The Unofficial Guide(r) Walt Disney World(r) 2011

$19.99
I used this book throughout our recent vacation in WDW and Universal. Tips and daily plans saved a lot of time and increased our enjoyment significantly.
The most valued tips is how to start the day early in the morning and which attractions to get fast passes to first. This book is a highly recommended Orlando vacation companion.

Although it is thick, I carried it in my backpack and referred to it many times each day, especially for age related ratings of attractions (we had grade schoolers, pre teens, adults, and seniors in our party).
It has very good index, and important subjects are approached from multiple angles which is very useful for quick reference using index. For example to find all rides people in our party who are prone to motion sickness need to avoid, all I had todo is go to subject index under "motion sickness" which gets you to a single page with all matching rides in each park.
The information is almost always accurate (only inaccuracy I noticed was in DHS Fantasmic! schedule), and have both author subjective ratings and opinion side by side to "objective" (survey based?) ratings

My only compliant is that I paid $10 for their iPad app annual subscription hoping I will get the rating and attractions descriptions (so I can leave nook in the hotel) but it only gives the touring plans, is slow, and only works while there is a network connection (the wait times are very usefull but free).
Also it will be nice to have a fast reference "cut and use" pages also for Universal, and have those pages designed so they refer to same park on both sides of the cut page.
