4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy Orlando and not just Disney., 19 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Most Orlando holidays revolve purely around the Walt Disney World experience. This book provides an opportunity to make the most of many of the other excellent parks and fun excursions available to the holiday maker.

It is true that you want to maximise your enjoyment without increasing your stress levels. For those accustomed to rushing and queuing in the Disney parks this takes up the majority of your day. How many times do you experience the thought, "I wish I knew a quicker way to enjoy this" or "That ride or show was not worth the wait!". This book takes much of the risk out of that problem...

It does not perfectly cater for every reader although as a whole provides a very valuable insight into the relative merits and best parts of Seaworld (My particular favourite), Busch Gardens, Cypress Gardens, Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, Universal Studios and Island of Adventure. There are details and rating of some of the available night life too.

Very good book all told.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the for Dummies series, 1 Oct 2003
This was okay but nowhere near the 'for dummies' book on the same subject. Still holds some useful information but is less informal than other titles and is not looked at from a non US citizen view point - which can be quite annoying at times. Not a bad choice but not a great choice for a guide book either.
