Customer Reviews

Worth every penny
This book is fantastic - I bought it in 2003 when we visited as a party of 7 in August - we followed the plans exactly and we didn't queue for more than 10 minutes! With 3 kids plus the grandparents this was great. We are going again and I will be buying the up to date edition to catch up on new developments and changes. The amount of research that goes into these books is phenominal and it is worth it's weight in gold to anyone visiting Orlando.
