Dont Tread On Me

Y ou need different tools to work on your car than you do to fix your leaky faucet or trim the azaleas. Its much the same when it comes to a Walt Disney World vacation. If we think of information as tools, a couple with two toddlers in diapers will need different tools than a party of seniors going to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Likewise, adults touring without children as well as families with kids of varying ages both require their own special tools.

To meet the various needs of our readers, we have created one very comprehensive (and rather porky) guide, The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. At about 850 pages, we call this guide the Big Book. The Big Book contains the detailed information anyone traveling to Walt Disney World needs to have a super vacation. Its our cornerstone guide.

As thorough as we try to make The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, there isnt sufficient space for all the tips and valuable information that may be important and useful to certain readers. Thus, weve developed five additional Disney World and Orlando-area guides, each designed to work in conjunction with the Big Book. All provide information tailored to specific vacationers. Although some tips from the Big Book (such as arriving early at the theme parks) are echoed in these guides, most of the information is unique. You could think of the Big Book as a vacuum cleaner and the other guides as specialized attachments that certain users might need for a particular job (back to tools, you see).

So heres what is in the toolbox:

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World with Kids, by Bob Sehlinger and Liliane J. Opsomer with Len Testa, presents planning and touring tips for a family vacation, along with more than 20 special touring plans for families that are not published anywhere else.

Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, & the Best of Central Florida, by Bob Sehlinger and Seth Kubersky, is a guide to non-Disney attractions, restaurants, outdoor recreation, and nightlife in Orlando and central Florida.
