Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World
Most of the Disney guide books available are Unofficial, meaning they don’t get assistance from Disney, and aren’t endorsed by Disney. The Birnbaum’s books are the Official guides of Walt Disney World, in fact, this book is actually written and published by Disney. This is both good and bad:
The Good:
• Great, colorful images of characters, resort and rides are throughout the book, almost like a 200 page brochure
• Billed as the Inside Source
• Official Disney park maps and resort maps included in book
• Great guide to get kids excited about Walt Disney World
The Bad:
• Since they are the official guide, they can’t be impartial. Every resort, ride and restaurant are top notch, and perfect.
• Reads like a brochure, very little helpful information to help you make decisions.
The Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World is perfect if you want a quick introduction to Disney World, or have little kids you want to introduce to Disney World. If you are looking for a guidebook to give you in depth information about what is available, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
