Thanks

The Brit Guide to Orlando is a very good book and is written by 2 Dibbers namely
Simon & Susan Veness

How much of the book is WDW vs the rest of Orlando?

I've just received (today!) the 2019 Unofficial Guide, which is linked to the Touring Plans Website. It seems very in depth and devoted almost exclusively to WDW (a couple of chapters on other stuff - they also have a separate Universal Guidebook). We use mostly Lonely Planet guides for all of our other trips, and so far the Unofficial Guides feels to be in a similar-ish style (but bear in mind I've only dipped in!) The bits I've read are in a very read-able style.

Have previously used the Brit Guide which is also good, but more of an overview of the whole Orlando area and definitely less in depth (for example lots less information on the intricacies of how FP+ works and affects wait times) but then it is also a shorter and smaller book, so easier to travel with. My Dad id wedded to Birnbaum (going back to the 1980s) but I think I prefer the Unofficial Guide so far.

I like the Birnbaums one. I don't like the Unofficial Guide as it's full of criticism and sarcasm. If I hadn't already been there before reading it, it would have put me off going. The Brit Guide tends to be inaccurate in places so I avoid that too.

Adam Hattan (British Disney Vlogger) is releasing a WDW guide book in December, I've pre-ordered a copy on his website. Hopefully it's decent

I like ‘The Easy Guide to your Walt Disney World Visit’. It’s very informative

Would also recommend watching you tube videos like Disney Food Blog (they do some general none food ones as well) and Tim Tracker. I watch these while cooking/washing up etc. and it’s a great way to pick up tips and make the chores a bit less tedious into the bargain!
