   Excellent Supplement, February 17, 2008

   Full Disclosure: Cara Goldsbury was my travel agent for one of my (many) Disney trips. My ‘regular’ agent was unavailable and he recommended Cara as a substitute. My budget was definitely more value than deluxe, but I was impressed with Cara’s skill and ability to plan a luxury vacation on a value budget. That isn’t the object of this book, the recommendations and tips have a luxury price tag attached, but she does a great job of pointing out certain values when they do exist. If you are only going to buy one guidebook for your Disney trip, this shouldn’t be it. Go for the Unofficial Guide or a Passporter (or both!). But if you’d like an excellent supplement to those books, and would like a glimpse into the 5-star opportunities that Walt Disney World has to offer, it is an invaluable guide.

   As the writer of the guidebook Walt Disney World® with Disabilities, we’ve traveled to Disney more times than we can count. As our budget has allowed, we’ve participated in the upscale offerings at Disney. I would say that The Luxury Guide to Walt Disney World Resort is an excellent resource for those who are planning a full-out luxury vacation, as well as for those who are just planning to choose a few indulgences. Cara Goldsbury does an excellent job of sharing everything the reader needs to know to make the right decisions.

   The book is written with wonderful depth of detail that will truly help you envision everything being discussed. Cara engages all of the senses in her writing. As I read I could almost taste the foods that were being described in the restaurants.

   If you want to get a taste of what’s in the book, just visit the official site […] You may wish to take a look at the resort descriptions. I’ve found them to be extremely helpful. There’s a great depth of information including tips on which locations are the best within each resort and which to avoid. For example, in the Polynesian Resort review you’ll see a warning about a particular location that has a lot of noise from the evening luau. This kind issue can really damage a good time, and this book helps you avoid these types of pitfalls, and to choose the very best. Also, the various levels of rooms are discussed in detail that you don’t see in other guide books.

   When you’re deciding what to spring for, The Luxury Guide to Walt Disney World Resort is enormously helpful. It’s got wonderful in-depth information in vivid detail that will help you determine the best options for you. I highly recommend it!

   A guide to Walt Disney World for the “sophisticated” traveler, July 19, 2008

   The Luxury Guide to Walt Disney World doesn’t cover all the attractions, resorts and restuarants at WDW, nor does it intend to. Instead, it focuses on the higher-end (expensive) luxurious resorts, restaurants and entertainment at Walt Disney World. The Luxury Guide does a very good job of doing so, and if you’re interested in the best of what Disney has to offer in Orlando, I highly recommend this book.

   If you’re looking for “value” accomodations or how to have a low-budget vacation at WDW, then this guide is not for you.
