• Frommer’s Irreverent Guide to Walt Disney World takes a light hearted look at Walt Disney World but has not been updated for a few years
• Frommer’s Florida from $70 a Day is especially for the budget conscious but has also not been updated for a few years

There are also two pocket sized guides but they have not been updated for 10 years; Frommer’s Portable Miami and Frommer’s Portable Tampa and St. Petersburg.

If you are not bothered about having the very latest edition, you can often pick up a bargain by buying the previous year's edition.

Like some other publishers, Frommer's now offer free updates to their guide books via their website so when new attractions open and prices change, they can provide the latest information.

If you are thinking about a Caribbean cruise, then there is also Frommer’s Caribbean Ports of Call.

If you are looking for an "official" Walt Disney World guide book then you should consider the Birnbaum guide books, alternatively, there are also various books from Fodor (Fodor's Gold Guides) and PassPorter plus many others.
