A good guide but short on luxury
16 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a compulsive buyer of Walt Disney World planning guides--they are my favorite virtual escape from the pressures of real life. So I was really excited when this new guide became available! After a thorough reading, though, I was in the end disappointed. It's very well written and the author displays more knowledge of the travel business than the author of any other WDW guidebook I've read. However, it fails to deliver on the promise of "Luxury" which I hoped to be something to make this book really special. Instead, it thoroughly covers the same ground as many other guides with more of an emphasis on value than on the really high-end opportunities at WDW. This guide failed to capture the magic and excitement of Walt Disney World for me.

There was nothing really luxury about this book
7 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
This book was basically the same as most of the other books on Disney. It is just compiled into one book. This book claims to tell you how to get the most out of your disney vacation and it doesn't do that. Actually the best information I have ever found on Disney and the most up-to-date information was found on All Ears Net dot Com. It has more information than you could find in any book and best of all is free.

Hmm..too general, and too many shill reviews?
18 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
I'm about to visit WDW this fall, and looking to see what is new and interesting in books, this one showed up. However, about half the reviews read like press releases, which gives more importance to the rest of the reviews, which seem to tell a different story. Even when you go to the book's website, you think it would give you at least a few of the high-end bits, such as how useful the all-inclusive packages are, Victoria and Albert dining options, the tours you can take.
After reading the book, it unfortunately tries to be both an all-inclusive book that covers WDW, Universal and Sea World, and a book that points out the luxury options. Since it tries, you must skim through lots of lists on everything, rather than reading opinions of just what are the best options. There are plenty of guidebooks out there that will cover everything - a repeat visitor like me would wish to see more detail of the special stuff. Or for the new visitor, or one in a hurry, start with a quick "what you must see list" for each park," and the best order to see them, that will give the luxury-bound the best value for their time.
The book seems to do a good description of resort rooms, and some of the tours you can get at the Animal Kingdom lodge, but that is only part of the experience. I would like to see much more detail on the special tours, dining experiences, and the like. I would rather see comparisons of high-end "gold" packages versus buying a-la-carte, and what experiences are really hard to book, even with a package.
Overall, this book will cover all you need to know at the resort, but don't expect a true guide to only what is "luxury" and worth visiting.
