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.

August 29, 2009: TREMENDOUS, for the first time goer! However, if you've been before, this might be an unnecessary purchase. Easy to read, very informative, but not a page-turner, as the Mystery Critics say!
I Also Recommend: Hidden Mickeys.

August 23, 2009: This book saved us hours of waiting in line. I carried a small backpack so that I could read extra details about the ride while in line. The extra tidbits of history and humor increased my appreciation of each ride.
