2006 Unofficial Guide

[LindaG4458]

Went to Waldenbooks this morning and they had not received it yet. The clerk said that, since it is just a travel guide, they don't think that they have to have it in the store on the release date. They obviously don't participate on the DIS!

Ordered a copy from Barnes & Noble - it shipped today. Free shipping promises 3 to 8 days for delivery, but at least it's coming.

Just got an email from Barnes & Noble. The release date for this book has changed to 9/7/06.

The shipping notice they sent me had the title listed as shipped already. Darn! At least they sent the rest of the order instead of holding everything for a month.

Sorry for the bad informatiion.

I just checked my order at Amazon and they still have the expected ship date as 8/10...so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info, guys. We cruised in 1/03 and last went to the parks in 1/02 (as I officially get kicked off the DIS for not being "Disney" enough...). In my defense, I had a baby in there, and we generally travel as an extended family and just haven't (MIL pays--always nice--and she was po'd that we'd had another kid!).

At any rate, she's already booked us in the Poly for 8/06, doesn't know about my little "signature". I'm sure we'll mention it sometime before we leave for Disney. But I've been dying, dying, dying to read the Unofficial Guide--no point in checking my old ones! And I'll even splurge and get a new "Birnbaum's for kids". A Passporter, to me, is no splurge--it's a necessity right up there with sunscreen!

There is a lot of new stuff in the 2005 book, but not the new ticket structure--I know it's online, but since it's all new since I last went I'd like a closer look at it.
We sold our DVC points so either I have to rent points or stay at a resort--I'm leaning to the Dolphin if they have teacher discounts, or I'd really like to try the YB clubs--in the 2005 book, during value season, Y/B is actually less that CR tower, poly, BW, AKL and of course GF. (We've already done Poly, BW, WL and CR). We may have a parking lot view, but oh well!

The 2006 Unofficial Guide arrived today from Barnes & Noble. Comes in at 794 pages without the Touring Plan Companions or survey!The admission chapter alone is 61 pages so the new policies are well covered. Another change, just noted in passing, is that the parts that used to be in italics, lower-level bold, or dark-background-white-letters are now blue.

Will look at it more closely tonight during the Red Sox-Yankees game.
