This was our first time in Disney with the kids and this book was a valuable resource. We loved the tips, the maps and the recommendations. From our experience Ms. Wiley was "on the nose" when it comes to recommending rides for the ager groups our children were belong to (two and four AND A HALF!!!!).

I've even showed it to friends who go to Disney every year and they found it helpful.

Most helpful for general planning, understanding the parks layouts and options and deciding which Disney add-ons to buy (dining plan,etc.) Wish it had itinieraries! Doesn't include the newest dining plan options or go into much depth about the on-site resorts- focuses on higher end ones.

Book #7 for 2012. - Very helpful guide for planning a Disney World vacation.

Can't wait to go!

I cannot believe you need to read a book to surive Disney World, but I'm glad I did. Very helpful and informative!
