Summary: Great for all food watchers..
Review: Being on Weight Watchers, I am much more conscious about what type of foods I can eat. Not being a strict vegetarian, (I don't eat red meat and VERY little meat at all) I found this book very enlightening. I found there are much more options out there than I expected!While my options might be more than an average vegetarian, this book is a fantastic general guidebook to what is available at the WDW parks and resort restaurants. Knowing what places can give you egg substitute or garden burgers is very handy.. also knowing that many of the chefs around "the world" are very accomodating for special diets, helps a lot! My suggestion for folks is definitely keep this as one of your top planning guides, read it at least once before you go.. have it handy so you can see what options are there and be flexible. If you aren't able to call ahead to the restaurant, have other places picked that you like to eat. Another tip is letting the folks know when you make your reservation is a good heads up to the staff to have what you want available. I have a friend who is on a very strict diet after undergoing a gastric bipass, and she let them know ahead of time what she couldn't have and reminded them again when she checked in for dinner, and they were able to put together the most amazing meal! A final note that chefs change resorts and so the accuracy of this book is not 100% but still well worth the read. This book has every restaurant listed and a very comprehensive review. I am so glad I got this book!

Summary: A healthier way to visit the land of the mouse!
Review: I bought this book because I have been trying to make my diet vegetarian and eating out is sometimes difficult. I thought that this would help me find the places for me. I also think it would be a helpful guide for anyone trying to just find healthier food in a junk food "world" The book is great and very thoroughly researched. The only problem I found was that I would start out my day planning ahead for which restaurants I would go to at the theme parks and when I got into the line for food the item I wanted was no longer on the menu. The biggest offender was not Disney but still when you've got a heartier meal in mind a salad doesn't always cut it. This is not the fault of the authors and I highly recommend this boook to anyone planning a trip to Orlando.

Summary: Read in advance, and be sure to check the web site updates
Review: POSITIVES:
- Excellent for educating vegetarians (and everyone) about the difference between Disney and ordinary restaurants...that the chefs work with you to create what you want, there's no need to stick to the menu. - Good for convincing vegetarians (and gourmands) that it's worth going to nice restaurants at Disney. NEGATIVES:
- Too much emphasis on "calling in advance" to work out your dream meal, not enough on just picking the restaurants that have the best (or most) vegetarian/vegan items already on the menu. - Quite outdated by now, it's absolutely necessary to use their web site as an adjunct to bring the info up to date. BOTTOM LINE:
- Use primarily as a narrative read before you go...only secondarily as a reference for choosing where to eat each day.
