Five Great Features and Benefits offered ONLY by The Unofficial Guide:
Reading this massive guidebook to Walt Disney World may take as long as actually visiting the theme park. "Your book reads like the operations plan for an amphibious landing," wrote one quoted reader. The highlights of this tome are the touring plans, which are developed by a computer program calculating average waiting times, ride duration, and time of day, among other factors. These plans help to avoid the "joy" of lengthy lines and crowds during the hottest part of the day. There is extremely detailed information on accommodations, including which rooms to avoid. Restaurant reviews include typical menu items and prices and most crowded times. Wondering whether a small child will be frightened by Snow White's Scary Adventures? Will Expedition Everest make Dad wish he had passed on the chili dog? Don't worry; each attraction is analyzed for fright factor and motion sickness potential. "Unofficial" means that the authors can offer critical assessments of ticket plans and attractions and can also include hotels and restaurants outside of Disney property. Sea World and Universal Studios nearby are also reviewed here thoroughly. Recommended for all public libraries.

November 30, 2008:
After reviewing most of the 2009 WDW guides, I found that the two best guides for 2009 Disney travelers are:
1. The Unofficial Guide to WDW by Bob Sehlinger
2. The 2009 Healthy Guide to WDW by Dan Green.
Both guides are loaded with info, tips and complement each other. The new Healthy Guide to WDW by author Dan Green focuses more on up to date Disney Dining stratgies, ADR's, menus and fitness options inside Disney. The Unofficial Guide is a great updated compilation of the resort, touring plans and parks. Like most other guests in the Disney community, I recommend that you make it simple and just purchase both guides to plan your upcoming 2009 Disney vacation.
