A great way to navigate the maze of Disney World with your kids in tow. Wiley never misses a trick, the lines, the food, the fun, the entire park experience. NEVER get in your car on on a plane to Disney World without this book in your hand. It's a must.

It is obvious that the author has spent a lot of time inside the Orlando theme parks and really knows what she's talking about. Plus, it is written from a parent's point of view so everything families need for know, like the ride height restrictions, are included. This guidebook is an excellent resource for families planning to visit the Orlando theme parks.

We started using Wiley's WDW with kids when our child was young, and it's as good as ever. The author always includes the latest information, so it's a useful guide whether you're a WDW veteran or rookie.

Full of great money-saving ideas. Kim's books have always give extensive coverage of the parks, and this edition covers all of the changes and new projects that have just opened. Well worth the money.

We used the 2007 edition last summer and the book was fairly useful. One of the biggest selling points were the breakdown of the rides. This goes for both the overview(scary or not ?) and the charts that break out height requirements. We did find some information to be seriously outdated(note to editors before heading to press). That said, the book - in combination with Disney podcasts and online communities - prepared us to get the most out of our family's WDW vacation.

with the kids. But just in case you're looking to get away from Disney (and the kids too), check out this travel guide Real Florida: A Travel Guide for the Passionate Yet Practical (The Budget Romance Traveler series). It does a pretty good job of pointing out excellent places to visit in Florida outside Orlando's resort world. Like Micanopy and Cedar Key, for instance.

There was nothing particularly unique about this book - no real noteworthy tips on where to go with little ones - what rides to avoid - height restrictions would have been great. I was looking for a book that was really geared toward taking a toddler or young child to disney and this book was just a little too generic.

I love this book! It is the best book for traveling to Disney World with children. We have traveled to Disney World every year since my son was 17 months old. My youngest took her first trip at 9 months old. I could not have planned so well without this book. My kids are now 6 years old and almost 4 years old and we have bought this book 4 times. It really helps to break down each restaurant and attraction based on price, atmosphere and how kid-friendly it is. Great book!

I found the reviews and comparison charts very helpful in selecting our hotel and restaurants. The "insiders tips" were also very insightful. I relied on other guides to provide more detail about the parks and attractions, however.

This is our first trip to Disney in a very long time, and the first time with kids (age 6). This book provides wonderful tips, and information for families. I went through the book onces and just marked pages I wanted to come back and reread. I've now highlighted all sorts of tips to use when we go. Highly recommended
