5.0 out of 5 stars Great information, for couples or singles!, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Walt Disney World for Couples 1999-2000 : With or Without Kids (Paperback)

The Perlmutters have compiled an astonishing amount of useful information in this book - most of which is as applicable to families or single travellers as it is to couples. Lots of little, out-of-the-way sights are described, things you'd never otherwise know to look for. The descriptions of the Disney resorts are especially thorough -- this is the only guidebook I've seen so far that has MAPS of each resort!

If there's a fault to this book, it's that the authors seem to love absolutely EVERYTHING they find at WDW - their most scathing restaurant reviews say mildly, "Well, this wasn't to our taste." But the descriptions of everything are thorough enough that you should be able to decide for yourself whether any given item is something you would like. And frankly, I think the Perlmutters' reactions to Disney are closer to my own honest reactions than any of the guidebooks that go out of their way to find fault.

I have purchased 5 WDW books and this is my very favorite. From the way it is set up to the enormous amount of detailed information...it is a must have for couples going to WDW.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book made our trip to Disney World a success!, October 2, 2000

This review is from: Walt Disney World for Couples, 2000-2001: With or Without Kids (Paperback)

Although we weren't at Disney World as newlyweds or on a romantic getaway (we took 2 teens and 2 adult children with us), the informative articles in this book about the hotels, restaurants and attractions helped our family plan a very successful trip to Disney World.

We had purchased 5 different guides to Walt Disney World, but found ourselves referring back to this one the most. After we got home, we re-looked at the descriptions and found the Perlmutter's were the most accurate and honest.

I highly recommend it and will get an updated version when we travel to Walt Disney World again.
