Planner, I can assure you that this guide is worth its weight in gold! It is not only highly informative, but humorous as well. My copy is dog eared and much used!
This book will be giving my family and I a good idea on where to go and what to do. The recommendations for resteraunts, placed to stay at, how to get in/out of lines (where ever they may be) were what I needed. My nephew even help me mark up my book for things he wants to see when he goes in the summer and I marked up what I wanted to see early next year.
