The Brits Guides are great books, Eeman. It was from buying the one for WDW that I discovered the DIS! :goodvibes

[Cyrano]

Not sure about new edition, but previous editions have a 20% coupon on the back inside cover :)

[BRobson]

When I was at the Explorers in July I saw Simon Veness getting some updates for the book - I still kick myself not going over to say hello:flower3:

[Orion33]

Guess what i'll be doing in my lunchbreak tommorow:rotfl:

[Cyrano]

20% coupon for what?

Oops... Planet Hollywood ;)

[Danauk]

The postman just delivered mine (and some pins I ordered off ebay!!) whooo. There is a 20% off food at Planet Hollywood cupon in the book again as well. I haven't started to read it yet, just having a quick coffee break (I really should be marking my classes English books today!)

[JC Butterfly]

any idea how an American can get her hands on one of these?

Play doesn't seem to ship here and Amazon doesn't have it in stock. Other options?

Yes, I bought it in Borders at the weekend.

[CityBlue]

I've got a copy of the 2006-2007 guides from the library which I have gone through serveral times to plan my trip. Do you think it is worth getting the new one? What new information is there in it?

By the way, I too think this is THE BEST guide on DLRP!!

[A Small World]

Yes, I bought it in Borders at the weekend.

Oh no we walked past Borders on Saturday but didnt look as we didnt think it would be out til next week

[MsSparkles]

British Bookshops in Kingston, Surrey and Windsor, Berks has them in store. I think they were about £8.99. Amazon.co.uk has them for £6.59 - ::Mssparkles rushes off to buy one!:: :goodvibes

It has some lovely photos in it :goodvibes

[Booknut]

Finally got my book in, I LOVE it!!! It has photos on every page and great descriptions as usual. I've been walking around the house carrying it in one hand and my baby in the other! LOL!

I'm so excited about going now!! :cheer2:

[loobymiss]

Well I've had a good look through my book and it has made me all confused now!! lol

I thought I had sorted what I was doing and where I am eating and now I'm all in a whirl!!!

The author listed 10 must do things and one of them was eat in the Blue Lagoon. Why? What's so special about that place? He also mentioned the Silver Spur.

cool! both of those places are on my list!

haven't been but if it is like Anaheim in any way, where else can you say that you ate a meal as part of the theme park attraction? (going to Blue Lagoon, being part of Pirates ride)

[mulan1]

i got one today, it's ok, need to read some more before i can rave like evryone else

[Ware Bears]

The Blue Lagoon is set inside POTC ride. It's ever so romantic in there ~ you'll forget you're in the middle of a theme park and think you're on a desert island! :cloud9: We've been there twice and enjoyed our food both times but it's worth going just for the experience alone. :thumbsup2 Some people say it's a "must" to have a table by the water's edge but we've sat there and further back and both have been great places to sit.

The Silver Spur is definitely on our "to-do" list ~ check out the pictures in our Restaurant Reviews. :)

[NIK]

Ill order one although at the moment it's unlikely that I'll be going back any time soon [sniff]

.. :grouphug: inbetween trip I enjoy living vicariously through everyone elses experiences.

[tfortracey]

wow its wonderfull! some sneaky hints and tips they ahve included as well that are different form last time - and just in time for my next holiday to DLP in 2 weeks :cool1:

id add a tip to the book tho, get your kids a big stuffed mickey or dlp clothes on ebay before you go, present them to the kids on the eve of the trip and they wont then ask for huge expensive dlp toys :rolleyes1

[A Small World]

DH went into town especially to buy it today and cant wait to read it.
Im being good though and not even looking at it til I get some housework done.
(Keep taking breaks to come on here tho :rotfl: )

[Rachie B]

I am off to buy one ! sounds fab

[alex.robinson]

I just got this today from Borders. It's fantastic! Very impressed so far.

(PS. If you're planning to get one from Borders this weekend, and you are on the emailing list, check your email because there's a 25% off voucher in the current newsletter, I got it for £7.50 :) bargain! I had to ask for the book though as they hadn't been put out yet, so it's worth checking if you don't see it.)

