I had to agree with her that it looked intimidating for someone who didn't know the first thing about Disney. She was more interested in the Passporter with the fold out maps and tabs for each heading, so that was what we settled on. She also go the Birnbaum's for kids book for her granddaughter, who was quite excited to thumb through it.

I think I will go hunt out some park maps for her too. She really needs a detailed property map.

I agree about the UG being too much for some first timers, it's huge. The Passporter is smaller and easier to get through. I'm glad she got something, I hate to hear about people going with no plan or information.
