Fodor’s Walt Disney World® with Kids, 2010 Edition

Entering its 20th edition, Fodor’s Walt Disney World with Kids delivers the definitive but always-easy-to-access advice of former Disney Magazine contributing editor Kim Wright Wiley, who has logged more than 50 visits to the parks both as a keen-eyed journalist and as a parent. Every family needs her tips and insider knowledge to make the most of a trip to Walt Disney World.
Wiley not only rates attractions and rides based on their age-related suitability and scare factor but also incorporates feedback from hundreds of families who, like her, have not-so-tirelessly field tested it all. Inside readers will find: 

-Everything a family needs to choose the right hotel, including driving times to the parks from each property

-Full ratings as well as quick-reference charts for the most kid-pleasing rides and restaurants 

-Must-see attraction checklists geared to young kids, preteens, and teens

-Time-saving tips, such as how to avoid crowds and lines at the park

-Insider secrets and the skinny on "Hidden Mickeys"

-Cautionary tales and success stories from parents about their park experiences

-Convenient maps of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios

This review is from: Fodor's Walt Disney World® with Kids 2010: with Universal Orlando and SeaWorld (Travel Guide) (Paperback)

The 2008 edition of the book was our BIBLE for the trip my husband, our 8-year old son, and I took in October of 2008. I relied on it for everything -- whether to buy the meal plan and at what level, fast pass tips, restaurant suggestions, money-saving tips, age-appropriateness of rides, etc. Before our departure, I sat down with the book and planned our itinerary, which turned out perfectly and saved us from wasting lots of time and money. Upon our return, I e-mailed Ms. Wiley to let her know about our trip and our impressions of rides, our hotel, the shuttle service, etc. She e-mailed back immediately, requesting additional information, which she incorporated into the 2009 edition.

Well worth your money! A must-read before any trip to Disney with children! We are headed to D.C. this year, and I wish Ms. Wiley had written the Fodor's guide to D.C., as well!

The author of this book is a genius! Her insight is invaluable. We bought her 2006 book for our last trip and we credit the success of our vacation to this book and its spot-on advice. I can see that the 2010 version is just as exceptional, with lots of new updates. A must-have purchase if you're traveling to Disney with little kids!
