4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for planning trips to WDW, October 9, 1999

By	Timothy T. Sullivan (Suwanee, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have visited Walt Disney World six times over twenty years. For the last few trips, I've bought several travel guides. I find two to be the most useful: the Birnbaum guide and Sehlinger's Unofficial Guide. The Birnbaum book contains up-to-date essential information and is invaluable for choosing hotels, dining experiences and planning your stay. However, I must say that this is not the most objective guide -- you won't find too many critical evaluations here. The latest edition is a big improvement in layout and content over the previous year's version -- it's fun and easy to read, and packed with useful tips. The Unofficial Guide is a far more cynical and critical book -- buy both books and get everything you need for a great time at WDW!

4.0 out of 5 stars A perfect guide to Disney World from an adult point of view!, January 19, 2000

By A Customer

This guide to WDW is invaluable to first time adult visitors and a great refresher course to repeat visitors. Concise and well written, it provides an honest review of attractions, hotels, restaurants and entertainment. Here you'll find how to book a room, a round of golf or a cruise on the lagoon, what's available for room service, which rooms will be the most convenient and quiet, and what kind of weather and crowds to expect. The review of the parks is packed with time and energy-saving tips designed to help adults fully enjoy the experience. It's a little bit larger than pocket size, it's just the right size for a purse. A must for Disney lovers!

2.0 out of 5 stars Go for the BIG Birnbaum guide instead, July 30, 2000

By	Lucy Rogers (Folkston, Ga United States) - See all my reviews

My husband and I visited Disney in 1997 with the assistance of the regular Birnbaum guide. I had been to the resort a number of times (since 1978) prior and found the regular guide very helpful. The "Disney Without Kids" left a lot to be desired. I had hoped for a very detailed listing of restaurants as was found in the regular guide. Instead were a listing of Birnbaum's best bets, many of which we had tried before and found to be OK as far as Disney meals go. If I were planning a trip to Disney, be it with children or not, spend the extra $2 and buy the regular Birnbaum's guide. It was much more informative.
