Apart from my bible the Brit's Guide I love Passporter and theUnofficial Guide

I have the deluxe passporter which comes in a binder, it has pockets for each day so I put tickets/PS numbers in each of these

Another vote for The Unofficial Guide to WDW. It's very detailed and gives a very objective picture of what you will encounter in WDW. It also provides great tips and detailed touring plans if you want to use them. They really work. Good luck and have fun planning!

Have to agree with "A Brits Guide" and "Passporter"

Guide book junkie, here! I think I probably have them all (and more than one edition of most ), but if I had to choose just a few, I would say:

A Brit's Guide - unique. The only guide I know of which is written specifically for Brits. There is invaluable information here which you just won't find in the other guides. But you already know that.

Bob Sehlinger's Unofficial Guide - before I discovered the Veness-ionary, this was my bible. Very detailed, if a bit on the obsessive side as far as planning goes.

Passporter - entirely Disney and more geared towards those staying onsite, which is at once irritating and yet strangely inclusive. Definitely one to supplement other guidebooks, rather than an oracle, but worthwhile nonetheless.

Insight Guide - I think this is fairly new. I like it because it's visually attractive with lots of photos - a bit like the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness guides (which I also like), but not quite as busy.

Fodor's - I've got a bit of a soft spot for this one as it was the first WDW and Orlando guide book I bought back in 1992. I've still got it and it's about half as thick as the current edition - just goes to show how much the area continues to grow.

Others in my collection include Frommer's, Kelly Monaghan's Universal Orlando, An Idiot's Guide, Econoguide, Everything Guide, Rita Aero's, Birnbaum's, A Luxury Guide, plus several on dining and Florida in general.
