I was an odd kid for a variety of reasons, but among the strangest little things about me was my love for this book. I would read it over and over. The writing style was witty, honest, and funny. Plus I always loved Disney World, particularly its largeness. At nine/ten years old, it seemed like another dimension altogether.

Anyway, this book is obviously eighteen years out of date now, so I would not recommend using this particular edition for your next WDW trip, but at the time it was marvelous. My parents consulted it for several years before it was way too outdated to be useful any longer.
