Guide Books for kids

[Isatricia]

I am planning to buy The Unofficial Guide to WDW this week. I can get paperback or the digital version. Which would be better?

Is this a good book for kids? My girls are currently 9 & 11 and I want something they can look through to figure out what are the must dos for each of them.

I use to buy the Official Guide Book for Kids. It is a great visual guide with lots of photos and tidbits. The Unofficial Guide does not really have kid appeal.
I buy now the Unofficial Guide and The easy guide to your first visit. I enjoy reading both, because I like Disney and so do they.

My kids love the Complete Guide, which has a red cover. Great pics and lots to read about too. My dd read it every night before our last trip.

We like Birnbaum's Guide for kids. But here's a really fun one if you want to do something a little different: http://www.guidetothemagic.com/shopping.htm

Not a guide book, but I got this journal for my DD7 for our upcoming trip. She loves to write and draw so I thought this would be a perfect way for her to keep track of her trip and have a memento

Not necessarily for the kids but helpful for planning when you have kids: I discovered after a recommendation "Fodor's Walt Dosney World with Kids" by Kim Wright Wiley. It was awesome.

My dd, now 21, loved Birnbaums Official Guide to WDW for Kids. Yes, it has only positive, pixie dusted info. But, kids don't need or care about info that gives the less than magical stuff.
The photos are great, and attraction descriptions are wonderful for kids.

I agree, I like Birnbaum's guides as they're more "fun" for my kids to read, but I did buy the "Guide to the Magic" travel journal for each of my kids for our trip this October. They love them and can't wait to fill them out. I really like the journal aspect of it, so we have their first-hand accounts of things and they like that they can put a sticker on each page once they've done the attraction. The facts and trivia were a nice added bonus. They were worth the money!

The Birnbaum Guide for kids is my kids' favorite, but they do like leafing through the Unofficial Guide's full-color edition.

My younger boys (ages 5, 7, 9 at the time) loved the Kid's Guide to the Magic (link below). It's a journal/scrapbook/guide all in one! They still like to get them out and look at them.

My 11 year old liked the Birnbaum one -- she read it so much the pages started falling out.

She also liked the Hidden Mickey guide books.
