This book was a huge help in planning our upcoming holiday trip to WDW with the family (18 of us!). Lots of tips and strategies for maximizing time and reducing the waiting in long lines for rides, and great descriptions of all the resorts and park amenities. We have been to WDW several times over the years, but the new info gleaned from this book was invaluable.

We are heading to Walt Disney World at the end of January 2015 and have been working with a travel agent to plan our trip. Even though much of our planning has already been done I still found this book helpful in understanding how things have changed in the three years since we were at Disney last.
Walt Disney World can be very overwhelming in the number of choices that need to be made before you even arrive in order to have a pleasant stay. This can be tricky even if you haven't been there before but nearly impossible if you have no idea what hotels or travel around the Orlando area can be like. The Fodor's 2015 book breaks down each choice into manageable options and describes things well enough that people should be able to feel comfortable with their decision. I absolutely LOVE the simple lists that break down hotels, restaurants, and attractions in an easy to compare format.
Although this information is available online and through a travel agent, it is nice to have it all gathered in one place and in a grab and go format. I know I can find the list of rides that have height restrictions online but I have to hunt for it every time. Fodor's provided it on one page of this book. I also love the lists of rides that have Fast Pass available in each park, although I did notice that the Frozen Sing A Long is missing from the list for Hollywood Studios. There was also no mention of Wandering Oaken's Frozen Snowground but this may be only a temporary attraction.
I also appreciated the chapters on other Orlando attractions including both of the Universal Studios parks and Sea World. We have always been Disney people but have tossed around the idea of adding Universal Studios to a trip at some point. Now I can tell we want to wait until the kids are older for that.
Overall Fodor's Walt Disney World with Kids 2015 is a great resource for both new and seasoned Disney planners. I would recommend this book even if you are working with a travel agent because it will give you a better handle on how to navigate the World for a truly magical time.
