Guidebooks
I've seen a lot of books available online with info and inside tips for WDW. I don't want to go out and buy them all... so which ones are the best. I'm looking for a good general WDW book and a book for WDW with kids. TIA

Re: Guidebooks
I second (and third) Bella's suggestion. Seriously- the Unofficial Guide is the best.

What Bella said. If you can hold on a couple of weeks, I am almost done with my 2009 Unofficial Guide. I would happily send it to you!

Re: Guidebooks
I agree with everyone else - The Unofficial is the only way to go - it'll give you ALL the information you could ever want or think of - BUT - it's a big book and it's heavy - you'll want to read it before you leave. It's not the kind of a book to lug around the parks.

Re: Guidebooks
My fav is The Complete Walt Disney World by Julie and Mike Neal
They visited Walt Disney World 700x in 5 years while writing the book! We it! Plus it's small enough to pack and carry! |

Re: Guidebooks
We like the PassPorter for complete information. We don't always agree with their reviews, but it has a ton of info.
