Product Description

Product Description

The annual best-seller and most user-friendly guide to the great Orlando and Disney World experience. Thoroughly up-dated and expanded to include all the latest developments in Theme Park Central, along with all-new maps and extra content on other parts of Central Florida. No-one does it better, more comprehensively or with a greater understanding for what visitors really need in a guidebook to this area. With almost 300,000 copies sold to date, it's the proven winner and is often referred to as the 'holiday bible' by its many fans.

From the Author

Our annual 'labour of love' is now at a record 368 pages - and counting. There is just SO much to this amazing area of Central Florida it is a major challenge to fit it all in. But fit it all in we most surely do! Although we have a journalistic background, we started out in Orlando merely as Joe Tourist ourselves, and therefore we believe our eye for what visitors really need to know is second to none. This is a truly magnificent tourist destination but it is also hugely extensive, immensely complex - and guaranteed to baffle the unwary. That's what started us off in the first place, and we are now 100% confident we have the kind of guidebook that works to fulfil all those requirements, as well as providing the kind of insider detail and knowledge that only comes from living and working in Orlando. Yes it's our passion, but it's also our 'home,' and we genuinely want visitors to get the best possible experience from any visit here. Just take us along as your guides, and we feel sure you'll agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Gets Better, 29 Nov 2008
By Wendy Jones "wjones7423" (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
When the blurb says that this is an easy to use guide it, rather unusually, has it spot on.This book guides you through your trip to Orlando, the theme parks, other entertainmnet, night life and most importantly shopping (well maybe not). The focus on this being for the British Reader is excellent, with everything being described for those travelling from Britain. The reviews are fair, although, as ever, it is written from the point of view of those who love thrill rides and everything else is described as being a bit tame. All the theme parks are covered in detail, but I particularly like the way other areas of Orlando are given equal coverage. The guide to eating out is comprehensive and there is a clear guide to the malls and discount outlets. I rate this book highly and would recommend that all Brits planning a trip buy it. It is well worth it, particularly from Amazon as this is the cheapest place I have seen it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orlando = Brit Guide = Essential, 3 April 2005
By wicket2005 (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
Since my second visit to Orlando I have always bought these guides. How I wish I had discovered them for my first trip.

The guide is filled full of valuable tips and information which I have followed each time I go over there, and is suitable for the first timers as well as those fortunate to be able to go again.

It is written in such a way that makes it very easy to read and take in the facts, with a slap of humour thrown in every now and again. We all laughed at the author's description of two daring slides in one of the water parks that the author didn't dare go on.

I consider the book to be an essential bit of kit for my holidays in Orlando. Preordered this book way back in August 2004, when we booked this year's holiday and had to wait right till the end of the year for it to be published - agony! Well worth the wait though.

It covers all these areas: info on Orlando such as climate, visas, etc; how to plan your holiday, what to wear, health matters, etc; driving and car hire; accommodation; Disney theme parks; Universal theme parks; Sea World; Discovery Cove; Busch Gardens; other attractions in the area, lots of other places to go to not just theme parks; venturing further afield; nightlife; dining out; shopping; going home.

AND ALSO

an example holiday planner with the theme park's busy day guide. Now this guide alone I would pay £10 for it is invaluable. It lists the quietest days to go which makes a big difference when visiting these parks.

It is so important to plan your holiday to Orlando carefully, use this book to work out your itinery, then use the tips on how to get around each park. I cannot stress the need enough to be fully prepared for your holiday here by using this book. However, if you find it difficult to make up an itinery yourself - the author will do one for you too. There is a link in the book telling you how to order one from him and if you buy the book you only pay £10 instead of £25 which is an added benefit.

This isn't some stuffy guidebook, it is like listening to a friend tell you about his experiences of Orlando which is why it makes this the best book you can buy. Believe me I have looked at other guidebooks and nothing compares to this one.

Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Going to Orlando, don't leave home without this., 17 Dec 2007
By H. Barbour (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This year will be our fourth trip to Orlando, and this is the fourth edition I've bought in this series. I couldn't be without this book, especially when travelling with four children. It tells you everything you need to know about Orlando and what to do whilst there. As soon as I get the new edition I get out my highlighting pen and mark the tips I find especially relevant to our family, and what we found most helpful was the table showing the busiest and quietest days to visit all the parks, which is always right. I don't bring a novel to read by the pool, I bring this book, and have many friends who do the same.
