 Let down by inaccurate refences on touring plan summaries March 26, 2000

I last used this book in 1996. The most helpful section was by far the pocket outline touring plans at the back which I cut out and used as a guide when touring the park. This saved a considerable amount of time and added immeasurably to my family's enjoyment of our visit. As I am going to Disneyland again in May I recently bought the 2000 edition. Whilst the general content of the book was of a similar high standard to the 1996 version when I studied the pocket outline version of the touring plans I found that on comparing the numbers on the touring plan maps with the narrative underneath and the main map on page 106, there were numerous errors. These are on such a scale as to render the touring plan maps useless without amendment, which I have had to do in manuscript. The 'best' examples of the errors can be found on pages 251 and 253. Having paid for this publication I am very disappointed that such a potentially excellent book has been severley tarnished by what is probably sloppy editing.
amazed at the time we saved by following touring guides!!!! May 25, 1999

over and over again on our 5 day visit to wdw we were amazed at the accuracy of this book!!! we didn't necessarily follow the touring guides to the letter, but we used alot of the advise from them, e.g. where to sit in certain shows for first exit. the tips were terrific, especially for disney-mgm. my family went for the 3rd week of may and it was great. we stayed at the carribean beach and took avantage of early entry on all of our 5 days. what a great perk that is!!! well worth getting up early. by 12 noon or so we left for a swim and sometimes a nap. then went back to the same or a different park around dinner time. our second day at epcot, someone gave us a pocket computer they are testing for that park. it sends messages a few minutes before certain shows and tell you how to get to them. it sends the name of restaurants at lunch time. it has a map. it can also tell you the approximate wait times for all the attractions around that park!!! it clipped to my husbands belt and was fun to use. they were giving alot of them out to all the people around us but didn't say when or if they'd be available to everyone soon. anyway, we used the mini mickey guide for 2 mos before our trip and carried it with us everyday and we are so glad we did. we think it made a huge difference in the times we waited for attractions, to where we ate our meals to what we really couldn'd miss. we know we didn't see everything there is to see at wdw, but we were very satisfied that we did as much as we possibly could in 5 days without running ourselves, and our 2 kids, ragged. we are convinced we could not have done or seen all we did without this guide.
 Book is right on most subjects. April 29, 1999

We went to Florida this past Easter week and all and all enjoyed it. We stayed in the park at Dixie Landings which let us go to parks earlier than the general public. You want to go early as the guide states then eat or take a break and go again in the evening when other people are going home. The buses are really user friendly and run quite often. I doubt if we waited 15 min going to park and 20 min back to hotel. Eating at the food court was inexpensive compared to eating in the parks. The Disney store at downtown disney has the biggest selection and if you have a Magic Kingdom Club card they take off 10% and that is a savings if you get $300.00+ worth of souveneers.I wish I could go a second time now that I have the learning curve down. They really move giant crowds quite well. The parks, roads everything are so clean and you never see anyone working. Do what the guide says and you will do alright.
It's Grrrrreat!! January 11, 1999

This book was fun to read, and very informative. I am 11, and have never been to Disneyland, but after reading this book, I feel like I have already been there 1,000,000 times. We are going over February break, and staying at the Disneyland Hotel. This book covers everything there possibly is to know about Disneyland, including: Hotels, rated and ranked, how to get there, getting oriented, all the attractions are rated according to age level, with things like name, size, scope and scale, special comments, loading speed, assumes, and how long the wait will be, as well as description, comments, touring tips, and when to go, kid tips, when to go, touring plans, food ideas, transportation, what to look for in a hotel room, and also a special section about Universal Studios Hollywood.
