Summary: The closest that you can get to a real tour guide...........
Review: Birnbaum`s has existed now for many years, making their expertise Walt Disney World. I discovered the book in 1994, a bit skeptical that any book could cover all that Walt Disney World contained, I picked the book up, read it and have not missed a copy since. This book does not drop the ball either, being the most extensive volume of Birnbaum`s yet, with all of the new attractions being received from Disneyland`s 50th anniversary, such as Soarin`, and the Auto Stunt Show, expected in the Disney MGM Studios by summer. This book does not slack about any of the attractions, giving in depth explanations of all of them, from Cinderella`s Castle, to Soarin` this book will cover every one of your Walt Disney World whims. Even if you will not be attending Walt Disney World this year I recommend that you pick up this book to see what you are missing, and (get to Walt Disney World as soon as possible.)

Summary: THE MOST INDISPENSIBLE GUIDE TO DISNEY WORLD
Review: i bought my first copy of Birnbuam's Guide to Disney World way back in 1988 before my wife and I went there for our honeymoon. We were back in 1995 with our first child and plan on going back again next year with our second child. Even though I've only been there twice in 17 years, I buy a copy of this guide EVERY year because i love Disney world and I love to read about all the new attractions and features of the Magic Kingdom.

Birnbaum's guide is like an old friend I visit every with every year. It's the guide I trust the most, the best written and most comprehensive. Each attraction is rated with info on what age group its geared towards. Hotels, restaurants, transportation throughout the Magic Kingdom? You'll find all the information right here.

Tips on the best times of the year to visit, best times of the day to visit certain attractions, average wait time in lines..all this and more is covered by Birnbaums guide. And perhaps most important, tips on planning your trip and saving money to get the most bang for your buck. I cannot possibly imagine going to Disney World without consulting the latest edition of this book first. A must have!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: So-so at best
Review: I was very excited to order this book up until the time I received it. The pictures are glossy and there is lots of character art but there is little in the way of substance. In fact, I was shocked at how thin this book was given its cost. It really seemed as though I was paying for the Disney copyrighted art and photos rather than information. Most of what I read in this book was something I had found on various online sources. The best part were the large colorful maps even though they aren't up-to-date (for example, the resort map doesn't show Crescent Lake near Epcot even though it shows the vague location of the resorts surrounding it). The Park maps are also quite colorful and easy to read. If you want a really basic guidebook that glosses over a lot of information without providing much substance then this might be the book for you. If you are looking for much more however, check out the web and save your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book is a wonderful planning guide that gives you every insight that you will need for planning your trip, including listing times of the year that are the least and most crowded, even the average weather. It gives a general overview of each attraction and dining facility, as well as area maps. My family and I have planned 2 trips in the past by the Birnbaum's Walt Disney books!
