Yep, the WDW stuff is just one chapter - loads of other useful information in there, especially if you are new or haven't been for a while. If you want to explore outside of the main tourist zone, some good info and ideas in the book.

Disney is only about a fifth of the book, so you should find plenty to keep you interested beyond the House of Mouse In fact, we have two chapters dedicated purely to 'off the beaten track' type adventures, and we really recommend people go beyond the theme parks these days to discover places like Winter Garden, Mount Dora, Winter Park, DeLand, Blue Springs State Park, Crystal River, and others. There's a LOT to the Orlando area in addition to Disney and Co.

After a very long break, we’re now back in full planning mode for our September trip. Just ordered this latest book off Amazon for Ł14.39 and next day delivery. We probably don’t need the book, but it’s a fab read (we’ve had a few copies over the years) and I’m old school when it comes to planning/reading/making lists etc. Plus it’s great to support Simon & Susan in what must have been a difficult couple of years. Thanks both!

Just ordered too! Haven’t been for 7 years and now we have teenagers I’d like to explore some of the area while we’re there.

I'm off to order a copy too. We haven't had a copy for some years now but we did use this book for our first two trips back in 2004. If it wasn't for this book we would have been wandering around like headless chickens!

I remember once being in Epcot and standing in a queue for something and we got chatting to an elderly lady who had her two young grandchildren with her. She had no idea about the fast pass system and had been queuing the whole time!

This book can save hours for newbies. You can do what suits the group you're travelling with.

We have received our copy. Really good as always and updated with covid information. Even though we have been a few times there are things we were not aware of.
This is a book that is good for everyone

If there's one thing we've added to the book in recent years that is going down really well with UK visitors, and especially families, it is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. It's REAL Florida, not far from Disney, and it's a great 90mins-2hrs enjoying the gators, birds, turtles, etc, that are here in abundance:
