I bought this as one of three books to prepare for our Disney trip. I love all things Disney so it was fun to read a travel guide written by a Disney fanatic. Here are the highlights of this guide:

The MAPS: these are the best WDW maps that I have come across for planning your schedule! They are detailed but not convoluted, and seem to be much more drawn to scale than Disney's own maps that you can order customized from the website.

The REVIEWS: she includes reviews of every eatery and attraction including a rating from herself, her husband, and her readers. She also includes comments from her teenager, tween, and toddler about some attractions!

The PICTURES: unlike other travel guides, she includes candid photos of the snapshot variety (from her own trips and probably from readers) and the pics are in full color. The pics really give you a more personal feel than the typical travel guide glossy photos or no photos (as in one of my guidebooks).

The DETAILS: she really seems to leave no stone unturned, like which specific rooms in each resort have the best views!

While I enjoyed all three of my Disney travel guides, this is my favorite. If you can only buy one, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!

This would be a great first-time planning guide for families from out-of-state who are making Disney World their vacation destination, and are planning on spending the majority of their time on Disney property. Great for planning an itinerary and budget, right down to accommodations and meal planning. Has lots of little pockets for storing tickets, reservation confirmations and receipts. I don't think Florida residents who have been to WDW multiple times would find this book very useful.

Passporter's WDW book is a great organizer and planner. Although I visit Disney almost every year, I still like to keep up-to-date with its many changes. So for my 2009 Disney vacation, I purchased several new Disney World guidebooks. Ultimately, I found that my favorite guides were Passporter's and The Healthy Guide to Walt Disney World 2009: How to Eat Right and Stay Fit in Disney - The NEW Diet, Dining, Food, Fitness and Complete Weight Loss Book.

Passporter's Disney guide includes great mapping details, abundant general Disney info and a helpful journal. Well organized and easy to read, any Disney guest will benefit from its vast contents. It also contains clear, concise reviews and straighforward planning tips.

As I also like to maintain a healthy lifestlye while traveling, The 2009 Healthy Guide to WDW was very beneficial. A popular book within the Disney community, The Healthy Guide was best at updating me in the areas of 2009 Disney Dining, ADR's, menus, diet and fitness options.

Concurring with many Disney fans, I agree that authors Jennifer Marx (Passporter's) and Dan Green (Healthy Guide) have written the two best guides to assist guests on their Walt Disney World vacation in 2009.

We go to Disney every year...and every year I buy this book! I love how it's a resource, organizer and journal all in one. I usually take all my other park books to Half-price books afterward, but not this one! I have rows of them on my bookshelves. I sometimes go back to see what we've done and what we thought of certain restaurants.

The authors did an excellent job! It's WELL worth the money!!

Passporter is really the best of the Walt Disney World guide books. It has all the information that you really need, without a lot of extraneous material, organized in a manner that will greatly facilitate your visit. People sometimes don't consider it because it doesn't have a lot of colorful pictures. It has what you need. It is direct and to the point. It has excellent planning and trip recording sections.
If you are looking for a practical guide book, this is the one to get.

I love this thing! It was informative, handy, helpful, and creative. The book helped us plan our travel and make responsible decisions before we arrived at Disneyworld. The only thing that would make it better would be if the book had discount coupons in it!

Love this book! Excellent compact guidebook to take on your trip to
WDW. Pockets are a terrific feature to keep you organized!

I bought this on a recommendation--and I loved it! Very informative and helpful to navigate the Disney parks and food options!

This is one must-have for Disney Vacation Planning. Its got a wonderful way of listing all the attractions and reviews. The maps could be slightly better though..a little bit bigger maybe.
The Yellow journal pages are great and the pockets to keep tidbits is a brilliant idea... especially for someone like me who likes to save every tiny scrap of memory.

I ordered the PassPorter's Walt Disney World, as well as a few other titles without much thought for a planned trip in February. This one book is pretty much all you need. It has tools to help you easily and simply plan your entire trip. The hotels are reviewed each one on a couple of pages, complete with photos, pros and cons... There is a section for each resort with details on all the rides, shows... A fold out map that has all the attractions listed on the back so you can check the ones you want to see. It even has little pockets in the back to store your confirmations, all the stuff Disney sends you... Buy this and you will not regret it or even need any of the other guides. They also have guides for other places too. I am sold on this product.
