Disney provides a great deal of official information on its website and sanctions a series of Birnbaum's Disney guidebooks. However, there is also an unofficial guidebook that goes beyond the typical information to share strategies direct from Disney World visitors. The book has a companion website that gives the most up-to-date information and teaches readers how to make their own customized touring plans to help them have the best vacation possible.

From Quick Guide: Your Guide to Disney Resorts

    Book

  1. "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" is a guidebook that is updated annually. Rather than being based on official information provided by Disney itself, it is based on advice and feedback from Disney World guests. The book covers shows, attractions and restaurants in the Disney theme parks and hotels. It also covers non-Disney hotels and ways to save money in the Orlando/Kissimmee area. It ranks attractions for both adults and children to help with trip planning. It can be brought along on vacation for easy reference.
  2. Website

  3. Touringplans.com is the companion website to "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World." It features a variety of useful information, from how large the crowds will be at certain times of the year to how to lessen the wait time for lines. Much of the content is free, but there are also special areas that can only be accessed by people who purchase the book. The website also includes updates to "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World." Even though the book is updated every year, the website allows the publisher to list changes in the meantime so readers will always have the most accurate information.
  4. Touring Plans

  5. "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" contains information on how to create a customized touring plan based on whether you have any children, their ages, the time of year at which you will visit, how long you plan to spend at each park and the attractions you choose to see. If you sign up on the website, you can view plans from others and share your own plan. The website lists several samples in both short and detailed versions.
