Travel Books

Another important part of doing your research for your vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort is reading up on Disney travel books. A trip to a local bookstore will show you first hand just how many books are dedicated to the Walt Disney World Resort and offer tips and suggestions for your next vacation. These books are extremely helpful when planning your vacation, and below we have listed three of the best and top-selling guides out there that we feel will be instrumental to the planning stages of your trip to Central Florida.

1.  One of the most popular books on the Walt Disney World Resort is released every year in August for the upcoming year, meaning that each book has the most recent and up-to-date information possible about everything at Walt Disney World. Published on August 27, 2007, “The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2008” was written by Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa. This book is great for several reasons. First, the authors offer tested touring plans that can save you up to four hours of standing in lines each day. As if that wasn’t enough to make you want to purchase it, it offers a complete dining guide to Walt Disney World and surrounding dining deals, a complete review of almost 250 area hotels and head-to-head comparisons to the Universal Orlando Resort attractions. And, at a price of $ 19.99, this is a very economical way to save you a lot on your vacation.
2. Another recently published book is “Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World 2008.” This book, written by the Birnbaum Travel Guid and Illustrated by Alex Wright, gives an in-depth vision of the Walt Disney World Resort through tons of color photographs and descriptions of all of the attractions. There are several Birnbaum Disney books published each year, including “Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World for Kids,” “Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World Without Kids” and “Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World Dining Guide 2008.” The only downside is that if you want information on all of these areas, you have to purchase them all to get it! But, with each guide selling for around $ 15 or less, it is an inexpensive way to get great knowledge on each of these areas of the Walt Disney World Resort.
3. If you are looking to get a little more detailed information behind Walt Disney World, you may want to purchase Mike and Julie Neal’s “The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World.” This book, which can be purchased for a little over $ 20, took more than five years and over 700 trips to Walt Disney World for this couple to complete! While you will find all of the basic Walt Disney World information here, including attractions and dining descriptions, this book also goes in-depth, providing you behind-the-scenes knowledge and fun facts that they learned throughout their visits. You will learn about the resort’s secret history, find out over 1,000 “Fun Finds” throughout the parks and even learn about the plot lines behind each attraction. This book also includes over 400 color photographs, six pages of Hidden Mickey’s, a phone directory and even “A kid’s guide to Disney pools.” If you are looking for an intricate look at the Walt Disney World Resort, then this book is just what you were looking for!
