Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids 2008 [Paperback]

Birnbaum Travel Guides (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 1 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids

Children are perhaps Walt Disney World’s biggest fans. On playgrounds and in classrooms, there’s always excited talk about who went to Walt Disney World and what they did each day—or minute. It has become almost a rite of passage to visit America’s most popular travel destination, and kids can be wonderful sources of information. Our book is written specifically for children, who range in age from 8 to 14.

Every area and attraction of Walt Disney World is covered, with kids’ honest reactions and impressions included. There is a whole chapter devoted to each of the theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, the Disney-MGM Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Another chapter describes the rest of Walt Disney World, including Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Fort Wilderness, Downtown Disney, and dining spots with kid appeal.

The book is updated annually, and the 2008 edition features an expanded scrapbook section for kids to preserve the magical memories of their trip to WDW, as well as a handy guide to the Magic Kingdom's new Princess and Pirate parties. We’ve also included more tips on finding Hidden Mickeys at Walt Disney World!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for a young teen, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids 2008 (Paperback)

I bought this book for my very young grandson to give him an idea of what to expect when taking our trip to Disney. This book was much too old for him and might work well for the 8 to 12/13 age group. It doesn't contain a lot and I cannot see older children carrying this around with them at the parks. Many of them are after the autographs of the characters - this book does have a section for that but I don't believe big enough based on all the autograph books I saw other children with. I wouldn't purchase again even if my grandson were older.

4.0 out of 5 stars a big hit with my four-year-old, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids 2008 (Paperback)

When I looked at the book myself, I wasn't terribly impressed....I had been hoping for more photos, and there are only photos of some of the attractions. However, my four-year-old son has been carrying it around the house for weeks now, having us read things about the attractions to him. He can quote passages in it from memory! I guess I should let him be the judge, since it is his book. He probably would have given it five stars.

Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids 2008 (Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids By Kids)
Bought this to help plan five day vacation at Disney World with son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren (5 and 3). It was fun to read and very very helpful in terms of planning for what to do and where to eat with young children (and what not to do). The kids loved having characters sign the apecial autograph pages. The "kid" comments are from children from about 9 to 14 and were candid and good. They were clear about what was good for their ages as well as what would be better for younger children or just adults.
