This is a nice little guidebook, but there's nothing here specifically for cheapskates. I thought I'd find secrets to getting discounts at Disney. Nope! Their big tip for getting a break on your hotel room -- ask the customer service rep if there are any discounts. I didn't need to buy a book to tell me that.

Sehlinger's guide is MUCH better. It gave me enough information to decide for myself what the best values are.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Cheapskate Ripoff, January 18, 2004

This review is from: The Cheapskate Guide To Walt Disney World «: Time-Saving Techniques and the Best Values in Lodging, Food, and Shopping (Cheapskate's Guide to Walt Disney World) (Paperback)

I bought this book on the pretense that there were a lot of tips on how to save money and time at WDW. However it is filled with no information on either. I already know to ask if there are any special deals on rooms when I call to make reservations. No big blockbuster hidden info there. I found the book to be totally useless and a waste of my money. As a cheapskate I feel totally cheated out of $12.95 + tax. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, no earth-shattering information, April 30, 2004

This is a COMPLETE waste of money. I didn't learn anything from this book that wasn't common sense! It is VERY outdated and apparently is just for people who have been under a rock since WDW was erected. SAVE your money and do NOT buy this book! Buy the WDW Passporter.
