Rating: - Better than last year's, but still very negative...
This year's book didn't have as many mistakes as last year's, but it's still very negative. Does the author even like Walt Disney World? Also, I couldn't disagree more about his opinion to avoid the Magic Kingdom's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I've gone several times and usually it's really crowded on Friday's and the weekend's, because more locals go. I also disagree about avoiding the park that has evening Extra Magic Hours! I have found that, yes, the park is very crowded before the Extra ... Read More

Rating: - Good information and tips presented poorly

Rating: - The best Disney guide, hands down!
I just bought the 2009 version of this guide to plan our November trip to Disney. I used it in 2004 to plan our first trip and it was awesome. Everything it said was right on the money, from the hotel descriptions, advice on room requests, schedules to go by, scariness factors of rides, how to plan your trip... I simply can't say enough. I would definately recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Disney, especially with kids. It is the only book I would use
