Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! describes Walt Disney World through the eyes of children

New edition

Birnbaum's Walt Disney World For Kids 2008 was published on September 18, 2007

It is part written by children with children in mind and the language used will typically appeal to kids in the 7-11 age bracket. Younger children may enjoy reading it with their parents.

It has around 160 pages and is split into a number of chapters. The first chapter, You're going to Disney World!, sets the scene with ideas for planning and packing in readiness for the great adventure.

For example it describes how to make a Simple Schedule to help kids decide what attractions and rides they want to see and do in each park plus suggested clothes to pack, not forgetting to leave space for all the goodies they will get when they are there!.

There are then four chapters, one for each of the main theme parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's MGM Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

It gives honest views on the attractions and rides and through the use of "attraction reactions" it tells you whether you might find a ride too dark, too scary, too fast or too wild. Kids are then better prepared on what rides will suit them best.

Like the 'grown-up' Birnbaum's Walt Disney World, the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort is covered in Everything Else in the World, including the two water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, Fort Wilderness, Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island.

The final chapter, Magical Memories, gives you space to preserve memories from this trip and plan the next trip.

Buy This Book

As well as all the attractions and shows, the book also gives kids views on shopping, best places to eat (from a kids perspective) and where to stay.

There are even a few blank pages for Disney character autographs (to save buying a separate autograph book), some fill-in-the-blanks puzzles to keep them amused when waiting in lines, crossword puzzle games and cartoons. If there is a complaint then it probably could do with more actual photographs and less cartoons.

Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! is cheap and make an ideal book for a child to read before visiting Walt Disney World as it gives them great fun planning their trip and marking off all the things they want to see and do. It also means they don't have to keep borrowing your guide book (or drawing all over it!).
