What is the best guide book to WDW?

[cjstarr]

Has anyone read the,
Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide eBook
by
Beth Haworth (a former CM)
And if so how would you rate it against the,
The Unofficial Guide
And the
Passporter.

The most popular are the Unofficial Guide and the Passporter. I have and use both but take the Passporter with me to WDW because it is ring bound so I can add pages. I usually end up tearing out pages from the UG and putting them into my Passporter along with optional form planning pages you can get both from the Passporter site and the UG site.

I have used Unofficial Guide, Passporter and Birnbaums. If you have time to read the unofficial guide is a great resource, filled with LOTS of information. Sample plans on what to see and how etc. Passporter and Birnbaum is a quick read and right to the point info. I don't see how you can go wrong with any of them. good luck

Some of this has probably been stated, I have not read the replies, but here it is anyway.

The two best/worth while are going to be The Unofficial Guide and The Passporter. I think it depends what you want. I feel that the Passporter is for organizing, with information. I think the UG is going to give you an unbiased report of everything. They’ll give you the pros and the cons. They tell like it is—the good, the bad, the ugly. They are in-depth. It will help you plan. It will help you save time. It will help you save money. It does not help you organize. Having the current guidebook gives you access to parts of the website. I buy a new UG every other year as soon as they come out (September-October). They are little out –of-date as soon as they come out (Disney is always changing), but updates are on the website.

The Birnbaum book is all pro-Disney and too full of pixie dust to be of much real use. I do think it is great to get the anti-Disney person on board and good for kids.
