Sometime this morning our The easy Guide to Your First Walt Disney World Visit got its 75th review on Amazon.
This strikes me as a bit of a watershed—a drizzle-shed?—because after all, the Iliad, which has been out a couple of thousand years longer—though not quite that long on Amazon—has in its most-reviewed edition only 520 or so reviews.
Of our 75 reviews, 73 have five stars. That’s 97% for those of you keeping score.
Homer, in contrast, is getting only 66% five stars. Must be enraging…
I can’t tell you how grateful I am (and likely Josh will be, once he gets out of bed) that so many of you have written such kind words about a book that we really put our hearts and souls into!
I have some clear favorites among the reviews you’ve done, but so as to not pick and choose, here’s excerpts from the last ten reviews posted:
- Jilly: “This is an awesome book with tons of information to help not only the first time visitor but the veteran park goer.”
- Paula: “The one and only book you need to plan your Disney World magical vacation!”
- Eric: “I have read a number of WDW Guide books and this may be the best – especially for a first timer.”
- Leann: “Great information even for those of us who have been there multiple times.”
- Jeffrey: “I have read all the guidebooks and this one is the perfect mix of information, traveling tips and reviews. It is a practical and honest guide to a Disney World trip. Nice work Josh and Dave!”
- Holli: “Great guide for those traveling to Walt Disney World.”
- Michelle B: “Great guide to Walt Disney World.”
- C.R.: “We saw every attraction we wanted and were able to get reservations at every eatery on our list–but that, my first-time friends, requires you get (and act on) sound advice well before you land in Orlando. That’s what this book delivers. Read it.”
- Janet: “Great resource.”
- Chloe: “Great guide book. Full of very useful Disney planning advice. Worth every penny.”
But my favorite review still comes from Celebrity SpokesBaby Liam:

Kimberly–that’s what I think, no parade, no fireworks.
Hi Dave,
I understand that parts of the Frozen Summer Fun will be now continued past Sept 28 which you predicted. Do you know what parts will not be continuing? I seemed to only read that the Frozen fun land and the sing along will continue – does this mean that the parade won’t be on anymore?
Oh Leah, good luck!!
Ah, that makes more sense, tho we’d hoped to go before our 9yo turns 10 in May and thus becomes a WDW adult! Thanks tho : ). I think we’re leaning toward AofA 1st week of March 2015 to catch the start of the Garden Festival-my husband’s big into gardening. We need a pick-me-up as he got laid off at the end of Aug and planning a WDW trip seems just the ticket!
I meant Sept 2015, Leah!! I think you’ll have more fun at AofA than a moderate…
