Review
The Guidebook everyone is talking about! "This guidebook is the greatest! It saved us $50 per day in meals alone. Rita Aero made a perfect vacation come true." --Maria Cole, Winchester Virginia "In the bookstore, faced with many guidebook choices, I was confused as to which to pick. Fortunately, I chose Rita Aero's. A whole world opened up after reading this book." --Alicia White, Cleveland, Ohio "We saved $600 on our last trip. Thank you!" --Debby Lloyd, United Kingdom "As a professional travel agent specializing in Orlando vacations, I advise all my clients to purchase Aero's guidebook. It is an invaluable planning tool with the most accurate information." --Nanci Rossetti, Forest City, Pennsylvania "I have learned how to procure great discounts, find the perfect resort, eat some of the greatest meals, and plan the best Disney vacation guide possible with the help of Rita Aero's Walt Disney World guide." --Jen Ducey, North Webster, Indiana "All of the secret, insider tops on what to see and how to tour the parks are priceless. We would have missed so many magical moment the parks if it had not been for this book. Thanks a million, Rita!" --Mark Vance, Sussex, Wisconsin "I bought the Aero guidebook because it looked cool; since then it has become my Walt Disney World bible. It doesn't turn you into a theme park commando, like the other books insist on. It allows you to create the vacation that works for you." --Pamela Kowzan, Greensboro, North Carolina "I shudder to think what planning a Walt Disney World vacation would be like without this book." --Ramona Pinter, Daytona Beach, Florida "Endless tips, money-saving ideas, and a good read...a great book!" --Gennie Ballard, Whitmore Lake, Michigan "There is so much information that other guidebooks do not include. The attention to detail is marvelous. The best part of this guide is the password to the Readers Clubhouse! This is simply the most wonderful Web site on the Internet." --Sharon MArtin, Wixom, Michigan -- Review

5.0 out of 5 stars "Amazing" could be altered to "Remarkable"...., May 29, 2000
By Y Payne (Southern Ohio) - See all my reviews
I own Rita's 3rd edition from 2 years back. She has surpassed the previous edition by far. Disney changes at the speed of light and all the information could never be captured and published in a book. However, Rita has organized the most up to date information in an easy to follow format that anyone could use. Her guidebook is clear..has a great rating system (E.A.R.S awards)..and is packed with exciting tips that even the most Disney conscientious explorer could overlook! What isn't depicted in the book is carried over onto the connected website. Her website is another great source for more Disney info and general camaraderie.

A must buy book for any Disney World lover...!

5.0 out of 5 stars It got even better!, October 16, 2000
By Valerie Holcomb (South Bend, Indiana) - See all my reviews
I thought nothing could top Rita Aero's previous guides, but her most recent edition did just that. Unlike Birnbaums and Sehlingers guides, which remain the same year after boring year, Aero's newest guide is completely new and fresh!

She threw out all the old star ratings and replaced them with clever EARS awards. Apparently she gathered the top Disney experts and formed a panel much like the Academy Awards, except they vote on the best attractions, hotels, restaurants, etc. The emotional age ratings are also completely new and expanded from the previous 4 icons to an intuitive gradient type system. Birnbaums has no ratings at all and Sehlingers ratings never seem to change.

The book's navigation is all new with easy-to-find self indexing tabs. The reviews are completely rewritten into columnar formatting. I didn't care much for the way the text used to span the entire page, so this is a very welcomed improvement. I also LOVE the new charts and maps! There are so many new cool features to write about, but I'm preparing for our next trip to WDW, so I should stop before I write virtual reams.

Oh, I almost forgot, her website has already saved me nearly $900 on my upcoming trip! The online community there is the absolute best!
