Far from Up to Date - Rated
I bought the previous edition of this book for a trip several years ago and found it completely invaluable. With tonnes of tips and tricks of the trade, it helped us get the most out of our trip to DLP.
A return visit last year was also helped by the same copy of the book.
We are going yet again this year and I had a look at this new edition with view to updating my knowledge of the parks. I was a little disappointed...
Since this book seems to be only renewed every two years, this current edition is already vastly out of date. Because DLP has an on-going evolution unlike any other Disney park in the world, this makes it difficult to be bang up to date with information.
Since this book has been published, we are now about to begin DLP's 15th Birthday celebrations, will soon see the opening of two new rides (Crush's Coaster and Cars Race Ralley in June) with another on the way early next year (The Tower of Terror in January reportedly). This book does not even cover the Buzz Lightyear ride in any great detail nad that has been there since last April.
Saying all of this, you cannot find a better guide than this for DLP and it is certainly recommended that this book be bought before your first visit to the parks (well before if possible as it includes excellent info about booking and where to stay as well as how to prepare for your trip). I suggest augmenting this book with the accompanying website that has up to the minute info on all that is going on.
Good but Misleading - Rated
We bought the 2006 edition and though it was full of information, well presented and good value, it proved to be far from up-to-date and the presentation/accuracy of information misled us on important points. It covers lots of subjects, but doesn't come across as very objective because it thinks everything Disney is wonderful. Fine for general info and tips but didn't answer a number of questions that another smaller book did.
Good book for those who don't know Disneyland! - Rated
My husband and I are taking our two young sons to Disneyland Paris soon and knowing nothing about it wanted a guide. We have found this book to be excellent for people who have never got involved with the Disney experience before. The author gives excellent Brit Tips and a guide to what is suitable for which age groups. There is an honest guide to the hotels and restaurants, with tips on how to beat the queues and eat as cheapily as possible in the park. If you know a lot about Disney then this book may just tell you what you already know, but for a beginner I think it is ideal. It is also easy to read and the enthusiasm of the author for Disneyland Paris is infectious. I was dubious about my visit before reading this book, but now I am really looking forward to it.
This book is my holiday bible! - Rated
I bought this book for going to Disneyland paris in 2005 - having never been out of the UK before and wanting to make the best of my time in Disney I invested in the book - IT WAS FANTASTIC. It gave helpful information that was always relevant - my son loved the section about short cuts to the 1st ride of the morning - it worked without fail. The hotel section was a real boost and it really helped with planning - we did not queue for more than 10 mins for any rides in the 3 days we were there. We used the same book this year and again as people were complaining about the queues I was sat there thinking 'What queues' It was also helpful that he inclued a range of ages in his book so it was relevant for my 8yr old I am planning to go to Florida next year an I already have my eyes on his guide for there!
Fantastic book!!! Don't go without this book!!! - Rated
This book is fantasic and if you have found this book then you are halfway there!!
The book is so detailed it covers everything!! All the information that is required for you to plan the perfect trip is in this one book.
The book covers all the rides, ratings and how long the queues approx would be. Also highlights the rides where you can use fast pass. Maps are provided within the book and there is also further details on Disney Village for restaurants and other things to do like going to paris and shopping outlet.
I had alrady booked my hotel before getting this book but the details on each of the hotels is very good and can help you decide the best hotel if you havent yet decided.
Finally, if you get this book it will def put you in the mood to go! The book has so many great pictures and so easy to read that you will be counting the days to go.
