Preferred Guide book

Hi, was just wondering if anyone has a recommendation between the two guide books below -

Brit Guide to Orlando 2020 (Brit Guides) - 25th anniversary edition

or

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2020 (The Unofficial Guides)

Many thanks

I've purchased the Brit Guide one previously and found it fab. I've just this minute ordered the 2020 version for my trip in October off of Amazon for under £10.

I’ve just bought the Brit Guide. I had the 2018 version. Not sure if I needed the newest version or if I’ve wasted my money!

It’s a good guide.

We always buy The Brits Guide for each trip but have also bought The Unofficial guide once or twice.

The Unofficial Guide. Also visit their linked website Touringplans.com

I like the Brits Guide as a general guide but if you want to really save yourself some time and get unbiased and detailed reviews of Disney it’s the Unofficial Guide for me. Worth booking a day off work and ploughing through it for a first trip.

I’ve just ordered the Brit Guide (it was on my Christmas list, but it didn’t turn up in my stocking, so I’ve bought my own 😁 ). I found the Brit Guide to DLP really handy when we visited Paris, so I’m hoping the Orlando one will be just as helpful.

Plus I’ve got plenty of time to buy and read the Unofficial Guide too, if it comes to it!

I like the Brits Guide as a summary of the wider area (I am currently reading the 2020 version now!). But if it is specific detail for WDW that you are after, I don't think The Unofficial Guide can be beaten (2020 version has already been read!). The only drawback of the latter is the size depending on whether you want the guidebook when you are actually on holiday. I clip out the tour plans from The Unofficial Guide and just take those with me.

Does the unofficial guide do both Universal and Disney?
