Review
"If you think there's nothing more for the well-traveled Thrillseeker to learn about Central Florida, think again. . . .The opening chapter outlines some pertinent stats for the serious vacation planner: monthly hotel occupancy rates; local park attendance figures; seasonal temperatures and rainfall levels. . . .There are also informative discussions of the highways and local routes to major attractions, value passes, discount coupons and ticket brokers. Finally, he offers a few tips for avoiding some rare but potential ticketing scams. Then it's on to the good stuff. Chapters Two through Ten take us step-be-step through every nook and cranny of the area's major attractions. . . .These chapters are loaded with unexpected hints for a stress-free visit. If Chapter Ten was the end of it I'd need nothing more to recommend this book. But there's still plenty to come. . . Even for those few out there who are intimately familiar with Orlando's unparalleled entertainment cornucopia, I'd still insist this is a book worth owning. Written with a relaxed conversational style, it's a pleasure to read: informed, humorous and opinionated." -- The Thrill Ride! Bookshelf, January 12, 1998
