Among the gems are fun facts, suggested itineraries and little things to look for." -- Florida Times Union

Book Description
Headed to Walt Disney World? If so, you'll be delighted with this new full-color guidebook. Filled with hundreds of photographs, well organized and absolutely packed with fun information, it makes a strong case to be, as its cover proclaims, "The Definitive Disney Handbook."

So numerous they seem to spill off the pages, the gorgeous photos alone put this book at the top of the Disney pack. From fireworks and parades to stock cars and surfers, if it's at Disney you see it here. But what really sets this book apart is its coverage of Disney's theme parks, water parks and other entertainment options. Packed with more pure information than probably any other Disney guide ever published, "The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World" offers a thorough description, story line, back story, specifications, tips, Fun Finds and Fun Facts for every Disney attraction. The authors obviously had great access: many Disney designers and engineers are quoted and some photos were taken backstage.

Extra touches are everywhere. Sprinkled throughout the book are features on Disney architecture, ride technology, monorails, swimming pools and much more. There's an animal guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom and a separate section just on Christmas.

The book is designed so it's easy to track down just what you're looking for. The main chapters are color-coded and divided into clearly marked sections. For the theme parks, each attraction is on its own page -- or often, pages. Shopping sections are organized first by category -- apparel, art, books -- and then by store. There's a full index and, on the back page, a phone directory.

From the Back Cover
Walt Disney World gives you a choice of 168 rides and attractions, 81 live performances, 104 recreational activities, 179 places to eat, 197 shops and 29 resorts -- all spread out over 47 square miles. Overwhelming? Not any more. Filled with the most detailed information ever published about Disney World, this full-color guide combines a thorough description of everything Disney has to offer with a cornucopia of advice, insight and tips to help you enjoy it. In other words, it's a handbook on how to have fun. Also included: over 1,000 fun finds and facts, dozens of secrets, quizzes, Hidden Mickeys and over 400 color photos.
Customer Review: Best Complete Guide yet!
I have the 2007, 2008, and now the 2009 version of this book. By far, the 2009 version is the best. At the very front it shows what is new at Disney and what has gone. I hear a lot about what comes to Disney, but not so much about what has gone or been re-done, so that was very useful in planning my honeymoon for this year. At the beginning of each park chapter there is an At-A-Glance part where they have gathered information everyone wants to know. The attractions part of the At-A-Glance section gives starred ratings of each of the attractions, how long the ride is, the average wait time, and a brief description. Next is where to find each of the characters in the park. Very useful for kids and those with obsessions for particular characters, like mine with Eeyore. Next is a section on the performers with a description and rating as well as where to find it. Next there are reviews for all of the restaurants in that park, hours of operation, and general pricing. Where to shop is next, and that is all there in the first few pages of a chapter for quick referencing. After the At-A-Glance section there is more in-depth information on park attractions including fun facts, review, and an hour-by-hour average wait time. This book helps so much when planning what you want to see, when you want to see it, and mapping out where to go in the park. It is more expensive than other guides, but it is well worth the money. I look forward to this book every year.
Customer Review: Terrific Disney Guide
I've been to Disney World many times but I never bought a guide book to it until now and I must say I was impressed. What a terrific guide to Disney World this is! My favorite parts of the beautiful, expressive pictures that bring Disney World to life and capture its magic. Based on my experience, I would recommend this to those who are taking their first trip to Disney World and to repeaters like me. Useful. Thoughtful. Sized just right to take with you on your trip.
