This review is from: Birnbaum's 99 Walt Disney World: Expert Advice from the Inside Source (Birnbaum's Walt Disney World) (Paperback)

I first used Birnbaum's guide to WDW for a 1994 vacation and have purchased the book every year since then just to keep up with any changes made to the resort. For the average person wishing to haul their family across the country to the world's favorite tourist spot, Walt Disney World is extremely overwhelming and I've spoken with many who didn't really enjoy their experience. Each of those situations could have been avoided with the use of this book. It includes every piece of information one could possibly need to know for a few days in Orlando and then some - anything to the general weather conditions, park crowds, Disney resort hotels as well as other hotels, and even blow-by-blow synopses of each show, ride, and attraction that Disney has to offer. After my visit in 1994 and on subsequent visits, I have found most of the information laid out in the Guide to be accurate and very helpful. If it sounds like a glowing review of Disney World or just a paid advertisement, perhaps it's because WDW really is a "practically perfect" place to take a family vacation!

I have been using the Birnbaum WDW books since 1995 and have always found them to be filled with accurate information. I plan our family trips totally around this book and it has proved to save us a lot of hassle and frustrations. From what the weather will be like, to what to expect in a ride, to where to find the Characters and where to share a meal with them, this book has it all. It offers a whole variety of information. I cannot stress enough how awesome this book really is. I am waiting on the Birnbaum 2000 as we have a vacation planned for Christmas '99. Disney World is a family favorite and I am so glad I have the Birnbaum Book to help me plan the most magical vacation possible every time we go! Remember too, it is the "Official Guide." There are other books out there but NONE compare to this one. If you are planning a WDW trip, don't make the mistake of doing it without Steve Birnbaum!
