3.0 out of 5 stars POSSIBLY A GOOD ADJUNCT BOOK...., November 15, 2000

In general, I think this book might be helpful to give to older kid in preparation to a Trip to Disney. But, and it's a big but, I think most of the material is a re-hash of material available in Birnbaum's regular Disney book. I think that a trip to disney is expensive enough without thinking you NEED , yet, another "official" book. Birnbaum books are the official dinsey books and as such really spout the Disney propaganda. It is somewhat hard to feel that I got a balanced view of disney from these books, so I always buy "the unnoficial guide" as well. This year I decided to buy this book for my son... for some pre-disney excitement and to read on the plane. But I really think that this would be the only reason to buy it. The information is available in other books and this is a book that could really be skipped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Birnbaum's Walt Disney World For Kids By Kids, January 17, 2001

A friend showed me this book after returning from Disney. I found it to be very helpful and am ordering one for our family. The book tells what you need to know about the ride before you put them on it. That allows me to know whether or not a ride is too scary, rough or dark. That information is very helpful. My daughter is only 5, and she enjoyed looking at it with us. I think it is a must before you go to Disney World. It also has a section in the back for autographs and lots of helpful hints.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just the thing to involve the kids, December 31, 2000

This review is from: Birnbaum's 2001 Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids (Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids By Kids, 2001) (Paperback)

Let's keep in mind that this book is for KIDS==as such, it doesn't have much information that an adult can't find in the regular Birnbaum. However, I bought the 2000 edition for my then-7 year old, and she really enjoyed looking through it for our last trip. Now with another trip planned, I bought her the 2001 edition, and she gave the old one to her younger sister! We want to plan these trips as a family and these books keep her well-versed and knowledgable in what she wants to do and what might be fun for the younger siblings. She would probably give it the full 5 stars!
