While giving a Disney vacation is a gift out of most people's price ranges, you still can help loved ones plan for their next theme park vacation. The best Disney guidebooks are from Birnbaum's, and [release] ahead of the New Year. . . . The guidebooks offer everything from tips on how to maximize your park experiences to restaurant reviews.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e―International Business Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen Steve Birnbaum launched this guide in 1981, he made it clear what was expected of anyone who worked on it: The book would be meticulously revised each year, leaving no attraction untested, no snack or meal untasted, no hotel untried. First-hand experiences like these, accumulated over the years, make this book the most authoritative guide to Walt Disney World.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Our expertise, however, is not achieved by being escorted through back doors of attractions (although we would enjoy that). Instead, we wait in lines with everyone else, always hoping to have a Disney experience like that of any other guest. While Walt Disney World has vastly expanded, and so has our knowledge of the most popular vacation destinations on the planet. We believe the best way to gather useful advice for a Disney park guest is to be one. Over and over again!\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eJill Safro, editor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou’re Going to DISNEY WORLD!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you first heard the news, you could not believe your ears. Could it be true? Were you really going on a vacation to Walt Disney World? Well, believe it or not, it’s true! Before you know it, you will be in the sunny state of Florida. It’s the home of Walt Disney World and the most famous mouse on planet Earth. (Big hint: His name starts with M.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have ever been there, you already know that it is a mighty big place with tons of stuff to do. In fact, there is so much going on that it can get a little confusing. That’s where this book comes in handy. It describes everything in the World, from the Magic Kingdom theme park to yummy meals with Disney pals. And it’s filled with advice from kids like you. There is no right or wrong way to read this book. You can start on the first page and read straight through to the end. Or you can skip around, read your favorite parts first, and come back to the rest later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo matter what you do, one thing is for sure: When you are done, you will be a true-blue Walt Disney World expert. Soon folks may start asking YOU for advice on how to have the most awesome vacation at Walt Disney World!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePack a Pen and Take Me Along with You\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Don’t leave this book behind when you head for the parks. It is full of tips and information that you will want to remember. There are pages for photos and autographs, too — don’t forget to bring a pen and your camera. Here are some ways to use this book while visiting the wonderful world of Disney:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTrack Your Trip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each time you check out a Walt Disney World attraction, check it off in this book. Then you’ll know what’s left for your next visit!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLine Time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nearly every Disney attraction has a standby line. That’s where you wait until it’s your turn to ride. Those lines are available to everyone — and can get a bit long sometimes. That’s when it’s fun to pass the time playing games such as Eye Spy or the Disney alphabet game — A is for Aladdin, B is for Bambi, and so on. (Read more about “waiting games” on page 131.) Another way to enter an attraction is to use the Lightning Lane — a service that offers a shorter line for an extra cost. To learn about Lightning Lanes, ask a parent or guardian to visit \u003ci\u003edisneyworld.com\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWe’re Warning You!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Disney rides are full of surprises. That’s part of what makes them so much fun. But not everyone enjoys surprises. If things like loud noises or wild turns scare you, look at the book’s attraction reaction warnings before you go on each ride. That way, the only surprises you come across will be good ones!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSearch for Hidden Mickeys\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Disney Imagineers have hidden images of Mickey Mouse all over Walt Disney World. (Many look like the three connected circles that form Mickey’s head.) You might see them in shadows, lights, drawings, or even in the clouds at some attractions. Look in this book for each HIDDEN MICKEY ALERT! to find a clue. Keep track of the number of Hidden Mickeys that you discover. When your Walt Disney World trip is over, write that number on page 149 of this book’s Magical Memories section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Last Word \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last pages of this book are for autographs!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e#1 Reader Pleaser\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Look for the Reader Pleaser stamp throughout the book.

Some of their Reader Reviews appear next to the attraction descriptions in this book.

They love Walt Disney World! How do we know? They told us so! Every kid who wrote to us last year received a survey form. The surveys came back filled with opinions about Walt Disney World. The forms also helped us find out about readers’ interests and hobbies. What did we learn? For starters, a lot of you enjoy reading, writing, playing sports, making music, and using computers. You also like to draw, sing, and dance. Your top Disney hotels are Port Orleans Riverside, Polynesian Village, Beach Club, and Animal Kingdom Lodge. Not all of you are crazy about dark or scary rides. But wild rides like Expedition Everest, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain are at the top of your list. You think Blizzard Beach is the perfect place to splash around. And when you can’t find a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar to snack on, you love popcorn, Mickey-shaped pretzels, a turkey leg, or a frozen pineapple treat called Dole Whip. Yum!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo everyone who filled out a survey form, THANK YOU! This book could not have been written without you. And feel free to write again.
