Outstanding Resource for Romance at Disney

The Perlmutter's have done an wonderful job of outlining the wonders of Disney for several years. Their book covers the romance of each Disney attraction, the general enjoyment/impression of each item, and they provide enough information about each item so that the reader can make a decision that's informed enough to say, "well, they didn't think it was too great, but that sounds perfect for my partner and me."Truly, if you are going to Disney without too many children (though the Perlmutter's also do a great job of describing how to enjoy Disney's romance WITH children around), then you owe it to yourself to purchase this book. My wife and I have never been disappointed by their observations and having lived in Florida for several years we have been to WDW far too many times! You can of course enjoy the romance of Disney without this book; however, doing so is similar to the difference between saying, "I love you" to your partner as you both head out the door to work or saying, "When the sun reflects off of your hair each morning I can't help but fall in love with you all over again" while you're holding him/her in your arms. - Or saying something MUCH more eloquent if that just turned your stomach! :)

Great info on Disney World and its environs ...

My fiance and I purchased this book as part of our honeymoon planning "frenzy." We found its advice to be invaluable in terms of how to manage our time, what to see, etc. There are some sections aimed at couples who have their kids along, but there are also whole sections dedicated to adults-only travel. Another nice feature of this book is the little icons that draw your attention to specific features of an attraction (e.g., a scale of 1-5 hearts indicates the "romantic quotient" of a given activity). The book also had some excellent information in terms of timing one's visit to Orlando area attractions (such as, arrive two hours earlier than opening time, to allow for parking, etc.). Not to be missed by honeymooners!

This book made our trip to Disney World a success!

Although we weren't at Disney World as newlyweds or on a romantic getaway (we took 2 teens and 2 adult children with us), the informative articles in this book about the hotels, restaurants and attractions helped our family plan a very successful trip to Disney World.We had purchased 5 different guides to Walt Disney World, but found ourselves referring back to this one the most. After we got home, we re-looked at the descriptions and found the Perlmutter's were the most accurate and honest.I highly recommend it and will get an updated version when we travel to Walt Disney World again.

Excellent, Informative Book

I have purchased 5 WDW books and this is my very favorite. From the way it is set up to the enormous amount of detailed information...it is a must have for couples going to WDW.

Great information, for couples or singles!

The Perlmutters have compiled an astonishing amount of useful information in this book - most of which is as applicable to families or single travellers as it is to couples. Lots of little, out-of-the-way sights are described, things you'd never otherwise know to look for. The descriptions of the Disney resorts are especially thorough -- this is the only guidebook I've seen so far that has MAPS of each resort!If there's a fault to this book, it's that the authors seem to love absolutely EVERYTHING they find at WDW - their most scathing restaurant reviews say mildly, "Well, this wasn't to our taste." But the descriptions of everything are thorough enough that you should be able to decide for yourself whether any given item is something you would like. And frankly, I think the Perlmutters' reactions to Disney are closer to my own honest reactions than any of the guidebooks that go out of their way to find fault.
