Disney guides capsule review, just for Bryna

We used three guidebooks for our Disney visit: Fodor’s, the Birnbaum guide (which is actually published by Disney), and The Luxury Guide to Disney. The Birnbaum guide is relentlessly upbeat, never mentioning a flaw or blemish, but it’s quite detailed and includes lots of information on nearby hotels and resorts. The Fodor’s guide has a good sense of humor and points out which rides and attractions aren’t really worth going to (hint: Spaceship Earth) but doesn’t include as much detail since it also covers Universal, Sea World, and other area attractions. The “Luxury Guide” was pretty worthless, since we didn’t do lots of shopping. If I could only pick one, I think I’d go with the Birnbaum.
