Unofficial Guide is out

[ChimneyJim]

Just arrived minutes ago. I look forward to new editions so much. We leave in 2 weeks but still had to have it.

The Unofficial Guide is my favorite Disney planning guide.

mmmm I havent looked at one of these in a long time. I felt that they got kind of stale so how are they now?

Amazon UK says it's not being released until the 30th

 

[Deb286]

Just saw that too . And the 'with kids' version is not out untill the end of September. Decisions, decisions - do i order regular version or wait till September. Anyone know how different the two are?

A lot is the same every year. Reviews do get updated. Haven’t been in almost 2 years so wanted to refresh even though so much I already know.

I bought a kids version several years ago. I can look tonight at both from that year(never throw away)and let you know. I can’t remember beyond a general expansion of topics.

Is this put out by Touring Plans? Is it better to get the guide or the subscription or is it worth it to get both? (Especially for a first timer?)

Yes it is. I’ve done both for years. I like their crowd calendar and custom touring plans. Good app for parks use too. If you buy the book first you get a discount on the subscription. (I’m not “selling” for them, just enjoy their products)

BTW, some local libraries (like mine) have Hoopla Digital Services. If you have a library card and your library offers Hoopla Digital Services, you can download the 2019 Unofficial Guide to Disney World FOR FREE!!

This was my 'Bible' in my early Disney Days, year 2000 and thereabouts, but frankly this site has been all I've needed since the early aughts.

Just as a quick update, just checked in to the contemporary after requesting a specific room number via the touring plans fax function and got the exact same room number. YMMV

 

[GiJohnsGirl]

Genius!

I saw that one (2018 version) at our library yesterday, but after flipping, decided to go with the Birnbaums because visually, it was more appealing for the kids.
BUT I want to buy a copy for ourselves so the kids have a book to write in.

How does the Unofficial Guide differ than Birnbaums as far as content?

...I guess I should have checked both out and then compared on my own but I like feedback from the Disers
