Which is THE BEST Guide Book?

The best source for WDW info?!?! WHY THE DIS OF COURSE!

We've always used the UnOfficial Guide - love it! There is tons of info, great tips, things to know. But honestly, nothing beats the first hand experience of the folks on this board. I am constantly amazed at the tid-bits that they come up with!

Birnbaum -- If you are a beginner and just want the basics.
Unofficial -- If you are an obsessive planner and want tons of info. BUT I hesitate to recommend it as your only source.

I suspect the Passporter may be best for those somewhere in between; I'm planning to buy one and check it out!

Maybe I'm wierd, but I love the Birnbaum book for the pure "I can't wait to go" factor. It's just more fun (if slightly less informative) than the Unofficial Guide. But since it's the Official guide, is guess it's have to be more fun.

How does Frommers compare? Sorry- I mean Passporter- how's the fun factor?

Must not be very good, as it didn't get any votes.

I thought I had read poor reviews about it, but it had been a while and I couldn't remember, so I included it anyway. There haven't even been any comments about it....???? Does it even exist? I was pretty sure I saw something about it!?!

I would NEVER Recomend the 'Unofficial Guide' because of some of the sug. it makes. In the mide of the thing, it will tell a parent to put lifs in a kids shoe to get on ride with height req. To me this is the worst thing a book can do and Hope that some kid does not get hurt because they were really to small for a ride. This is my 2C.
