5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Guidebook to make the most of your trip, February 15, 2005

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World®, Universal Orlando®, and Central Florida 2005 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

The 2005 edition adds another 50 pages of info over the previous edition. Hotels, restaurants and admission prices can change rapidly in the area, so it's worthwhile to have the most recent guidebook.
I live in the area and count on the Fodor's to give the detail essential to a successful excursion with our visitors. There is soooo much to see at Disney and around the area that you will miss a lot if you don't have a good guidebook like this. I like the "Strategies" highlights that give the best times to visit certain attractions and the "Need a Break" inserts that clue you into quick, but satisfying snack places.
They also mark in the margin "Fodor's Choice" to help you find some of the best activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice guide book with not so many pages, December 25, 2004

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World®, Universal Orlando®, and Central Florida 2005 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

I have a plan to travel Orlando this winter, and decided to buy a book about Orlando.

There were so many books about Orlando. Some gave very detailed information, but they were very thick and heavy.

The most important information you need for Orlando is which ride to visit, which parades to see, when to visit where, how to order all the attractions.

This book gives all these information about Orlando and light enough to carry during the trip.