[kevankiki]

Is it worth buying this, even though I have a previous copy, not the last one but the one before that? Any advantages by buying this updated version? :confused3

[tfortracey]

there are some updates, the three new rides in the studios tower of terror and cruch's coaster, and the cars rally. also something has opened abck up in adventureland that had been tipped for the junk yard. cant recall now what it was, the canoe thing apparently. other than that, it is pretty much the same book. still worht a re-read tho if you are going again and a MUST for first timers

[kevankiki]

Thanks for your reply :flower3:

[Aine3]

Just got my copy today - looks great!! I see a coupon called "Merchandise store offer" inside cover. Is this for any of the shops and can it be reused each time?? We're off on Monday - cant wait!!!!!!!

No, it's for the Planet Hollywood store unfortunately! :)

[schnerk]

Any clue how I can get a copy over here in America?

[Ware Bears]

I've just checked, it's available on Amazon.com :)

[thelittlemermaid83]

[edmond]

Anyone got the new Brit's Guide to Disneyland Resort 2008 book
wondered if it was a good read and any better than the pervious edition

This thread will help :thumbsup2

[mulan1]

check amazon.co.uk mosty sellers probably won't mind shipping to the US, have a look!

[tiring_day]

Just ordered this from play.com for £7.49 with free delivery. Looking forward to reading this as I know how important it is to be clued up for a Disney trip (see below for how long I have to wait).

[CityBlue]

Can anyone please tell me if the new 2008-90 guide is up to date with all the new attractions (ToT, Crush's Coaster, Toon Studios etc.) I have read the 2006-07 guide and was wondering whether it was worth getting the new one.

Cheers.

DON'T BUY THIS OFF AMAZON!!!!

I went to and when i got to paying the total was £16.00!!!:eek:

So i went to play.com and it was £7.49 inc. delivery

lots of new pics, new tips and an update on the studios! always nice to keep up to speed with the parks no matter how small the changes and £7.50 isn't totally breaking the bank

There's my review :thumbsup2

[alex.robinson]

DON'T BUY THIS OFF AMAZON!!!!

I went to and when i got to paying the total was £16.00!!!:eek:


I get a total of £9.74 if I put it in my basket and go to checkout :confused3

[RoosMomKanga]

I can't find the 2008-2009 version in the US. On Amazon, even if I select (pay for) 2-day shipping it says 4-7 weeks with an estimate of up to April 21st to get it...too late! AbeBooks doesn't have the new edition here and Play.com doesn't deliver here. Other ideas to get in the US?

[Ware Bears]

Have you tried e-bay (UK)?

EDIT: Here's one that will ship to USA here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brits-Guide-to-Disneyland-Resort-Paris-2008-2009-And-P_W0QQitemZ160215375799QQihZ006QQcategoryZ1150QQss PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

[RoosMomKanga]

Thanks! Just ordered!

[Ware Bears]

Glad to help ~ enjoy reading it. :goodvibes

[tiring_day]

I bought it and my wife stole it. Hopefully I will get to read it before our trip in May.

[schnerk]

Yeah! My copy from Amazon just got to to Texas! I can't wait to start reading it!

Thanks:thumbsup2

[stick]

:dance3: thanks got mine coming :dance3:

[dlpSteve]

With no trip planned in the near future I thought buying this could wait, I even saw it in my local Waterstones and managed to resist. Funny how seeing it on Play and ordering it is so easy, in the face of supposed resistance! It has been posted and will be here in a few days - guess we can start looking for things in a whole new light, with a little one in mind!

Even though I have ordered it I couldn't resist a sneak peak in Waterstones today - looks great, though the previous edition did benefit from having people from this very message board credited in it - wonder who they were? :rolleyes1

[xeni72]

I must admit, I don't think the Brits' guide is great (I've had mine for a couple of weeks). But I think there are a couple of reasons behind this - one, I've done so much online research that it doesn't feel like it's telling me anything new, and two, before we decided to go to DLRP this year and leave WDW for when DD is older, I was given The Unofficial Guide to WDW With Kids, which is fantastic. Brits' guide seems a disappointment after that - the Unofficial Guide is so incredibly detailed and has lots and lots of general tips.

I wouldn't say there's anything WRONG with the Brits' Guide though, and where it has been useful is in allowing me to methodically go through the attractions one by one, and figure out what we're interested in (and what DD is too little for), without having to struggle through the DLRP website.
