I will be perfectly clear here: I love this guide. And 'certainly informative and gives a nice overview of the resort are beautiful color photos complement the book and really fun. It 'easy to read and provides the same quality as regular Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, but not 800 pages long. Above all, I like the humor with which, in many sections. From image captions humorous, satirical take on the fantasy landExpansion to the list of hotels fake (which, I see something could be confusing for some, but I personally thought they were great), the mood of the guide provides a satirical edge that does not overwhelm the content, but makes' tips on not only to gather information. E 'satirical, but not cynical, and informative, but not dry.
However, there is a complete guide. It was not to be, is a supplement to regular Unofficial GuideWalt Disney World. I knew when I bought the book (which already owned the regular Unofficial Guide), two guides and I brought with me on my last trip to Walt Disney World. While the color was perfect companion to enjoy the parks and use as a reference, the guidance was often referred to regularly during the trip. For example, if you wish to book a look behind the scenes, or if I wanted to know more about Downtown Disney shopping. Help set is also much more detailed thanit comes to planning factors before you leave (such as the type of ticket purchase). If you know that the color will be useful and informative Companion, but not go completely, so I do not think you will be disappointed. But if you're going to try to focus on just this book to plan your vacation, you'll probably be disappointed. And yes, it is true that you miss buying this and just get the Unofficial Guide to themselves and have all the information. But personally I think you need the portability, great pictures, humor and unique tone heart more information make this a must buy Companion.

The Color Companion is perfect for pairing with The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World ("the big book") or it can stand alone to provide you with what you need to know in a flash when you're visiting the park. While the Unofficial Guide gives you more than 800 pages of highly detailed information on planning, staying and surviving your visit to Walt Disney World, The Color Companion also takes the "Unofficial" approach, but SHOWS you where you'll be staying and what you'll be doing -- in a trim 360-page book, perfect for tucking into a backpack or totebag.
This unique visual guide that lets you seehow wet you'll get on Splash Mountain® (p. 166), what the crowd conditions are at different times of day in Fantasyland® (p. 34), and how the parks are decked out for various holidays (p. 280).

The Color Companion provides reviews of all the Walt Disney World® resorts, including pictures of the guest rooms, swimming pools, and resort themes.

As always, The Unofficial series is completely independent. If a restaurant serves lackluster food or an attraction is not worth the wait, we'll tell you.
Check out The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World®, the bestselling independent guide to Walt Disney World® and the perfect companion to this full-color guide.
The Unofficial Guide Guerrilla Research Tactics
Amazon-exclusive content from the authors
What makes The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World so “unofficial”? There’s madness to the methodology – the detailed research that goes into the Unofficial Guides is just as quirky as the guides themselves.
• We’ve slept in every Disney resort multiple times and more than 80 Orlando-area properties. Only once did we wake up covered in bugs. (It was an off-site hotel.)
• We test hotel room soundproofing using a sophisticated digital sound meter and a copy of The Who’s Greatest Hits.
• The first time we did Orlando spa reviews, one of our researchers had an eyebrow burned off during a waxing that went horribly awry.
• We once logged more than 700 miles in one week on buses to test Disney’s transportation system, and never left Disney property. The bus drivers got so used to us being on board that one forgot we were there and took us back to the station when his shift ended.
• We also test pillow fluffiness using a measurement process we invented. We were going to use a fake human head as part of the test, but worried about getting it through airport security. We settled on a gallon jug of water, which is about the same size and weight as an average adult’s noggin.
• We’ve dined at every sit-down restaurant multiple times. When we test counter-service restaurants, we order at least one of everything on the menu, and break up in to small teams to sample each thing. I think we’ve tried every counter-service food item in every Disney theme park.
• Our crowd prediction models take in to account everything from the day of week and time of year, to the vacation schedules of the fifty largest school districts east of the Mississippi, to weather phenomena including temperature, rainfall and humidity.
• A few dozen hearty readers per year participate in something called The Ultimate Magic Kingdom Touring Plan, which is a computer-optimized guide to seeing every ride, show, live performance, parade and fireworks in the Magic Kingdom (between 50 and 60 separate attractions, depending on refurbishments) in a single day. The current record is 55 attractions in 11 hours, 38 minutes. The average wait in line per attraction is less than 2 minutes. Despite sounding more like an endurance race than a vacation, families love it. A few have sent photo albums chronicling their day.
The Staff
Data is analyzed by a professional statistician, who helps us build models of park wait times.
The person who helps us figure out the best Disney deals is a PhD economist at their day job.
The person who explains key points in theme park architecture for us is a professional urban designer with experience on a number of Disney projects.
Our advice for children comes from a nationally-recognized child psychologist.
Len wrote his Masters thesis on how computer programs could create efficient touring plans for theme parks. He was awarded a U.S. patent for this research, which was also published in academic journals.
