Disney Guide - By: T. quigley, 21 May 2008 
We have just returned from short trip to Disney Paris. This book was quite useful, but best read with a degree of caution. The authors seem to be lacking any real objectivity & are so gushy about the resort some parts of the book are nauseating to read. Whilst I would agree Disneyland is a great experience for children & a lot of fun for alll, the authors don't point out the poor points clearly enough. e.g. the hotel accommodation (we stayed at the Vienna Dream Castle) is below par for the star ratings given, I imagine because they have a captive audience & can get away with murder. Also the food outlets are alll extortionate.
Don't Leave Home without It - By: Max1198, 09 May 2008 
Having bought this book for a trip in July, we found ourselves needing it sooner as made an impromptu visit last week. The book is well structured & written & gives an accurate view of the parcs & village.
With children ranging in age from 3 to 7 the description of the rides & attractions made selecting what we were going to do & when easy. Also the information about the "shortcuts" for moving about in the main parc worked perfectly.
What's more, food is not cheap in in the village & we dined at Planet Hollywood where we took advantage of the 20% discount awarded on showing this book. The money saved was actuallly enough to pay for this book more than twice over.
Far from Up to Date - By: Mark Clegg, 22 Mar 2007 
I bought the previous edition of this book for a trip several years ago & found it completely invaluable. With tonnes of tips & tricks of the trade, it helped us get the most out of our trip to DLP.
A return visit last year was also helped by the same copy of the book.
We are going yet again this year & I had a look at this new edition with view to updating my knowledge of the parks. I was a little disappointed...
Since this book seems to be only renewed every two years, this current edition is already vastly out of date. Because DLP has an on-going evolution unlike any other Disney park in the world, this makes it difficult to be bang up to date with information.
Since this book has been published, we are now about to begin DLP's 15th Birthday celebrations, will soon see the opening of two new rides (Crush's Coaster & Cars Race Rallley in June) with another on the way early next year (The Tower of Terror in January reportedly). This book does not even cover the Buzz Lightyear ride in any great detail nad that has been there since last April.
Saying alll of this, you cannot find a better guide than this for DLP & it is certainly recommended that this book be bought before your first visit to the parks (well before if possible as it includes excellent info about booking & where to stay as well as how to prepare for your trip). I suggest augmenting this book with the accompanying website that has up to the minute info on alll that is going on.
Good but Misleading - By: Jon C. Rose, 16 May 2006 
We bought the 2006 edition & though it was full of information, well presented & good value, it proved to be far from up-to-date & the presentation/accuracy of information misled us on important points. It covers lots of subjects, but doesn't come across as very objective because it thinks everything Disney is wonderful. Fine for general info & tips but didn't answer a number of questions that another smalller book did.
Good book for those who don't know Disneyland! - By: S. Whyte, 14 May 2006 My husband & I are taking our two young sons to Disneyland Paris soon & knowing nothing about it wanted a guide. We have found this book to be excellent for people who have never got involved with the Disney experience before. The author gives excellent Brit Tips & a guide to what is suitable for which age groups. There is an honest guide to the hotels & restaurants, with tips on how to beat the queues & eat as cheapily as possible in the park. If you know a lot about Disney then this book may just tell you what you already know, but for a beginner I think it is ideal. It is also easy to read & the enthusiasm of the author for Disneyland Paris is infectious. I was dubious about my visit before reading this book, but now I am reallly looking forward to it.
