    I would recommend "The Brits Guide to Orlando and Walt Disney World" by Simon and Susan Veness. Its a great book and has loads of good information in it.

    (It is on Amazon for £8.68 at the moment)

    i would agree with the brits guide too, however i have noticed lots of mistakes in the 2007 edition and in places the photos are out of sync with the text

    but saying that it's an informative guide with some good information especially for a first timer

    goes without saying though, better info on here[msnwink]

    If you head of to W H Smiths or Waterstones they have a few to choose from. Beware of buying from the bargain shops as the books are usually at least 3 years old and have had a reprint.

    The first time we visisted Florida we brought "The Brits Guide To Florida" as recommended above and found this a great help. There's some good tips in it regarding the best times to visit the parks etc though I'm sure you'll also pickup plenty of information off this website, I know we have!

    It's a pity you can't print all the info in these threads off and take it with you. It's been more valuable than any book on the market for our trips.

    I can believe it - and we had the laptop with us last year so I suppose that's bordering on the same thing.
