The Jungle Book Disney Read-Along


The Jungle Book Disney Read-Along
Customer Review: The Awesome Jungle Book Read-Along DVD
This is a wonderful DVD. My children enjoy the games and songs so much. Their favorite portion is the "Video's." They so enjoy seeing other children, and other families at play. The music and dancing is wonderful!


Tokyo Disney Made Easy
Want to visit the Tokyo Disney Resort but unsure how to do it? Don't know the customs? Worried about not speaking Japanese? This book provides explanations of likely situations. You'll learn where to go, what to say, and what to expect during every part of the trip, including the airport, transportation to the resort, hotels, and of course the parks themselves. Language and cultural differences no longer form an insurmountable hurdle. Visit the world's most exciting Disney parks in comfort and ease, confident you'll know what to do at each step.
Customer Review: Tokyo Disney Distilled
Kevin Yee has managed to distill the information you need to travel to TDR in a clear concise book. As someone who has visited TDR in the past, I can tell you that I wished for a book like Tokyo Disney Made Easy. What took me several trips to learn, the author has captured in one place. The book includes additional insights that were beyond my travels. I look forward to my next trip armed with my copy of Tokyo Disney Made Easy.
Customer Review: Some helpful information, but use other guidebooks also
I will say right off that I did get some helpful information from this book, most of which concerns interactions with clerks and such who may not speak English. The explanations of what happens during transactions involving food and merchandise is very useful for someone who doesn't speak Japanese. Beyond that, it is quite obvious that the author either doesn't travel abroad very much, if at all, and certainly has not been to Japan more than once or twice. Much of the information presented is at best based upon incorrect assumptions and at worst is down-right wrong. I'm not saying don't buy this book, but do be sure to consult "real" guide books about Japan such as those by Frommer's and Lonely Planet if you are venturing outside of the Tokyo Disneyland Resort. There is a lot of tedious information in the book that anyone who has ever left the house should be able to figure out for themselves, but I suppose someone may need a reminder to bring their tickets to the airport with them. I'd have much preferred the pages had been devoted to more in-depth information related to the subject of the book rather than educating people on how to travel in general. All-in-all, I did get enough good information from the book to justify the cost, but I'm very glad I had read other guide books first so I knew when I was being led astray by this one.
