Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!false advertizing
Review: I bought the first Rita Aero book in 2000 and loved it I especially loved the website. IT was informative and good reading. SO I got itfor my trip in 2003. Well,they would not give you access to the website even though you purchased the book and they claim it makes the book invaluable right in the book. they make a huge point that this is why I should purchase this book over the others. When you try to log on you get a message that the website refuses you access. ...Well fine but don't advertize in your book the website. I will return this book and write the publisher...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Great Guide
Review: I bought this book after reading all the great reviews here on amazon. It was just as good as I had hoped. I love that she rates each attraction according to age categories. This is definitely a good addition to your collection of WDW guides.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: intresting and informative well worth the money
Review: i bought this book for our upcoming trip and i love this book. rita aero has laid out the book in a easy to read and follow design. she evens adds a 2 color design to help insted of the boring black and white. her reviews of the rides and the resturants are informative and easy to read she gives an honest and open idea to things she is very just tell you how it is and let you decide kind of book. i also have the unoffical guide to WDW and i love rita's book by far the best. if you want something other then the "inside offical view" then rita's book is your answer. i found nothing wrong with this book and she even gives info on universal studios and sea world. all in all a great book

Summary: Overly Hyped
Review: I check out a lot of WDW Guidebooks, and this is just another one. There is nothing here that sets the book apart from others. Cute "ears" awards instead of "star" ratings??? Access to there special website with tips on how to smooze a cast member into giving you some knock off discount?? Almost sounds like one of those late-night TV infomercials for a real estate buying course!

If you want real info, what shows to see, rides to skip, Rita's book doesn't give you that. How about all those money saving deals? Well look, any tourist place in Florida has these nifty little racks of flyers and coupons. Way more than are stuck in the back of this book.

This book is not one I would recommend at all. Try the PassPorter guidebook. It WILL show you how to save time, see all the good rides, skip the bad ones, etc.

Don't waste your money on this fluffy book of "Areo'isms". You'd be better off asking Mickey Mouse himself to show you around the park than to follow Rita's advice.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not the best
Review: I decided to have a look at this book after reading all of the rave reviews here. I was surprised to find that it did not live up to it's reputation. I've read several of the Walt Disney World guides and found most of them to be more informative than this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bland and disappointing
Review: I found the information in this guide dated and disappointing, presented in a very bland style. A much better choice, presented in a very easy-to-use format,is: Passporter Walt Disney World Resort 2003: The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal, and Keepsake

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Falls a little short
Review: I had bought an edition of Rita's four years ago. So I decided to buy a newer version for my trip this year. However, there seems to be less information than in the older one! Many things are glossed over and require using the older version to refer to in order to complete the picture. The book also promises a great website, however, when I went to the url listed in the book, there was no website! :(

All in all I prefer to use Birnbaum's coupled with the Disney Magazine in order to keep up to date. If you've visited WDW before, you won't find anything useful in this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Rita's Book not the best out there
Review: I have 4 Disney guides, Passporter, Birnbaums, Unofficial and Rita Aero's. Of the 4 her's was a great disappointment. It did not have the detailed information the other three had and was difficult to follow. I would not recommend this book to a friend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good for WDW vets
Review: I have been to WDW many times over the years. I was surprised by the wealth of information in this book. It helped me plan a very memorable birthday trip for my husband and I. Up to date information can also be found on her on-line community. Her book was the most up to date of all that I looked at.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: see attached note;
Review: I have not read the book, and don't know the author, but I was looking to buy a guide to Disney World and did wish to direct Amazon's attention to the reviews. I've been checking your site a long time and rarely have I seen such breathless raves without details; they just don't "sound" right. I don't know how you handle such things but all I conclude from about nine of the 11 reviews is that the author must have a lot of friends!
