Rating: Summary: Truly for Kids! Review: I purchased this book after quickly previewing it in the local bookstore and finding that it had A LOT of pictures for my four year old son to look at. I thought that it would be a great bedtime read for us as we anticipate our trip. Although we have pretty much enjoyed it, it is really not that kind of book. Some of the pictures were a little scary for him (the witch in Snow White-- too realistic and eerie- and the photos of the Haunted Mansion) and many other pics were cartoons rather than actually pics of the parks. The intended audience is kids who can read and complete written activities alone or with little assistance. The language is geared for this age group without being too simplistic and there are great games, activities and ideas for kids getting ready for a WDW vacation(you write right in the book!). An awesome book for the count-down days preceding the trip but an EVEN BETTER book for the long plane, car, or bus trip! What a fantastic idea! Needs more pics of the parks but even still a great activity with interesting page layouts. We'll be saving this book for when my son is a little older.
Rating: Summary: A fun book that becomes a souvenir Review: I purchased this book for my step-children in anticipation of our upcoming trip to WDW. I have not yet given it to them, so I can't report on what the kids think of it, but I will tell you what my parental opinion of the book is - Great! It's chock-full of pictures and cute facts about the rides. I enjoyed looking through it as this will be MY first trip to WDW (I'm a Disneyland veteran, through and through). It even gave me a great overview of what the parks look like, as it included far more pictures than any other guidebook I have seen. There are a bunch of cool pages in the back for kids to record their impressions of the park as well as pages to collect autographs from their favorite characters. I would fully recommend this book for anyone with children, or first-timers like me who could then pass the book along to someone else with children.

Rating: Summary: This is a really great book! Review: I really liked this book! Why? Not to be prejudiced or anything, but because I wrote for it! I'm Danielle T, you can see my picture in the front section! :-)
Rating: Summary: This book Tell you every thing about every Ride in Disney Review: I swear I am one of the Kids who wrote the book for 1998. I know Carter was the person that made it a offical book. The kids are Me Amy Seth and Kristy. Is that enough to make you belive me? The people who came were Jill, Todd, and Deanna. Well if i worte the book I would like it.
Rating: Summary: Rediculious Review: I think that birnbaum puts out way too many books on the same subject... I think their main Disney book covers the subject well enough and that all their other books are just re-hashed material. A disney vacation is expensive enough without thinking you need several books that basicly cover the same material. A very good balance for birnbaums book is "the unofficial guide to disney" between these 2 books you get an excellent balance. i planned my vacation using both of them... and i wasnt sorry. They provide an excellent source of balanced pros and cons.
Rating: Summary: Walt Disney World Review: I think this book is great because it gives you alot of tips about the park. It also tells what the shows or rides mean.

Rating: Summary: this book is cool! Review: I`m a kid expert for the 2000 edition. I was even on Radio Disney for my work! It`s really great being a kid expert. You go to WDW with 3 other kids and the editors, and then you get your names and comments in the book! You should apply! It`s a lot of fun.I also run a free WDW trip planning service. If you would like me to plany your trip, email me! amejr999@bellatlantic.net
Rating: Summary: A fun book that becomes a souvenir Review: My children enjoyed this book (I bought one for each of them). They read it ahead of time to plan what they wanted to see on our first trip to Disneyworld and were able to record some of their favorite moments in the book as a keepsake.
