There is a chapter on where to stay with the pros and cons of the various parts of International Drive, Lake Buena Vista and the I-4 corridor and US-192 in Kissimmee.

If you are planning on visiting the Orlando area then this is a great book to take on the plane with you and keep in the glove box of your car.

Note that most guide books are re-published annually so you can often pick up a bargain if you don't mind last year's edition.
