Early on, I noticed an anomaly as I wandered the parks. Despite the worldwide appeal of WDW, some visitors weren't enjoying themselves! Many of these folks had planned their monster vacation months ahead of time and weathered their kids' salivating impatience for weeks, only to arrive at WDW and quickly wither in the crowds, the heat, and the ubiquitous long lines. On a boat ride from the Magic Kingdom to Fort Wilderness, a man uttered a complaint that I've often heard at WDW: "This is supposed to be a vacation? I've been here five days, and I'm more tired than when I left home. I don't feel like I've had a vacation at all!"

I wondered: What could people do to enhance their WDW experience? Some of the answers are obvious and have been mentioned in other guidebooks. Some of the advice is not so obvious and is mentioned only in this book. What I've tried to accomplish in these pages is to give both first-time visitors and seasoned WDW pros the nuts and bolts tips and information for a hassle-free Walt Disney World vacation.

This new 2010 edition contains updated touring plans, descriptions and ratings of new -- and established -- attractions, and a general update on Walt Disney World Resort that is current as we go to press. If you follow my recommendations and touring plans, you will be as prepared as possible for a successful voyage to WDW.
Enjoy!
