Product Description
"Should leave fans of Mickey smiling from ear to ear." -- Chicago Tribune
"A thorough overview, with inside tips, facts and quizzes. With more than 400 color photos, it also makes a nice souvenir." -- Boston Globe
"May be the most colorful, visually stunning and deeply researched guidebook on the market. A warm, loving portrait of Disney World, for people who want to love Disney World." -- Orlando Sentinel
"Endless tips and trivia." -- Knoxville News-Sentinel
"There are dozens of guides to Disney World, but I like this updated one by a husband-and-wife team who visited Disney World more than 700 times. They're not affiliated with Disney, but received much inside access by the company to provide very detailed descriptions of each ride, show and attraction. Among the gems are fun facts, suggested itineraries and little things to look for." -- Florida Times Union
"Offers an in-depth history of the attractions and the parks themselves… and the most in-depth run-down of the two Disney water parks." -- Budget Travel
"A must read for any Disney World fan. The best of the best hands down." -- explorethemagic.com
"A great book. Extraordinary details. Beautiful photos." -- mouseextra.com
Book Description
Headed to Walt Disney World? If so, you'll be delighted with this new full-color guidebook. Filled with hundreds of photographs, well organized and absolutely packed with fun information, it makes a strong case to be, as its cover proclaims, "The Definitive Disney Handbook."
So numerous they seem to spill off the pages, the gorgeous photos alone put this book at the top of the Disney pack. From fireworks and parades to stock cars and surfers, if it's at Disney you see it here. But what really sets this book apart is its coverage of Disney's theme parks, water parks and other entertainment options. Packed with more pure information than probably any other Disney guide ever published, "The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World" offers a thorough description, story line, back story, specifications, tips, Fun Finds and Fun Facts for every Disney attraction. The authors obviously had great access: many Disney designers and engineers are quoted and some photos were taken backstage.
Extra touches are everywhere. Sprinkled throughout the book are features on Disney architecture, ride technology, monorails, swimming pools and much more. There's an animal guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom and a separate section just on Christmas.
The book is designed so it's easy to track down just what you're looking for. The main chapters are color-coded and divided into clearly marked sections. For the theme parks, each attraction is on its own page -- or often, pages. Shopping sections are organized first by category -- apparel, art, books -- and then by store. There's a full index and, on the back page, a phone directory.
From the Back Cover
Walt Disney World gives you a choice of 168 rides and attractions, 81 live performances, 104 recreational activities, 179 places to eat, 197 shops and 29 resorts -- all spread out over 47 square miles. Overwhelming? Not any more. Filled with the most detailed information ever published about Disney World, this full-color guide combines a thorough description of everything Disney has to offer with a cornucopia of advice, insight and tips to help you enjoy it. In other words, it's a handbook on how to have fun. Also included: over 1,000 fun finds and facts, dozens of secrets, quizzes, Hidden Mickeys and over 400 color photos.

Perfect for new and old visitors to WDW!!!, 2008-06-19
This is current and up to date information on the rides at WDW. It is in depth descriptions for those who need to know every last little turn and drop on all the rides, not just the popular ones. Would definitely say everyone should have this whether it's your first or hundredth trip to Disney!!

walt disney world, 2008-06-04
My family is going to Disney next June. I wanted a book that would give me information on everything. Love this book.. it tells you what is a good time to go on a ride, tells you whether it is scary for pre-schoolers. It is an amazing book, plus has so many wonderful pictures.

The best all inclusive Disney book there is!, 2008-06-01
This book would be a great read even if you don't have a trip to WDW coming up! I am a huge Disney fan and have been known to buy guidebooks just to read and keep myself updated on the changes and such. This book can truly stand alone and is so much more than a helpful planning guide! Little unknown facts and figures, interesting stories along with all of basic information that is essential in planning an enjoyable trip to WDW all in one neat little package! The pictures are incredible too! It does have a lot of information so order it well in advance of your trip! This is definitely one for the list of "must haves" if you are about to travel to WDW for your first time!

 great buy!, 2008-03-19
We have always used the Unofficial guide but discovered the Complete WDW just recently. This book has a myriad of awesome colorful pictures--here's what WDW looks like! The only drawback is that, unlike the Unofficial guide, this book doesn't ever criticize WDW or give actual reader input.
Bottom line: it's worth the money. WDW lovers will read and reread the book!

Disney in Detail, 2007-11-05
I purchased this book right before a fall trip to Disney World with my 3 teenagers, and it was the best thing I did. A lot of detailed information about restaurants and tips on where to get good snacks was right on target. We were able to find some wonderful out-of-the-way places to eat for a good value while in the parks that we may not have stumbled upon on our own. The book also recommends various attractions by placing a check mark next to them, which helps plan your day if you are trying to make the most of your time. Overall, this is an excellent book with exceptional insights.
