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:

Oh Wendy I forgot you were a teacher!!!
You make me laugh – I do NOT worry about my own kids missing school at all, but I am a teacher. I worry about my students. Hard to send message that school is important if I am skipping off to Orlando – I have an over-inflated sense of my own importance!
Thanks for the info…the airfare is so high for spring break, I doubt it will happen…

Hi Wendy and welcome back!! Deals are likely in early March and in April beginning late in the week of the 4th.
But look–if it helps–my parents took me out of school all the time, and yet the University of Chicago still nominated me to pursue a Rhodes Scholarship. Now maybe I woulda won one if they hadn’t taken me out so often, instead of falling by the wayside early in the selection process…but still!!
I am back! Thinking of spring break to see Harry Potter World and WDW. The rates are quite high for that time, do you think there will be any “deals” during the end of March and April? We know the crowds will be terrible, but I just cannot miss school! Wish I could convince myself to do it, but I do not seem able.
Hope you are well,
Wendy
Hey Mike! On 1, yes; on 2, we dunno!
