I think the Guide is a good book for someone that is not a Disney Vet. If you are new to resorts, restaurants, etc., the Guide is great. I can't take my computer with me everywhere, but I can take my UG. One doesn't always have access to the internet 24 hours a day. There will always be new information out, but I wouldn't let that stop me from buying a book. I think the book and internet are a great combination, but I would never stop buying books because of the internet. Maybe it is the librarian in me.
