This is an excellent resource for families who are brave enough to tackle the parks of Walt Disney World (twice the size of Manhattan).  Geared towards 10-14 year olds, but suitable for all ages, this guide makes it possible to have a family planning session months before you buy the (very expensive) park tickets, so that everyone gets to see all that they can see in your given time frame and budget.  Tickets get cheaper the longer you stay, so plan on staying a while - you can't do it in a day anyway.It contains guides to all the cool stuff at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, plus descriptions of the rides, shows and attractions - (S (Scary), A (Awesome), T (Thrilling), D (Dark), or W (Wet); plus important information on the tricky FastPass system, and tips on hotels, restaurants and fast food places. (There's TONS of information on eating places).  Like the others in the series, there are also historical facts, maps and a test your knowledge quiz at the end.This guide even contains a suggested timetable for booking rides with the FastPass system (book now, ride later) giving tips on attractions close by to visit while you're waiting your turn.  A must-read if you're thinking of doing Disney with kids, or you may find yourself wasting time and money waiting for rides and attractions you may not be interested in, or that may not be suitable for some family members.(Note: The Universal Theme Parks' Priority Pass system is way better than the FastPass system, with MUCH shorter waiting times - Disney, please take note)Amanda Richards, October 11, 2011
