Unofficial Guide to Disneyworld Florida 2010 selling at £7.99 WH Smith instore


£7.99

-26°

FOUND BY: dinglebert 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Went in today to use up some of the £5 off vouchers available for WH Smith off books at £10 or more. Picked up the usual Guiness Book for a £5 and went to puchase the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2010, just out which there were selling at the full price of £13.99. However it scans at £7.99. They had no idea why, I had no idea why. Couldn't use the voucher is it was now under £10 but a much better deal without it.

There may be disagreement but I find the Unofficial guide the best to use for Disneyland Florida. Our last one was ragged by the end of it. Hadn't seen it on offer at any near even single figures before.

Or get it right as Disneyland is in Paris, California or Tokyo whilst it is Disney World in Orlando! H&R left as that is a really good price.

The reason why I rate this book highly is that it gives access to their webpage where you can build you own individual park visit schedules. We went at Easter, one of the busiest times of year and by following the schedule had completed all we wanted by just after lunchtime each day allowing us the freedom to relax for the rest of the day and bypass all the 2 hour queues which developed.

having worked at Disney world, don't believe everything you read in these books. Some of the info in these types of books might well get you booted out of any theme park, things like moving ropes in the roped off area !! there are reason why the area is roped off normally to protect the guest, one other thing dont ever walk round any theme park in Orlando with this book in your hand, every cast member i have ever worked with HATES them!

Sorry no idea what you are talking about. Whereon earth in this book does it state to move ropes? You appear to suggest that cast members dislike guests to have information at hand about whats good and bad, quick and slow in a park. Too much like wanting power.

LOL.LOL.LOL i worked at the rose and crown pub, UK pavilion, EPCOT. 1994-1995 part of the international programs, so i take it you HAVE never been to Disneyworld or do you think all the international cast members are American too!
honestly some people!
Back to the op topic, the book is a total waste of money as per my comments in my 1st post.
If anyone wants tips on Disneyworld then pm me or Zeb as he is in the process of writing a little book ( pocket size)

and mate i do not lie, never have never will

thats not what i said. cast members would rather you ask them questions and they will go out of their way to help you, if you show up asking questions with this book in hand because something you have tried to do you couldnt the cast member is going to tell you " its the unofficial " guide and nothing to do with Disney then tell you the correct answer to your questions.

i also didnt say it was in THIS book about moving the ropes, if you had read them in the past you would have seen it,

if you find the book and site helpful then thats great but i like many others hate these types off books, even if they were for legoland or any other theme park.

If you want tips on the parks use the site mix69 mentioned
