I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone planning to visit Disney World. I received my book just days ago, but have been enjoying it along with other members of my family. But I knew I would love it even before I got it, because, I had read a previous version of the authors Disney World guide about seven years ago. We followed her tips for the Magic Kingdom, Epcot and MGM and had a marvelous time. Following her tips made our trip a real time to remember-it saved us time, saved us stress and probably saved us money. All I can say is if you tackle Disney World with your kids without reading this book and using its well thought out tips, you will be sorry! Excellent, excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic--a must have if you have young children, October 12, 1999

I love this book! I had an earlier version and I couldn't wait for the new edition which includes the Animal Kingdom. The book helps me decide which rides are appropriate for children of each age group. We saved a lot of time on our last trip to WDW by not spending time in lines for rides which our children would not appreciate or rides which might scare our children. A "must have".

I wasn't too psyched up about taking the kids to Disney World - a family duty, right? Fortunately, we got our hands on a copy of this book a week before we went. Kim Wright Wiley gives good practical advice on how to cut down your time waiting in line, which rides to do first, and how to avoid the crowds. Even though we were there on spring break, we saw a lot of stuff. My only regret was we didn't get the book in time to take her advice on hotels and what time of year to go! Next time - yeah, I'm a convert - we'll buy the book before we plan the trip.
