5.0 out of 5 stars Gets better every year, October 6, 2004

By 

Marian Graham "Disney fan and mother of three" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World® and Universal Orlando® with Kids 2005 (Travel with Kids) (Paperback)

I've bought two earlier versions of this book and find it to be clearly written and full of helpful tips. My family (kids age 4, 7, and 11)relies on the author's advice, especially in the areas of hotel selection and which rides are most appropriate for kids in each age group. This new version of the book has a good deal of what seems to be new or updated material, but also keeps the friendly writing style. This book is much easier to read and funnier than your typical guidebook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Guide--Well Organized, April 4, 2005

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World® and Universal Orlando® with Kids 2005 (Travel with Kids) (Paperback)

This book is very good. It really helps you organize your trip so that you and your family will enjoy your trip as much as possible. You can tell the author has had a lot of experience with kids at Disney.

There all kinds of really helpful tips -- I wish we had this before we went to Disneyworld last time.

A word of caution: Disneyworld's attractions change a lot, and this book is already a little dated. For example, it mentions nothing about Disney's new Magic express airport transportation...which can make a big difference as to whether you need a rental car, etc.

I would also suggest that the book have pull out maps, that have more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maximize Your Fun!, April 10, 2005

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World® and Universal Orlando® with Kids 2005 (Travel with Kids) (Paperback)

If you want to maximize the time you and your kids spend at the right attractions, read Wiley's witty, efficient, and eloquent guide. Makes you want to be there as soon as possible to experience all the fun. Everytime my three kids and I venture to the land of Mickey Mouse and Jurassic Park, I make sure to peruse this guide and stuff it in my backpack for on-site reference. While her style is laid-back, the tips ensure a hassel-free vacation.
