From Library Journal
Smith, a columnist at the Orlando Sentinel and an editor of Florida Retirement Lifestyles, has compiled a gold mine of information about Walt Disney World and other tourist attractions in central Florida that is helpful to travelers of all ages. One realizes the gigantic scope of Disney World; it now includes the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disney MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Discovery Island, Downtown Disney, and more. Although Smith maintains that this work was not officially approved by Disney, it reads like a public relations manual. And in spite of the title, Smith fails to show just why Disney World would be attractive to seniors: the parks offer no senior discounts, and discounts at the hotels are "sporadic." The book's value to seniors lies in Smith's descriptions of the rides and attractions, detailing each ride's movements and what ages enjoy them. Also included is a long and helpful list of telephone numbers, addresses, web sites, and e-mail addresses that travelers can use to get more information.AMelinda Stivers Leach, Precision Editorial Svcs., Wondervu, CO
